The NFL Draft will take place in Las Vegas on April 28-30, 2022. Following is the process used by clubs to submit their selections and trades to the league. Player Selection: Each club communicates its selection by phone from its Draft room at team headquarters to its representatives on-site in Dallas at Selection Square. The representatives, seated at team tables, then write the name, position, school, and overall selection number of the club’s selection onto an official selection card. For a selection to be made, a completed official selection card is handed to a “runner,” who is stationed at the club’s table while it is on the clock. Upon the “runner’ receiving the selection card, the selection is deemed official and cannot be revoked. Upon receiving the card, the “runner” will hold it high in the air, notifying the league official at the dais that the selection has been made. A league official at the head table will then announce, “Club A has made its selection, Club B is on the clock,” while the clock is simultaneously re-set. A club representative may hand-deliver the selection card to the head table; however, it is far more efficient to hand the card to the “runner,” who will immediately signal to the league official at the dais. Passing: If Club A does not select a player within its time allotment, it is deemed to have passed. A “runner” is also assigned to the table of the club (Club B) that is next in the selection order. If a pass occurs, Club B is permitted to select a player by handing an official selection card to the “runner” at its table. While Club A has passed, it has not forfeited its right to select a player and may re-enter the Draft at any point. If Club A hands an official selection card to the “runner” who has remained at its table before Club B makes a selection, Club A’s selection is valid. League officials at the head table will watch both tables in such a situation to determine which selection is made first, and the decision of the league officials is final. If a club representative decides to walk the selection card to the head table, the fact that the representative reaches the head table with a selection card before the arrival of the “runner” is immaterial, since the selection of the club represented by the “runner” was valid as soon as the “runner” received the club’s selection card. Trading: Trade information is communicated to the NFL Player Personnel department by telephone. If the trade involves the selection choice that is on the clock, no selection by the club acquiring the choice is valid until the trade has been approved. If the trade is not approved within the allotted time, and no selection has been made, the team trading the selection choice will be deemed to have passed. When a trade has been approved, the club acquiring the choice shall have the time remaining on the clock, if any, to make its selection. If no time remains on the clock, the rules related to passing apply. When league officials at the head table learn that a trade is in progress, a “runner” will be sent to the table of the club acquiring the selection choice.
 1 / 28 28. Jadeveon Clowney, DE, Houston Texans Year: 2014 Clowney has ample time to redeem himself, but the early returns are less than promising. Clowney already has a dubious place among defensive players taken No. 1 overall in the NFL draft. Of the nine defensive players selected No. 1 since sacks became an official statistic, Clowney is the only one who failed to record a sack as a rookie. Aaron M. Sprecher/NFL
2 / 28 27. Walt Patulski, DE, Buffalo Bills Year: 1972 Patulski is the last Notre Dame player to be selected No. 1 overall in the NFL draft. Patulski is among the greatest disappointments among all No. 1 overall picks, lasting just four seasons with the Bills. Vernon Biever/Associated Press
3 / 28 26. Eric Fisher, OT, Kansas City Chiefs Year: 2013 The 2013 draft class is on the fast track toward being recognized as one of the worst in NFL history. Fisher, and Joeckel, have yet to establish themselves as dependable starting offensive tackles. Fisher has started all but three games in his career, but is entering a critical season as he tries to develop into the elite offensive tackle Kansas City envisioned when he was taken No. 1.

