Selection order

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 in the first round, and two in the fifth round. Also, 32 additional compensatory picks will be allocated between the ends of round 3 through 7 for a total of 253 picks. The New England Patriots will forfeit their first round selection due to their role in the Deflategate scandal, but they are included in this table to indicate where they fall in the draft order for later rounds.

See the rules for determining draft order for more details.
