Updates on Rookie Draft order

by Cameron Irvine

The Simulation Football League has finalized the draft format and class for Season 24. With 36 players previously labeled eligible and active here, an additional five players have opted into the draft: 

  • OG - Grit Gorski
  • OT - Porsche Henson
  • DE - Harlie Wilson
  • OLB - Duncan Ohnim
  • SS - Kronk Worthy

This gives us 41 draft eligible and active players for Season 24. The league will hold two rounds of the draft. The first round will require all teams to make a selection. The second round will feature nine optional selections - teams can select a player or opt-out. Once nine teams have opted out, all players draft eligible will be selected.

Round 1 will begin at 6:30 pm ET. The second round will begin after a one-hour intermission.