4 / 28 25. Steve Emtman, DE, Indianapolis Colts Year: 1992 This was the worst overall draft class of the past quarter century. Emtman's situation was an unfortunate one, as his brief NFL career was riddled by devastating knee injuries suffered on the Hoosier Dome's Astroturf. Emtman started just 19 games over six seasons and never lived up to the promise that made him the top pick. Barry Sweet/Associated Press
5 / 28 24. Aundray Bruce, LB, Atlanta Falcons Year: 1988 Bruce did last 11 seasons in the NFL, but mostly in a reserve role (he started just 41 games ... 29 came in his first two seasons). In an attempt to siphon more production out of Bruce, the Falcons experimented with a switch to tight end. He caught one pass for 11 yards. NFL Photos
6 / 28 23. Ki-Jana Carter, RB, Cincinnati Bengals Year: 1995 The Bengals acquired the No. 1 overall selection from the expansion Carolina Panthers. On his third carry in the first preseason game of 1995, Carter tore a knee ligament and was forced to miss his entire rookie season. That unfortunate event set the tone for an injury-ravaged career. In seven seasons, Carter started 14 games and rushed for 1,144 yards and 20 touchdowns. Tom DiPace/Associated Press
7 / 28 22. Kenneth Sims, DE, New England Patriots Year: 1982 Sims played eight seasons in the NFL, all for the Patriots, and was a member of the team that advanced to Super Bowl XX. However, with just 17 sacks over those eight years, Sims never lived up to the immense expectations that come with being the No. 1 overall selection in a draft. Mike Kullen/Associated Press
8 / 28 21. Courtney Brown, DE, Cleveland Browns Year: 2000 This is a painful draft to recall for Browns fans. Sixteen selections before the Patriots took Brady, the Browns drafted a quarterback. That player was Spergon Wynn, who played just two NFL seasons. Brown was a dominant college player, and seemed to be a slam dunk selection for the Browns, who drafted the player they hoped to be the team's quarterback for many years at No. 1 the year earlier -- Tim Couch. Brown started all 16 games as a rookie, but was an on-again, off-again injury risk the rest of his six-year career. Ed Betz/Associated Press
9 / 28 20. Tom Cousineau, LB, Buffalo Bills Year: 1979 Cousineau never played for the Bills, opting instead to play for the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes. When Cousineau decided to return to the NFL, the Bills traded him to the Cleveland Browns. An interesting side note to Cousineau's career is his place in the draft. The Bills picked Cousineau with a selection acquired from the 49ers in a trade for O.J. Simpson. The Bills then drafted Jim Kelly with the pick acquired from the Browns in 1982.

10 / 28 19. Dan Wilkinson, DT, Cincinnati Bengals Year: 1994 Leading up to the 1994 draft, "Big Daddy" Wilkinson drew comparisons to Reggie White and Cortez Kennedy -- two current Hall of Fame members. While Wilkinson didn't live up to that monumental hype, he did have a productive career that spanned 12 seasons with four different teams. He posted eight sacks in 1995, then matched that career-high during a 1999 season spent with the Washington Redskins that also included an 88-yard pick six. Tom Hulman/Associated Press
11 / 28 18. John Matuszak, DE, Houston Oilers Year: 1973 Matuszak was one of many renegade outcasts the Raiders welcomed with open arms back in the day, and he was a contributor for the Raiders in victories in Super Bowls XI and XV. Matuszak's football career is often a side note to the other aspects of his life, notably his acting career. He is frequently recalled as Sloth from "The Goonies." Associated Press
12 / 28 17. Ricky Bell, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Year: 1977 Bell posted a career-high 1,263 yards and seven touchdowns rushing in 1979, the first playoff season in Buccaneers history. With Lee Roy Selmon on defense (the No. 1 overall pick in 1976) and Bell, the Buccaneers had hoped to have major contributors on both sides of the ball for years to come. Instead, Bell's career was tragically cut short. Bell passed away in 1984 due to cardiac arrest caused by illnesses from which he suffered for two years. Associated Press
13 / 28 16. Jake Long, OT, Miami Dolphins Year: 2008 Long was a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first four NFL seasons. In the 2013 offseason, Long signed a lucrative contract with the St. Louis Rams, but lasted just two seasons with the team. Long suffered a season-ending ACL tear midway through the 2014 season. In March, he was released by the Rams in order to free up salary-cap room and has yet to latch on with another NFL team. Ric Tapia/NFL
14 / 28 15. Bo Jackson, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Year: 1986 Controversy surrounded the Buccaneers' selection of Jackson, who opted to play baseball for the Kansas City Royals rather than sign with Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers forfeited his draft rights for the 1987 draft, and the Los Angeles Raiders used a seventh-round selection (No. 183 overall) to take Jackson. In his baseball offseason "hobby," Jackson was a dominant running back and became a Tecmo Super Bowl legend. Unfortunately, a hip injury cut short Jackson's promising NFL career. NFL Photos
