AFBL News: First-Year Player Draft

Promises and mock drafts go up the chimney. To the young rookie, the pressure ends upon his selection, if only for a short interlude before reality sets in. <Oregon:team#75>, <Minnesota:team#5>, <Pennsylvania:team#4>, <Illinois:team#74> and <Ohio:team#79> are the first five teams to pick this year.
