Teams will be drafting from a pool of 450-500 players who have already signed contracts with the USFL. The USFL announced that they would not be disclosing the list of available players beforehand.

Here is the full order for the 2022 USFL Draft:

Day 1 of the draft will be broken down by position: quarterbacks in Round 1, edge rushers and defensive ends in Rounds 2-4, offensive tackles in Rounds 5-7, cornerbacks in Rounds 8-11 and back to quarterbacks in Round 12.

A modified snake format will be used between rounds on Day 1, meaning that teams will have two No. 1 picks at each position. Teams will have two minutes to make selections on Day 1.

Day 2 will get underway on Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET and follow a similar format to Day 1. From Rounds 13-23, teams will have 90 seconds per pick, and the positional order will be wide receivers in Rounds 13-17, safeties in Rounds 18-19, center in Round 20, inside linebacker in Round 21, and guards in Rounds 22-23.
