The four teams eliminated in the wild card round pick in slots 21-24 in the reverse order of their final regular season records.The order is determined by the results of the previous year’s postseason play: Teams that did qualify for the playoffs are assigned draft slots 21-32. The order is determined by the standings at the end of the regular season: The club with the worst record will pick first, and the one with the best record will pick 20th.

The NFL Draft has changed as the league has grown in size and popularity.

Some players will provide an instant boost to the team that selects them others won’t. The annual NFL Draft gives the teams the opportunity to infuse their rosters with new talent.
