2021 1.32
RG James Bates 73/73☆Finally we get to the XFL III Champions, Atlanta. Owner Chrosbronext and his staff took time off from celebrating to make offensive lineman James Bates the last pick of the first round. The Baylor lineman can play anywhere on the line with his best positions being RG and RT. With the Atlanta offensive line being set, Bates probably will slot in as backup depth at guard. Solid pick.

DT Forrest Rapp 38/89☆Vol 98
6' 5"
310 lbs
Bowling Green
This is a giant of a man who possesses incredible speed and quickness for a man his size. Despite coming out of a small school and being somewhat of a project, his floor seems good enough with an incredible upside if he develops in camp.
Grade A

2031 1.3
LDE Robert Ware 34/89☆6' 3" 277 lbs

2032 1.7
WR James Ungar 35/87☆Vol 46
6' 0" 194 lbs

2033 1.10
QB Samual Edwards 28/78☆6' 1" 208 lbs
Florida State
Vol 20
It took until the 10th overall pick but our 1st QB has come off the board. Atlanta needs a francise quarterback and by most scouts ratings, they may have found him in Edwards. He is a pure pocket passer with no speed but has an ability to move in the pocket. He doesn't have elite accuracy or arm strength but scouts gush about his vision and ability to look off defenders. He is considered a safe pick since he comes from a big program and many believe he will excel if he is protected and has playmakers around him.
Grade A
He has played 7 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 5 year/84.8 million dollar contract extension in 2036 before he ultimately retired after the 2044 season. He played 100 games including 75 starts where he had 11,321 passing yards, 37 TD passes, 94 interceptions and a 55.88 QBR.
2034 1.4
RB William Stokes 37/90☆5' 11" 216 lbs
California
Atlanta takes Stokes who set records rushing at California. Scouts rank him as the best true running back in the draft. He lacks elite speed or power but his ball carry and pass catching abilities make him a feature back. Some questions remain about how he will transition to the XFL but he has a chance to make an impact.
Grade A-
He played 4 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 5 year/62.3 million dollar contract at the end of 2037 before reworking a 6 year/35.2 million dollar contract in 2038 before being trade to Philadelphia in 2038.

2035 1.6
SS Dominick Marsh 39/86☆5' 11" 215 lbs
Brigham Young
The first defensive back goes #6 overall to Atlanta. The team had one safety on the roster before this selection which means Marsh should start at SS on day 1 opposite 4th year FS Joyce. Now the team needs to add cornerbacks to create a dominant secondary.
Grade A
He played 3 seasons with Atlanta before being traded to Indiana in 2038 where he signed a 6 year/23.6 million dollar contract extension to remain with Indiana. In 2041 he was traded again from Indiana to Buffalo. He became a free agent in 2044 where he signed a 4 year/10.3 million dollar contract with Providence only to retire after the 2044 season.

2036 1.5
CB Tom Smith 42/78☆6' 0" 205 lbs
Ohio State
The 2nd Buckeye to go in the top 5 picks was a little bit of a surprise since most scouts had Garry Wiese as the best DB left on the board. Scouts love Smith's quickness and all around coverage skills but he lacks the high-end speed to cover some of the faster WRs in the XFL. Atlanta definitely needed to address their secondary especially cornerback where they have just 2 CBs now after drafting Smith. Atlanta had the 26th ranked pass defense and 29th ranked defense overall.
Grade A-
He played parts of 3 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/84.7 million dollar contract extension in 2037 but was traded to Providence prior to week 2 of the 2038 season. He was traded again in 2041 from Providence to Philadelphia where he signed a 5 year/58.1 million dollar contract. In 2044 he was traded for a third time to Orlando where he signed a 5 year/86.5 million dollar contract in 2045 then he retired after the 2046 season. He played 175 games including 113 starts where he had 784 tackles, 8 forced fumble, 177 knockdowns, 28 interceptions and a 53.5 catch allowed percentage on 765 passes defended.

