Former Michigan Wolverines QB Shea Patterson was drafted first overall by the Michigan Panthers.
The USFL began its inaugural two-day draft Tuesday night in a way that most fantasy football players would understand, and that's a snake draft with two minutes to select a pick. But the new professional football league added a couple of twists to its draft.
One of them is a method of rotating the teams every other round so that it ensures every team gets the first pick in a round. The other is designating which position each team can draft per round. The eight teams had to select a quarterback in the first round, and the Michigan Panthers selected Shea Patterson, who played for the University of Michigan Wolverines for his college career. Here are the quarterbacks drafted by each USFL team Tuesday night in Birmingham, Alabama.
A position is designated for each round. For example, teams can only select defensive ends or edge rushers in rounds two, three, and four. Offensive tackles, cornerbacks, and quarterbacks will complete the first day of drafting, which began at 7 p.m. ET and is scheduled to end around 10 p.m. Day two of the draft is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on Wednesday and will continue until all 35 rounds are complete.Rounds 5-7: Offensive tackles
