The
2010 NFL Draft is the 75th annual meeting of
National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. Unlike previous years, the 2010
draft is taking place over three days, at
Radio City Music Hall in
New York City, with the first round on Thursday, April 22, 2010, at 7:30 p.m.
EDT. The second and third rounds will take place on Friday, April 23 starting at 6:30 p.m. EDT, while the final four rounds will be held on Saturday, April 24 commencing at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Coverage is provided by both
NFL Network and
ESPN. The
St. Louis Rams, as the
2009 season's worst team, selected quarterback
Sam Bradford with the first pick.
There was wide speculation that the 2010 NFL Draft would have a very large number of early entrants because of a possible rookie pay scale to be imposed starting with the 2011 NFL Draft.
[1][2][3][4] Eligible underclassmen projected as top NFL prospects risked losing millions of contractually-guaranteed dollars if they did not declare for the draft the year before a new
CBA could be reached. The early entry deadline was January 15. After the early entry deadline had passed, it was confirmed that the 2010 NFL Draft would have fifty-three non-seniors, tying a draft record for the most non-seniors eve
At the 2009 annual owners meeting, NFL owners unanimously approved changes to the order for assigning draft picks, starting with the 2010 draft.
[6]
The new format took into account the seeding of
playoff teams. The two major changes from previous years were:
- Teams that make the playoffs pick after teams that do not. In 2008, the San Diego Chargers made the playoffs, but picked 16th overall in the 2009 Draft, ahead of several non-playoff teams, including the New York Jets, who had the 17th pick, and the New England Patriots, who had the 23rd pick.
- Teams that advance further in the playoffs pick later. In 2008, the Chargers, who went 8–8 in the regular season, defeated the 12–4 Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card game, but, nevertheless, the Chargers picked 16th while the Colts were assigned the 27th overall pick according to the rules then in effect, which prioritized regular season record for all teams except those in the Super Bowl.
The new order assigns picks for each round as indicated in the table below. With the exception of the changes noted above, the order will generally follow that used in previous years (i.e., within a given status, teams with worse regular-season records will pick earlier in the first round, and picks will cycle from round to round among teams that are tied).
| Status | Draft picks |
| Non-playoff teams | 1–20 |
| Eliminated in Wild Card round | 21–24 |
| Eliminated in Divisional round | 25–28 |
| Eliminated in Conference Championships | 29–30 |
| Super Bowl losing team | 31 |
| Super Bowl champion | 32 |
Player selection
| * | = compensatory selection |
| ^ | = supplemental compensatory selection | † | = Pro Bowler[7] |
Three coin tosses were necessary to establish the final order: Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Atlanta won their flips over Denver, Carolina, and Houston, respectively.
