2008 AAFL Draft

The 2008 All American Football League Draft took place in Atlanta, Georgia on January 26, 2008. It was used to stock the six teams that were to play the league's 2008 season, which was ultimately canceled. The draft was effectively voided when the league announced it would pick new host markets for its inaugural season, which was scheduled for spring 2011.
