Chris Cotter, Ryan Boyle and Paul Carcaterra hosted the draft and analyzed the picks.^[1] This draft featured the first ever draft day trade between Atlas LC and Cannons LC. The University of Maryland set a record for the most players drafted in one draft with six.^[2] By virtue of having the worst record last season, Chrome LC held the number one overall pick.^[3]
