The players selected by teams in the National Football League (NFL) during the annual NFL Draft, a multi-day event where eligible prospects, primarily from college, are chosen in a predetermined order based on team needs and prior performance.

Choices made by NFL franchises in the rookie draft, often traded or valued highly as assets that can shape a team's future success or spectacular failure.

A term encompassing both the specific selections (e.g., first-round picks) and the broader pool of draftees entering professional American football.
