The National Football League Draft is an annual sports draft in which the National Football League (NFL) teams select eligible college football players and other first-time eligible players. The basic design of the draft is that each team is given a position in the drafting order in reverse order relative to its record in the previous year, which means that the last place team picks first. 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. Generally within each round, teams are free to make their selections according to their own preferences as long as they do not violate NFL rules or exceed their allotted time limit.
The 2016 NFL Draft was held from April 28–30 at the Auditorium Theatre and Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. It was the first draft to be held outside of New York City since 1964 and marked the return of the event to Chicago after a 51-year absence.
