From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
University of Washington Husky football team has had over 300 players
drafted into the
National Football League (NFL) since the league began holding drafts in 1936. Because of the NFL–AFL merger agreement, the history of the AFL is officially recognized by the NFL and therefore this list includes the
AFL Draft (1960–1966) and the
Common Draft (1967–1969).
Each NFL
franchise seeks to add new players through the annual
NFL Draft . Generally, the team with the worst record the previous year picks first, the next-worst team second, and so on. Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record with any remaining ties broken by
strength of schedule .
Playoff participants are sequenced after non-playoff teams, based on their round of elimination (wild card, division, conference, and
Super Bowl ). See
NFL Draft Rules for further detail.
Before the
merger agreements in 1966, the
American Football League (AFL) operated in direct competition with the NFL and held a separate
draft . This led to a massive bidding war over top prospects between the two leagues. As part of the merger agreement on June 8, 1966, the two leagues would hold a multiple round "
Common Draft ". Once the AFL officially merged with the NFL in 1970, the "Common Draft" simply became the NFL Draft.