15 / 28 14. Bubba Smith, DE, Baltimore Colts Year: 1967 Smith was a feared pass rusher -- earning two Pro Bowl nods in a brief NFL career -- but is almost as famous for his acting career as he is for his work on the football field. Smith's most memorable acting role was playing Moses Hightower in the "Police Academy" series. As a player, Smith appeared in two Super Bowls for the Baltimore Colts, including the team's Super Bowl V triumph. David Durochik/Associated Press
16 / 28 13. George Rogers, RB, New Orleans Saints Year: 1981 Coming off his Heisman-winning season in 1980, Rogers led the NFL in rushing yards (1,674) in his rookie season. Rogers was the first of five Heisman winners drafted by the Saints (Danny Wuerffel, 1997; Ricky Williams, 1999; Reggie Bush, 2006; and Mark Ingram, 2011). Rogers was a member of the Redskins' Super Bowl XXII-winning team, but injuries kept him from starting. He was replaced by Timmy Smith, who famously went on to become one of the NFL's all-time one-hit wonders. Al Messerschmidt/Associated Press
17 / 28 12. Russell Maryland, DT, Dallas Cowboys Year: 1991 Maryland spent 10 seasons in the NFL, and was a vital contributor to the Cowboys when they won three Super Bowls. David Phillip/Associated Press
18 / 28 11. Billy Sims, RB, Detroit Lions Year: 1980 Sims' promising career was cut short in his fifth NFL season when he suffered a major knee injury in 1984. Before then, he posted three 1,000-yard rushing seasons and was a three-time Pro Bowl selection, leading the Lions to two consecutive playoff appearances (1982-83) in the process. NFL Photos
19 / 28 10. Irving Fryar, WR, New England Patriots Year: 1984 With the presence of the USFL (and that league signing many outgoing college football stars), this was not an impressive draft crop. Fryar went No. 1, becoming the first wide receiver ever to be taken in that spot. Fryar was a member of the Patriots when the team advanced to Super Bowl XX, and was a five-time Pro Bowl pick (four of those five came with teams other than the Patriots). Tom Croke/Associated Press
20 / 28 9. Keyshawn Johnson, WR, New York Jets Year: 1996 Johnson enjoyed a productive NFL career that spanned 11 seasons with four different teams. He helped the Jets bounce back from a 1-15 disaster of a season in 1996 to advance to the AFC championship game just two seasons later. In 2002, Johnson was a member of the Buccaneers' Super Bowl XXXVII-winning team. Johnson posted four 1,000-yard receiving seasons and was a three-time Pro Bowl selection. Greg Trott/Associated Press
21 / 28 8. Ed "Too Tall" Jones, DE, Dallas Cowboys Year: 1974 Jones was a vital piece of Dallas' "Doomsday Defense," earning three Pro Bowl selections. He was a member of the Cowboys' Super Bowl XII-winning team. In all, Jones played in three Super Bowls with the Cowboys. Aside from a brief hiatus to pursue a boxing career, Jones never missed a game, playing in 232 games during a 15-year NFL career. Associated Press
22 / 28 7. Mario Williams, DE, Houston Texans Year: 2006 The Texans took some heat for selecting Williams over Bush and in-state college star Vince Young. However, Williams developed into one of the NFL's top edge rushers, having recorded 91 sacks through nine seasons and earning four Pro Bowl nods. Scott Boehm/Associated Press
23 / 28 6. Ron Yary, OT, Minnesota Vikings Year: 1968 Yary went on to a decorated career with the Vikings, earning seven Pro Bowl selections and was a member of all four Minnesota teams to reach the Super Bowl. After Yary's selection at No. 1 overall, it would be another 29 years before another offensive lineman would be selected No. 1 overall (Orlando Pace by the St. Louis Rams in 1997). NFL Photos
24 / 28 5. Orlando Pace, OT, St. Louis Rams David Durochik/Associated Press
25 / 28 4. Lee Roy Selmon, DE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Year: 1976 Selmon was the first draft choice in Buccaneers history, and was vital to the franchise as it rose from 0-26 laughingstock to playoff team in its fourth season of existence. During the Buccaneers' 1979 season -- in which the team reached the NFC Championship Game -- Selmon earned NFL Defensive Lineman of the Year honors. Al Messerschmidt/Associated Press
26 / 28 3. Earl Campbell, RB, Houston Oilers Year: 1978 The powerful Campbell was the frontman for the "Luv Ya Blue" Oilers of the late 1970s. Campbell led the NFL in rushing in his first three seasons (including a career-high 1,934 yards in 1980), was a five-time Pro Bowl selection and 1991 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Ed Kolenovsky/Associated Press
27 / 28 2. O.J. Simpson, RB, Buffalo Bills Year: 1969 No player in NFL history generates more conflicting feelings than Simpson. The events of 1994 have overshadowed what was a brilliant NFL career. He was the first to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season (doing so in a 14-game schedule), and retired as the NFL's second-leading rusher of all time (behind only the incomparable Jim Brown). NFL Photos
28 / 28 1. Bruce Smith, DE, Buffalo Bills Year: 1985 Smith spent 19 seasons in the NFL -- 15 with the Bills -- and registered a league-record 200 sacks. Smith was a two-time defensive player of the year and an 11-time Pro Bowl pick. His work on defense helped the Bills reach four consecutive Super Bowls. Paul Spinelli/Associated Press |
