Defenders took Deondre Francois from Orlando. They didn’t protect any QBs.

Arlington protected just Perez and Ahlers.

Interesting. I thought they would have kept Connor Blumrick because he played Tight End in college.

Surprised to see Kurt Benkert protected by San Antonio.

Not surprised by DC - they do need a QB bad with Ta'amu possibly out and King not a starter anyway.

AR has the likely best QB in spring FB in Perez with McGough on GB.

Memphis is stacked, Kelly, Cookus and Willis

StL needs a QB

Fox Sports - UFL Draft eval

>> Following the merger of the USFL and XFL, each of the eight UFL teams selected players from its respective conference's player pool in a dispersal draft. The full list can be viewed here.

Heading into training camp next month, some teams already have come away with players who have made their mark on spring football over the last two years and enjoyed memorable careers at the collegiate level.

The USFL and XFL have had a combined 150 alumni receive NFL contracts over the past two seasons. Two USFL alums, KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey, earned NFL Pro Bowl selections as members of the Dallas Cowboys.

Players who perform at a high level can return to the NFL or, in the case of Aubrey, get a first chance. USFL and XFL postseason award winners become high-demand players at the NFL and CFL level.

So here you'll find no Jordan Ta'amu. No Alex McGough. No Frank Ginda. No McCleod Bethel-Thompson.<<

McGough is in Green Bay and MBT is already back in the CFL.

No shock but it looks like Wade Phillips was busy re-uniting with his old roster.