2036 1.23
MLB Alex Appleton 35/75☆6' 1" 246
Appalachian State
Atlanta takes a gamble on this MLB from a small school and hope his well rounded attributes translate to the XFL. He has elite skills all around in college except his speed and quickness which is below average. Atlanta has used both 1st round picks on defense as the once proud francise tries to pull itself out of a 7 year tailspin.
Grade C
He played 2 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 5 year/86.5 million dollar contract extension in 2037 before being traded to LA in 2038. He signed a 5 year/89.4 million dollar contract with Los Angeles in 2041 before being released in 2045.

2038 1.1
RG Anthony Dixon 35/92☆6' 2" 326 lbs
San Jose State
Atlanta wasted no time in selecting the best all around offensive lineman in the draft. Dixon played on the interior line in college and was the 2037 Outland trophy winner but scouts see him moving to RT in the XFL where his fantastic combination of size, strength, speed and quickness make him an ideal candidate to move to tackle.
Grade A+
He played 13 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/52.4 million dollar contract extension in 2041 followed by a 6 year/64.2 million dollar contract extension in 2046.

2039 1.1
WR Terrance McConkey 37/89☆6' 1" 187 lbs
Millersville
The consensus #1 overall pick goes first. Despite playing division II football, this Biletnikoff award winner has world class speed, exceptional IQ and elite pass catching potential including route running and fighting for contested catches.
Grade A+

