As you were working on some scouting, last night I took the time to do some of my own scouting and drafting would you believe. In preparation for 2026 expansion, I ran an experiment whereby the league were to draft for 2025. The draft was to take place with a snapshot of the roster upon completion of the championship game this past season. I worked under the premise no players had yet been signed by the NFL. So two teams, the Oakland Invaders and the San Diego Squadron were the two teams doing the drafting. Seeing as St. Louis has done extremely well, it only makes sense to have two cities that have shown to be great fans of the game, having both had NFL teams in the past. I am hoping attendance would start at 25,000 and only go higher. Again, it would only grow the TV audience as well as the league would be relevant on the West coast. The cities would report on those teams as the fans would be interested. Please, as fans, do not be disillusioned. The product is good and it is real. If the NFL expands by four more teams, about a quarter of the UFL will be in the NFL across it’s roster and practice squads. I feel it would be even higher as there is already a good number of UFL players in the league today. I understand many of those players will not be among the leagues highest paid and NFL stars such as Patrick Mahomes won’t be signing with the UFL salary and shunning NFL riches, but it also tells us all that if the NFL can contemplate using those players, this league is not a farce. It is what the USFL was advertising a couple of years back “REAL” football.
Getting back to the draft, from last year’s ending roster each team was able to save 11 players. From there the Invaders (or a more favorable name, but royal blue (maybe a little lighter, not navy, and yellow colors) and the Squadron each drafted a player from each team. At that point the Invaders drafted Matt Kaskey, Sam Tecklenberg, Jahcour Pearson, EJ Perry, Davin Bellamy, Steven Jones, Lamont McPhatter and Mark Thompson. The Squad had Cole Schneider, Marcel Ateman, Chuck Filliaga, Levonta Taylor, Kelvin Harmon, Cameron Hunt, Vontae Diggs & Reid Sinnett. At this point each UFL team was able to protect 5 more players while each expansion team drafted 4 more across each of the UFL teams, without one team losing more than one player. I did these until each expansion team had 20 players. The rest of the Invaders: Tyler Vaughns, AJ Thomas, Josiah Bronson, Alex Ellis, Trey Quinn, Troy Williams, Gabe Sewell, Anthony McFarland, TJ Carter (Mich-DE), Jimmy Moreland, Adrian Ealy and Terrone Prescod. The Squadron: Nate McCrary, Jordan Williams (S.A.-LB), Ethan Westbrooks, Sage Doxtater, Taco Charlton, Vyncint Smith, Bunmi Rotini, Kameron Kelly, Matt Corral, Mateo Durant, Kaden Smith and Kelechi Anyalebechi. In addition to the draft picks and free agent signings this would be a good basis to build their rosters. This would support expanding the league by TWO teams, but that expanding by 4 would be difficult at this time. We want to keep the product we have built afterall.
IF each team continues to bring 65-70 players to camp, this will allow players to gain in experience. Hoping growth allows for 2 more teams in 2027 including the New Jersey Generals.
