The 2017 NFL Draft will be the 82nd annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. It is scheduled to be held in Philadelphia from April 27 to 29, returning to the city for the first time since 1961.
In order to be eligible to enter the draft, players must be at least three years removed from high school. The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft was January 16, 2017.
The selection order for the first round is as follows. The selection order for subsequent rounds will follow the order of the first round, except that teams with the same record and same playoff result will rotate among their respective groups (these groups are indicated by the bold gray lines in the table below). Three picks were forfeited – one each in the fourth round, fifth round, and sixth round. Also, 32 additional supplemental picks will be allocated between the ends of round 3 through 7 for a total of 253 picks.
See the rules for determining draft order for more details.
The order of the following picks will depend on the results of the 2016–17 NFL playoffs.
