National Pro Fastpitch held two drafts before the 2016 season:
First, the 2016 NPF Expansion Draft was held for the expansion Scrap Yard Dawgs to acquire players for their inaugural roster from existing NPF teams.
With the arrival of the expansion Dallas Charge, NPF created a process for expansion teams to acquire talent: choosing either one player via a 'Market Choice Selection' (a college player either who is from the expansion team's state or who played for a college in the expansion team's state) or five players from an Expansion Draft. The Dawgs opted for the expansion draft.[1]
Secondly, the 2016 NPF College Draft will be the eleventh annual collegiate draft for NPF.
Expansion Draft
On November 30, 2015, it was announced that the following players were selected by the Scrap Yard Dawgs in the 2015 NPF Expansion Draft:

| Megan Low | Akron Racers |
| Sami Garcia | Pennsylvania Rebellion |
| Amber Freeman | USSSA Florida Pride |

College Draft
Drafting an athlete gives an NPF affiliate team the rights to that athlete for two full seasons.