Bouldin won the William V. Campbell Trophy and was the runner up for the John Mackey award as the 2nd best tightend in college football. This is Atlantas 2nd of 4 1st round picks as they try to rebuilt this once proud francise. They have won just 1 game in the past 2 seasons but they are under new ownership and clearly have a plan. With the additions of McConkey and Bouldin, they should serious improve a passing offense which finished 26th last season.
Grade A+
He played 8 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/38.6 million dollar contract in 2042 before being traded to Zehlendorf in 2047. He became a free agent in 2048 where he signed a 5 year/25.0 million dollar contract with Los Angeles. He signed a 4 year/82.5 million dollar contract extension with Los Angeles after the 2049 season. He played 182 games including 81 starts where he had 439 receptions, 4,826 yards receiving and 32 TD receptions. He helped Atlanta win 6 XFL Titles from 2041-2046.
2039 1.23
DT James Grant 26/82☆6' 1" 301 lbs
Illinois
Atlanta uses their 3rd of 4 1st round selections to take who the Mock Draft said they would at 27th in DT Grant. He has the size and strength to man the nose position with surprising quickness for a man his size. Atlanta's defense ranked 32nd last season and they only had 11 defensive players on the roster entering the draft so Grant was clearly gonna be a starter his rookie season.
Grade A
He played 12 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/58.8 million dollar contract extension in 2042 followed by a 6 year/79.8 million dollar contract extension in 2047. He played 183 games including 164 starts where he had 220 tackles, 53 sacks, 48 hurries and 3 forced fumbles. He made the 2041 ALLPRO team plus helped Atlanta win 8 XFL Titles from 2041-2048.
2039 1.27
RT Williams Jordon 30/89☆6' 1" 326 lbs
California
Atlanta's 4th selection of the 1st round was this offensive linemen whose scout fell prior to the draft based on concerns about his work ethic. He has the size and strength plus all the potential in the world but if he can't turn that potential into reality, his value would plummet. Taking him at 27th, when he has top 15 talent seems like a good gamble which could pay huge dividends.
Grade A
He played 4 seasons with Atlanta during his 4 year rookie contract before he became a free agent in 2043 where he found no suitors and he eventually retired after the 2046 season. He played 41 games including 18 starts where he allowed 16 sacks during 881 pass blocks and 54 tackles during 674 run blocks while he committed 6 penalties. He helped Atlanta win the 2041 & 2042 XFL Titles.
2040 1.6
WR Richard Morillo 33/855' 10" 215 lbs
Jackson State
Morillo was considered the WR with the biggest upside in the draft. While he isn't as polished as WR Hobbs, he does have elite speed and despite his size, he is one of the best 50/50 ball catchers in the draft. Atlanta is in the midst of a rebuild and this playmaker is a solid step towards getting the francise back to the glory years.
Grade A+
He played 9 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/67.8 million dollar contract extension in 2043 before becoming a free agent in 2049 where he signed a 3 year/116.3 million dollar contract with Indiana. He played 172 games including 146 starts where he had 783 receptions, 10,219 yards receiving (10th Alltime) and 85 TD receptions (10th Alltime). In 2047 he made the ALLPRO team plus he was named league MVP. He helped Atlanta win 8 XFL Titles from 2041-2048.
2040 1.19
CB Hiram Lund 25/686' 0" 234 lbs
Boston College
Lund was a college linebacker with elite speed who Atlanta plans on converting to CB with the hopes he increases his speed and can play in the secondary or come down in the box as an undersized backer. He has a real chance to become a defensive playmaker and hopes are his coverage skills improve in camp.
Grade A
He played 9 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/21.3 million dollar contract extension in 2043 before becoming a free agent in 2049 where he signed a 3 year/68.5 million dollar contract with Dakota. He played 176 games including 119 starts where he had 577 tackles, 16 sacks, 29 hurries, 6 forced fumbles, 85 knockdowns, 4 interceptions and a 50.7 catch allowed percentage on 645 passes defended. He helped Atlanta win 8 XFL Titles from 2041-2048.
