In the section of this article on forfeited picks each entry includes some variation of "If Atlanta receives multiple fifth-round selections, the team will forfeit its first fifth-round selection." Can someone explain why a team might be awarded multiple picks in a single round (besides compensatory picks, which are inserted at the end of the round)? It seems logical that the team would simply forfeit the pick in whatever round the penalty applies to that would have been their pick in the normal order. Say the Patriots acquire the selection of the team that has the first overall selection in the draft — would they really have to forfeit that pick rather than their selection (based on the Patriots record in 2015)? That wouldn't make a lot of sense to me. It looks like this caveat may have come from the ESPN article which is the reference for the Atlanta forfeiture, but I'm failing to see the logic. Unless someone can explain it, I would consider removing it. — DeeJayK (talk) 20:31, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
I think the comment is directed at the possibility of pre-draft Trades: Atlanta could make deals until then that might net the two, three or more fifth round picks. In such a case, the ruling made clear that the highest fifth round pick will be forfeited, whether it be it's original pick or not. --Wiesengrund (talk) 17:41, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
Why is there a first selection on there already. Even though the individual has been widely mocked to the Titans it is speculative and misleading to have that in a Wikipedia article a month before the event takes place. 87.112.19.85 (talk) 11:03, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
One of these has to be wrong. The Texans can't have traded their seventh-round pick to both Denver and New England. I assume one of the picks they traded was the seventh-round pick they previously got from the Rams. This should be clarified.
When do the early entrants get moved to a separate article? I'm just getting a little overwhelmed by all this info. Jdavi333 (talk) 20:33, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Seahawks also received the 94th pick. The trade with the Broncos is not currently reflected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShaneHaughey (talk • contribs) 04:41, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
Bears trade #49 pick to Seahawks for 56th pick (2nd Round) and 124th pick (4th Round). DickButka (talk) 00:51, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

2016 NFL draft → 2016 NFL Draft – This was boldly changed across many draft articles a while back without discussion. The NFL, which actually hosts the event, capitalizes the name and treats it as a proper noun. See NFL.com. Search results are about evenly split, so there was no clear reason to change the capitalization without discussion in the first place. Given no clear "winner" using search results, we should default to the name given to this event by the organization holding it. ~ RobTalk 03:27, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm very sorry I missed the above discussion. Looking at source stats, these capitalizations seem inappropriate in the extreme. Dicklyon (talk) 01:42, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

So what's the plan for this? Are we gonna wait another three months for someone to re-list it? Lizard (talk) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
No big deal and you guys may want to wait until the end, but with the Saints moving back into the second they are now tied for least amount of picks with 5 for right now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.121.91 (talk) 09:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Under PLAYER SELECTIONS: 1 – New England Patriots Selection forfeited as punishment for the team's involvement in the Deflategate scandal[Forfeited 1] <---------- should be changed to "New England Patriots Selection forfeited as punishment for the team's alleged involvement in the Deflategate scandal."
This is still an ongoing court case and nothing has been proven thus far. The dispute is most likely going to be appealed at the Supreme Court level. It is unfair to paint this picture of them until the legal process is completely over. Logan182 (talk) 19:45, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
don't you think the supreme court has a few more important issues ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.49.221 (talk) 21:22, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
If you're convicted of a crime, you are considered guilty of it, even if appeal is pending. Red Jay (talk) 21:39, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

This page (and just about every other draft page, apparently) is now completely broken because there are so many templates that the software can't render it. It really needs to be redone as a table without so many templates so that readers can access it. —DoRD (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
table is all screwed up — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.49.221 (talk) 21:21, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
It starts: "The 2016 NFL Draft was the 81st annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. As in 2015, the draft took place at ...". So even the opening sentence gives it away. It needs to be downcased, according to the rules of most style guides, including our own. Tony (talk) 02:00, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
This article is capitalized per WP:NCCAPS, which states that "Do not capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper name", which this is. The NFL Draft is an official, NFL-designated, proper name title of a specific event. The NGRAM results being used to support lowercase are wholly flawed evidence, because it includes descriptive rather than titular mentions. For example, compare the NGRAM results for Space Shuttle, which show that lowercase "space shuttle" is more widely used than capitalized "Space Shuttle", but the Wikipedia article is at capitalized "Space Shuttle", because that is the official name of the vehicle; that is a similar case showing the difference between a descriptive phrase and an official title. Sources that use lowercase are referring to it descriptively (referring to it as an "NFL draft" in the sense that it is a "draft sponsored by the NFL", in the same way that the "space shuttle" is a "shuttle used in space", but there is also an official "Space Shuttle", the formal term for it designated by NASA), but that does not change that event itself is a proper name title. —Lowellian (reply) 17:24, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Should we add Brian Poole of the Atlanta Falcons to the list of notable undrafted players? Here's his profile on NFL.com: http://www.nfl.com/player/brianpoole/2556445/profile — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.191.95 (talk) 19:05, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
