The Alliance of American Football divvied up the 32 quarterbacks that will play in their league during a quarterback draft held Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

The AAF has structured itself laregly in a geographically-oriented approach by trying to assign players to teams in the vicinity of where they played their college football. However, at a position as important as quarterback, the approach needed a little tweaking. In the first round of the draft, teams could elect to select a quarterback to head their team or protect a quarterback that had already been assigned to their team. The first round was evenly split with four teams choosing to protect a player and four teams choosing to pick a player.

The San Diego Fleet (Josh Johnson), Atlanta Legends (Aaron Murray), Memphis Express (Troy Cook) and San Antonio Commanders (Dustin Vaughn) elected to protect players from their region. The Birmingham Iron (Luis Perez), Arizona Hotshots (Trevor Knight), Orlando Apollos (Garrett Gilbert) and Salt Lake Stallions (Josh Woodrum) elected to pick their quarterbacks from the league pool.

The drafted lasted four rounds with the final three rounds going in a traditional format. Christian Hackenberg went to Memphis in the second round. Scott Tolizen went to Birmingham in the third round, and Zach Mettenberger went to Memphis in the fourth round.
