Before each position was selected, teams drew lots to determine the selection order. Though professional teams used dedicated offensive and defensive units, the league did not want to go 22 rounds before starting unrestricted drafting. Territorial draft To begin the draft, each of the eight teams were awarded a territorial or "bonus" selection to guarantee a local flavor that would boost the financial prospects of each franchise. These regional picks did not follow a specific order. Rather, they were mutually agreed upon by the other teams.The AFL's first draft https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2009/10/news-the-afl-s-first-draft/ October 28, 2009 July 7, 2025 August 3, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220803001231/https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2009/10/news-the-afl-s-first-draft/ bot: unknown AFL team Player Position CollegeNotes Boston Patriots Gerhard Schwedes Halfback Syracuse Buffalo Bills Richie Lucas Quarterback Penn State 1959 Maxwell Award winner.

The names for each position were then placed in a hat and randomly drawn by each team. This process repeated until each franchise had made 33 selections, or three full offensive units. Those selections were considered as the first round of the draft. †= AFL All-StarAll-Star Players are identified as an All-Star if they were selected for the All-Star team at any time in their career. = Pro BowlerPro Bowler Players are identified as a Pro Bowler if they were selected for the Pro-Bowl at any time in their career. = Hall of Famer Boston Patriots Player Position CollegeNotes Buddy Allen Halfback Utah State Did not sign.

Three days later, it was announced that the Oakland Raiders had joined the AFL as the eighth franchise, and then inherited the draft picks of Minneapolis. The problem was that several of the players selected by Minneapolis were signed by NFL, CFL and AFL teams. To solve this issue the AFL held an allocation draft. Each of the other seven AFL teams froze 11 players on their rosters. The remaining players were then eligible for selection by Oakland, which then stockpiled a total of 24 players. The number of players originally drafted for the eighth AFL franchise, but who were signed by other teams, combined with the process of the allocation draft, virtually guaranteed that the Raiders would have the worst team in the AFL in its first year. In spite of this, they managed to sign future stars in center Jim Otto and guard Wayne Hawkins, two men who played the entire ten years of the American Football League. † = All-Star Player Position CollegeAFL team coming fromNotes Ramon Armstrong Tackle TCU New York Titans George Blanch Halfback Texas Houston Oilers Joe Cannavino Defensive back Ohio State Buffalo Bills Luther Carr Tackle Washington Los Angeles Chargers Carmen Cavalli Defensive end Richmond Buffalo Bills Donnis Churchwell Guard Ole Miss Houston Oilers Played in the NFL in 1959.
