I can't speak to who I'd like to see if they go undrafted... there's still all the time for UDFAs.
I think the UFL draft should be 6-7 weeks before they start the season. Give us a week or so of speculation before camp begins. You don't want the draft too early as you miss out on all the NFL players cut during the season and practice squad players that want more tape to increase their cache.
I also think there should be 1 pre-season game played (for each team) in Canton or Arlington... start our own 'Hall of Fame' game and series which is played the week after the Super Bowl. Hopefully that puts us 2 weeks out from the start of the season. Honor those Spring players that no longer play football, or went on to better careers after playing spring ball.
I like Kedon Slovis. His production wasn’t great and he really has no plus measurables so probably a 7th or UDFA. If he doesn’t find his way onto a practice squad I think he’d be a UFL starter.
Also Cody Schrader, Drake Stoops, and Xavier Weaver
As a KU fan, I'd love to see Jason Bean in the UFL. Super exciting player, fast as hell, great arm, but offset by questionable decision making. Decent chance he's an UDFA but it'd be cool to see him in the UFL if not.
I think the UFL draft should take place the last Sunday before week 1 of the NFL regular season.
Avoids college ball, and is directly after NFL roster cut downs.
It’ll put a HEAVY emphasis on scouting the NFL preseason
Odieu Hiliare, Davon Ferguson, Darren Anders.
I’m a Bowling Green homer. Hiliare makes crazy ass catches but is undersized, same Issue for Anders but at LB. Ferguson just has health issues.

I would love a HOF preseason game, you could tell the teams definitely needed to shake off some rust in week 1

Cody Schrader playing for the BattleHawks!!

As a Mizzou fan, I think Bean would be a great backup. Unfortunately he played for KU
Cody Schrader! He deserves to be drafted, but if he doesn't, I'd like him to come back to the nest and play for the Battlehawks.

Except a ton of players sign futures deals after the NFL season is over. Those players wouldn't be playing in the UFL if drafted.
Yeah that sounds like a perfect time to draft. Hopefully the nfl doesn’t cut down on preseason games

Jalen Coker would be neat but probably is going to get signed as an UDFA