2041 1.1
MLB Kevin Tefft 34/915' 11" 248 lbs
Illinois
Atlanta made the playoffs last season for the 1st time in 12 seasons and they have 4 picks in the first 12 of the 1st round. They use the 1st pick to select a cant miss MLB to captain their defense. Tefft is a complete backer who can stuff the run plus has the speed and cover skills to stay on the field on 3rd down.
Grade A+
He played 10 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/52.9 million dollar contract extension in 2044 and a 6 year/103.6 million dollar contract extension in 2049. He played 151 games including 143 starts where he had 769 tackles, 35 sacks, 27 hurries, 8 forced fumbles, 169 knockdowns, 60 interceptions (6th Alltime), 3 pick 6's (10th Alltime) and a 43.4 catch allowed percentage on 820 passes defended. He made the ALLPRO team in 2042, 2043, 2045, 2046, 2047 & 2048. He helped Atlanta win 8 XFL Titles from 2041-2048.
2041 1.6
CB Todd Smith 41/796' 1" 203lbs
Ohio State
Despite having the number 2 defense last season, Atlanta uses its 2nd of 4 1st round picks on another defensive player. This Buckeye is a solid cover corner but scouts see his high end potential as just short of elite. A safe pick with a lower ceiling but higher floor where it comes to potential.
Grade A
He played 10 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/36.3 million dollar contract extension in 2044 and a 4 year/64.5 million dollar contract extension in 2049. He played 156 games including 131 starts where he had 517 tackles, 4 forced fumbles, 257 knockdowns, 17 interceptions (6th Alltime), 1 pick 6 (10th Alltime) and a 41.9 catch allowed percentage on 852 passes defended. He was named an ALLPRO in 2042 and helped Atlanta win 8 XFL Titles from 2041-2048.
2041 1.8
RB Larry Bello 30/795' 11" 251 lbs
UCLA
Atlanta finally addresses the offense with this giant back who scouts see as a bruising FB or large RB. Bello has a chance to be great and alot will depend on what weight he ends up at and what speed he reaches based on that weight. Regardless, his size and skills make him versatile where he could play anywhere from TE, FB, RB or WR based on what the team needs.
Grade A+
He played 10 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/46.6 million dollar contract extension in 2044 and a 4 year/78.1 million dollar contract extension in 2049. He played 154 games including 56 starts where he had 11,247 yards rushing (3rd Alltime), 67 rushing TDs (2nd Alltime), 327 receptions, 2,759 yards receiving and 17 TD receptions. He was named to the ALLPRO team in 2041 & 2042 and helped Atlanta win 8 XFL Titles from 2041-2048.
2041 1.12
WLB Daniel Ross 27/735' 9" 215lbs
Colorodo State
Atlanta's 3rd defensive pick out of their 4 1st round selections is an undersized LB out of Colorodo State. Scouts see him transitioning to safety in the XFL where he can use his elite speed to make plays for Atlanta's defense.
Grade A
He played 9 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/43.6 million dollar contract extension in 2044 and a 5 year/134.4 million dollar contract extension in 2049 before he abruptly retired after the 2049 season. He played 140 games including 131 starts where he had 758 tackles, 8 sacks, 32 hurries, 6 forced fumbles, 114 knockdowns, 21 interceptions, 4 pick 6's (4th Alltime) and a 52.4 catch allowed percentage on 678 passes defended. He helped Atlanta win 8 XFL Titles from 2041-2048.
2042 1.32
CB David Bakken 26/695' 11" 218 lbs
Adams State
The defending Champs dig deep with their scouting department to find what they hope is a hidden gem from obscure division II program, Adams State. He wasn't even invites to the combine but scouts say he has elite speed. His is a big CB at 218 pounds but time will tell if he can transition to the XFL or not. If he does make the roster, I can already see the "Bend it like Bakken" t-shirts being sold at the stadium.
Grade A-
He played 9 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/12.6 million dollar contract extension in 2045 before being released prior to week 9 of the 2050 season where he was claimed off waivers by Cincinnati. He played 135 games including 42 starts where he had 300 tackles, 41 sacks, 57 hurries, 5 forced fumbles, 63 knockdowns, 10 interceptions and a 42.4 catch allowed percentage on 236 passes defended. He helped Atlanta win 7 XFL Titles from 2042-2048.

