Welcome to the 2026 AltFL Rookie Draft! 

We're keeping the draft in its own separate thread, which means if you want to make commentary and/or update trade lists, please post in the AltFL Season 2026 thread. This will keep the thread clear of anything other than draft picks so I can make sure nothing gets missed or overlooked.

Over the previous 6 seasons, quarterbacks have dominated the first overall pick, with Joe Burrow going to Arizona in 2020, Trevor Lawrence being selected by Toronto in 2021 (before being dealt to Carolina), Bryce Young selected by Minnesota in 2023, and Caleb Williams becoming a member of the Chicago Cyclones in 2024. The anomalies? Drake London going to Kentucky in 2022 and Travis Hunter to Birmingham last season. What's in store for today?

Before we being, a review:
-- The Rookie Draft is a two-round draft.
-- The draft order is fixed and the order (with all applicable trades) is shown below.
-- If you have a trade that is not shown on here, please let me know ASAP! It's much harder to fix things after the fact.
-- This is a slow draft process, meaning every pick has a max time of 24 hours. I will post when a pick is skipped. There is a bit of leeway being given due to the 4th of July, so I'll be giving them at least 36 hours to pick. It will revert back to 24 hours with the first pick made on Sunday.
-- Please keep track of the draft as it happens! Again, this is a slow process, so I request patience. However, we want the draft to move along as quickly as possible as well, so be prepared. If you're on the Discord, you may get pinged on there when your pick becomes available.
-- You have the option of sending me your rankings, and I can make that post as soon as you're on the board if you feel you would struggle to be online for your pick.
-- Trading is available during this process. You can see all the Draft Picks a team currently owns by clicking that link. You can see the Keeper List with values with this link. All trades MUST be submitted for approval from the trade council, so please continue to send those to either me. BOTH PARTIES OF THE TRADE MUST CONTACT ME TO VERIFY BOTH SIDES HAVE THE SAME TRADE IN MIND.
