What is the NFL Draft?

The National Football League Draft, also called the Player Selection Meeting, is an annual event in which the 32 NFL teams select eligible college football players. It serves as the league’s most common source of player recruitment. The basic design of the draft is that each team is given a position in the draft order in reverse order relative to their record in the previous year, which means the last place team picks first and the first place team picks last. From this position, each team can either select a player or trade their position to another team for other draft positions, a player or players, or any combination thereof. The round is complete when each team has either selected a player or traded its turn to do so.