Atlanta ended up making 5 connected trades as every time they traded for someone, they would flip them for someone else only to flip them too. It wound up being Atlanta getting 6 players who combined to play 17 seasons including 13 seasons of starts plus 8 XFL Titles won and 4 players remain active. Atlanta traded away 16 players who played 53 seasons including 26 seasons of starts plus 1 ALLPRO, 1 Conference Championship and 1 XFL Title while 10 players remain active. Despite the Titles won by Atlanta they lose this trade based on pure volumn.
2045 1.32
WR Billy Gonzales 36/756' 0" 207 lbs
Florida
The 4× defending Champs select a WR out of Florida. He has great speed along with average receiving skills plus has the added component of running the ball in his tool box. Scouts are sure he will succeed with the team despite rumors circulating the XFL that he is a womanizer, hates children and randomly beats dogs for fun. He is probably a racist as well but Atlanta only cares about winning so they will draft anyone.
Grade B+
He was on Atlanta's roster for 4 seasons on his 4 year rookie contract before he would eventually sign a 6 year/29.3 million dollar contract with Memphis in 2049. He played 32 games but only 3 starts where he had 20 receptions for 85 yards receiving. He was on the roster when Atlanta won 4 XFL Titles from 2045-2048.
2046 1.13
LDE Shannon Shockley 22/616' 3" 276 lbs
Purdue
Immediately after Shockley got the phone call from Atlanta owmer/GM Bruno, he began a strict diet where he will lose some weight and transition to play LB in the XFL. Once he loses enough weight, he will approach elite speed coupled with elite level cover skills. If he drops enough weight, he may eventually move to the secondary where he could play safety and have the size & speed to destroy WRs. It's wonderful that the 5× defending Champs land such an awesome player who will probably help them continue their dominance for another 5 seasons. Oh joy!!!
Grade A++
He played 5 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/55.5 million dollar contract extension in 2049. He played 77 games including 57 starts where he had 304 tackles, 7 sacks, 59 hurries, 3 forced fumbles, 61 knockdowns, 6 interceptions and a 53.8 catch allowed percentage on 379 passes defended. He helped Atlanta win 3 XFL Titles from 2046-2048.
2046 1.32
WR Marvin White 32/746' 0" 177 lbs
Brigham Young
Atlanta uses their 2nd 1st round pick to add another offensive playmaker to their 5× defending Champion roster. If Atlanta has any weakness it definatley their pass offense which ranked just 14th last season. In fact, they have finished outside the top 10 in passing offense in 4 of the past 5 seasons. The question is if QB Michael Ceron who has 5 rings is the issue or is it the WRs that are the issue or is it simply the fact that nobody can stop their #1 rushing attack? For 5 straight seasons, Atlanta has posted the leagues #1 ranked rushing offense and they haven't needed to rely on their passing offense. So Atlanta selects WR White who is an undersized WR with top end speed. Despite his small stature, scouts love his ability to run the ball on occasion which Atlanta will surely take advantage of while also using him in the passing game. Atlanta also needs some youth as 24 players on the current roster are entering at least their 8th season & 36 players are entering at least their 7 season in the league.
Grade A
He played 5 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/51.5 million dollar contract extension in 2049. He played 77 games including 47 starts where he had 277 receptions, 3,498 yards receiving and 19 TD receptions. He helped Atlanta win 3 XFL Titles from 2046-2048.
2047 no pick2047 2.16 (C Cecil Stewart), 2047 5.3 (RG Larry Pulley), 2047 1.32 (DT Arthur Keck) and 2047 4.32 (TE Ryan Jacobs) were traded to Carolina for 2048 1.2 (WR John Enriquez) and 2048 7.2 (TE Larry Crook)
2048 1.2 (WR John Enriquez), 2048 7.2 (TE Larry Crook), 2048 2.32 (RB Brian Schulze) and 2048 7.27 (P Christopher Pruitt) were traded to Zehlendorf for CB Dale Wilson, 2048 1.10 (WR Tyler Cruz) and 2050 1.5 (SS Fred Waite)
Traded for:
CB Dale Wilson (3+ starter/XFL Title)
WR Tyler Cruz (3+ starter/XFL Title)
SS Fred Waite (1+ starter)
Traded away:
C Cecil Stewart (4+ backup)
RG Larry Pulley (4+ backup)
DT Arthur Keck (4+ starter)
TE Ryan Jacobs (4+ backup/CC/XFL Title)
WR John Enriquez (3+ starter)
TE Larry Crook (3+ backup)
RB Brian Schulze (3+ backup)
P Christopher Pruitt (cut)
These 2 trades wound up with Atlanta getting 3 players who combined for 7 seasons of starts, 2 XFL Titles and all 3 remain active while they traded away 8 players who combined for 25 seasons including 7 seasons of starts plus 1 CC, 1 XFL Title and 7 players remain active. With 10 of the 11 players still active, a final winner can't be determined but Atlanta is losing based on pure volume.
2048 1.10
