Draft Day Approaches. Check out GRR's 6-Show Pre-Draft Series
The Major League Rugby Draft is set for Thursday night with the first pick being announced some time after 6:30PM ET.
Now, the draft is being announced tomorrow, but the picks are made earlier—this allows Major League Rugby to announce the picks quickly and not spend hours waiting for team to make their choices. (With 39 picks, if teams took an average of five minutes to make a choice the should would still exceed three hours.)
In addition, several deals have been made to trade draft picks, and the league doesn't want last-minute trades to delay it all.
So the draft sequence is this:
(Uodate: Atlanta has confirmed that they are moving to Los Angeles, so when you "Atlanta" know it's actualy going to be LA.)
