Vorlage:Infobox NFL Draft The 2016 NFL draft is the 81st annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. As in 2015, the draft is taking place at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.[1] The draft began on Thursday, April 28 with the first round, and will end on Saturday, April 30. The Tennessee Titans, the team with the fewest wins in the NFL for the 2015 season, traded the right to the top pick in the draft to the Los Angeles Rams.
Early entrants
BearbeitenNinety-six underclassmen announced their intention to enter the 2016 NFL draft as underclassmen, which primarily include juniors and redshirt sophomores who are forgoing future years of college eligibility.[2] In order to be eligible to enter the draft, players must be at least 3 years removed from high school. The deadline for underclassmen to declare was January 18, 2016.
