XFL Draft picks 2019: Complete results, rosters, players !!


I didn't see any TE's selected by June Jones' Houston Roughnecks. So that means the R&S, 4 WR set !!! ?
-------------------------------


The best, worst XFL rosters rated by watchability




XFL power rankings 2020
1. Dallas Renegades

Main attraction: Former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is back in action, and he brought offensive coordinator Hal Mumme — the brains behind the "Air Raid" — with him.

Who else? Stoops didn't hesitate to load up on Sooners such as Landry Jones, Jeff Badet, Dmitri Flowers and Frank Alexander on Day 1.

Remember that guy? Cameron Artis-Payne rushed for 1,608 yards and 13 TDs at Auburn in 2014 and was little-used reserve with the Panthers from 2015-18.

Are you making that up? Deontez Alexander, WR, Franklin College

Why would you watch? Stoops, 59, is back on the sidelines. Would he use this experience to go to the FBS or NFL again? If the Renegades are good, then it's a possibility.




XFL power rankings: The best, worst rosters rated 1-8 on entertainment value



The XFL concluded its two-draft on Wednesday (check out the full results here), and we will have to wait until Feb. 8 to see if Vince McMahon has a better product this time around.
Ranking the eight franchises based on their on-field capabilities would be difficult at this point, but we can gauge an interest level for each team simply by looking at the coaching staffs and rosters. When it comes to entertainment value, not all XFL teams were created equal at first glance.

With that in mind, here are our watchability rankings for the XFL franchises heading into the 2020 season.

2. D.C. Defenders..... X-Bear Qb coach - Pep Hamilton will coach this team
Main attraction: Cardale Jones, the Ohio State quarterback who led the Buckeyes to the first College Football Playoff championship.
Who else? Pep Hamilton will coach this team, and Donnel Pumphrey, the San Diego State All-American who rushed for 6,405 yards, is on board. The Defenders drafted Max McCaffrey, too. Florida safety Matt Elam was an open draft selection.
Remember that guy? Scooby Wright, the Arizona linebacker who won the Lombardi Award and finished ninth in the Heisman voting in 2014, is on board in D.C.
Are you making that up? Daryle Barnfield, DT, Brown
Why would you watch? Jones could always throw the deep ball, and Buckeyes fans can always find an excuse to watch football.



3. Tampa Bay Vipers X-Bear HC Marc Trestman is back
Main attraction: Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is back in football, and he will battle for the starting job with Oklahoma State's Taylor Cornelius.

Who else? Marc Trestman is back at it as the coach for the Vipers. He had success in the CFL before his stint with the Bears. Toledo's Alonzo Russell and Michigan's De'Veon Smith had decent college careers. Florida State's Reggie Northrop is a familiar face on defense, which will be led by defensive coordinator Jerry Glanville.

Remember that guy? Quinton Flowers was totaled 11,796 yards of offense as a quarterback at South Florida. He is trying to break in at running back for the Vipers.
Are you making that up? Picasso Nelson, CB, Southern Miss

Why would you watch? Murray might make it interesting in Trestman's offense. Georgia fans will check it out.
