The USFL player allocation process was held in multiple phases, separated by position groups. The league used a "snake" format in each phase, in which the draft order reversed with each round. The draft order was shuffled for each phase as predetermined through lotteries. A draft pool of 450–500 players were eligible to be picked by signing contracts before the draft. The structure of the draft was as follows:[1]
