   Why is the NFL Draft so important?

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

   Why do NFL Draft Picks vary per team?

   • Picks per team vary because draft picks can be traded to other teams, and the NFL can award additional picks to a team if the team loses players designated as restricted free agents. A free agent is a player whose contract has expired and is eligible to sign with another team.
