What is the NFL Draft?
The National Football League Draft, also called the NFL Draft or the Player Selection Meeting, is an annual event in which the National Football League (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 drafting order in reverse chronological order with respect to its record in the previous year, which means that the last place team from the previous year would pick first. From this position, each team then selects a player. The drafting order is repeated until each team has selected a total of 32 players (Forbes).
