The draft eligibility process consisted of open tryouts in the form of pro-style Combines plus scouting and recruiting analysis, bringing the best players available from around the country.

The 210 players selected in the draft will be assigned to one of the 4 teams. Maintaining a position on a team is based on a combination of individual and team performance through the DFL season. The final game will be the Eagles All-Star Game with the players selected from the remaining 78 players who have made it through the cuts. The Eagles All-Star Game will allow the nation and professional scouts to access the talent and perhaps receive invitations to camps and workouts.

The DFL is a new league, with an old idea. The DFL gives players with talent and determination the training and opportunity to prove themselves. The DFL was created to provide a chance for these individuals who may have been overlooked, believed not ready for the pros, or free agents who were injured and now need to prove their readiness and ability to make it at the next level. 210 players will be drafted for the inaugural DFL Season. Four weekends of games will culminate in the first DFL All-Star Game. The DFL All-Star Game will allow the nation and professional scouts to access the talent, and perhaps make invitations to camps and workouts.
