2013 NFL Draft

The 2013 NFL Draft will be the 78th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. The draft, which is officially called the "NFL Player Selection Meeting," will be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City from April 25–27.

Selection Order
The selection order for the first round will be as follows:


 * Non-playoff teams with identical overall records rotate through their collective draft positions. Playoff teams that lose in the same round and have identical overall records rotate through their collective draft positions. Each round, the team previously at the top of a rotation drops to the bottom, while each other team moves up one spot: for example, Jacksonville will have the first pick in the second round.
 * The New York jets pick ahead of Tennessee because of a head-to-head loss in Week 15.
 * Since Chicago failed to make the playoffs, it will pick 20th in every round.
 * Since Indianapolis lost its first playoff game, while Seattle and Green Bay won theirs, Indianapolis will pick 24th in every round, while Seattle and Green Bay will alternate the 25th and 26th picks.

Early entrants