WR Tyler Cruz 36/846' 1" 202 lbs
Fordham
Atlanta has won 7 straight XFL Championships yet they are picking 10th overall in the draft? And that's after trading down from 2nd overall to get an additional 1st rounder in the future plus they got a stub DB in the trade. That's a small glimpse into why this francise is so successful. Not only do they have an elite game plan but they are making moves in free agency, the draft and via trades to keep reloading the roster with talent. They add another young playmaker on offense with Cruz at the 10th pick. He has just below elite speed and his receiving skills are all above average. He will ease into his role as he learns from the starters until its his turn to become a starter.
Grade A
He played 3 seasons with Atlanta on his 4 year rookie contract. He played 47 games including 34 starts where he had 143 receptions, 2,100 yards receiving and 19 TD receptions. He helped Atlanta win the 2048 XFL Title.
2048 1.23
WR Craig May 35/775' 11" 201 lbs
Kansas
The 7× defending Champs use their 2nd 1st round pick on yet another WR with near elite speed. They finished last season with the #2 Total offense and have added two more playmakers in the 1st round. 31 teams are targeting the Dominators and they just keep adding depth to an already deep roster.
Grade A
He played 3 seasons with Atlanta on his 4 year rookie contract. He played 44 games including 22 starts where he had 59 receptions, 926 yards receiving and 8 TD receptions. He helped Atlanta win the 2048 XFL Title.
2049 1.4
CB Jack Morrison 32/795' 10" 176 lbs
Eastern Kentucky
The 8× defending Champs drafted thus undersized defensive back out of a smaller college as they look to retool an aging roster. He has elite speed and solid cover skills but scouts are concerned about his size holding up in the XFL. He will need to bulk up from his 176 pounds which could impact his speed. With that being said, nobody can second guess Atlanta after nearly a decade of dominance in the draft.
Grade A
He played 2 seasons with Atlanta after signing a 6 year/57.6 million dollar contract extension in 2050. He played 29 games including 13 starts where he had 92 tackles, 30 knockdowns and 2 interceptions.
2049 1.9
CB Aaron Hodge 30/805' 10" 209 lbs
Notre Dame
Atlanta has won 8 straight Titles yet still have 2 picks in the top 10 of the 1st round. That about sums up their dominance in the last decade. The additions of Hodge & Morrison helps completely rebuild their secondary very quickly as they look for their 9th straight Title.
Grade A
He played 2 seasons with Atlanta on his 4 year rookie contract. He played 31 games including 26 starts where he had 141 tackles, 45 knockdowns and 5 interceptions.
2050 1.5
SS Fred Waite 36/886' 1" 202 lbs
Mississippi State
Atlanta's run of 8 straight XFL Titles came to an end last season and they will look to improve their defense with thus DB out of Mississippi State. While Harris who went #4 was considered the top DB in the draft, Waite was considered 1b instead of just 2nd overall. He is a bit slower then Harris but his overall coverage skills may be a hair better overall which should make him a potential elite starter in the XFL.
Grade A+
2050 1.21
MLB Nathanial Sapp 39/776' 0" 244 lbs
South Carolina
Atlanta uses their 2nd pick of the 1st round to also address their defense with a LB after taking a DB with the 5th overall pick. Sapp has above average speed for the position along with a complete LB skillset that grades as above average. He was suspended in college for using PEDs his junior season but bounced back in his senior season where he preformed clean. Atlanta hopes Sapp learned his lesson and can boom in camp instead of busting or testing dirty again.
Grade A-
2051 1.3
WR Erick Sermon 40/865' 11" 187 lbs
Kansas
After winning 8 straight Titles from 2041-2048, Atlanta missed the postseason for the first time since 2039 last season while being on their 3rd owner in the past 4 seasons. They select the Fred Biletnikoff award winner in WR Sermon. The diminutive WR has elite speed and has the versatility to both be a receiver and a ball carrier. Some off the field issues scared some teams but he stills ends up going 3rd overall to a francise looking to quickly get back into Title contention.
Grade A
2051 1.14
FS Michael Berrin 30/895' 10" 192 lbs
Louisiana-Laffeyette
Atlanta drafted a potential offensive playmaker with the 3rd overall pick so they drafted a potential starting CB with the 14th overall pick. Coleman has a full elite set of coverage skills but his speed isnt elite but still above average. Atlanta had the 6th rank pass defense last season so this pick improves a strength as he joins Wilson, Shockley, Hodge & Waite in what could be one of the best secondaries in the XFL.
Grade A
2052 no pick Atlanta traded 2052 1.21 (RDE Robert Giunta) & 2052 3.21 (WR Martin Flores) to Vegas for WR Stuart Cooper.
