2010 NFL DRAFT

The 2010 NFL Draft will be the 75th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. Unlike previous years, the 2010 draft will take place over three days, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City 

FIRST Round - Thursday, April 22, 2010, at 7:30pm US EDT

2nd - 3rd Round - Friday, April 23 starting at 6:30 PM EDT

4th - 7th Round - Saturday, April 24 commencing at 10 AM EDT

Coverage will be provided by both NFL Network and ESPN.

Changes in draft order

At the 2009 annual owners meeting, NFL owners unanimously approved changes to the order for assigning draft picks, starting with the 2010 draft.[2]

The changes affect the seeding of playoff teams. The two major changes from previous years are:

  • Teams that make the playoffs pick after teams that do not. In 2008, the San Diego Chargers made the playoffs, but picked 16th overall in the 2009 Draft, ahead of several non-playoff teams, including the New York Jets, who had the 17th pick, and the New England Patriots, who had the 23rd pick.

  • Teams that advance further in the playoffs pick later. In 2008, the Chargers, who went 8–8 in the regular season, defeated the 12–4 Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card game, but, nevertheless, the Chargers picked 16th while the Colts were assigned the 27th overall pick according to the rules then in effect, which prioritized regular season record for all teams except those in the Super Bowl.

The new order assigns picks for each round as indicated in the table below. With the exception of the changes noted above, the order will generally follow that used in previous years (i.e., within a given status, teams with worse regular-season records will pick earlier in the first round, and picks will cycle from round to round among teams that are tied).

Other official changes

On July 23, 2009, the NFL announced that the 2010 Draft would adopt a three-day format, with the first three rounds held during prime time. The first round will be held on Thursday, April 22; the second and third rounds will take place on Friday, April 23; and the last four rounds are scheduled for Saturday, April 24. The draft will still be televised by both ESPN and the NFL Network and take place at Radio City Music Hall in New York.[3] NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in his blog, before the new schedule was adopted, that "We think it can be very appealing from a fan’s standpoint and an audience standpoint."[4]

The Jets acquired this pick as part of the conditional agreement of the trade in which Favre's performance resulted in the Packers receiving the Jets' 2009 third-round selection, coupled with Favre retiring after the 2008 season. However, this pick has been returned to the Packers. [9][10]

  • Kansas City to Miami: Kansas City traded its 2010 seventh-round selection to Miami for Miami's 2009 seventh-round selection.[11]

Conditional/Undetermined

  • Jacksonville to Tampa Bay: Jacksonville traded an undisclosed 2010 draft choice to Tampa Bay for quarterback Luke McCown.

  • Kansas City to Miami: Kansas City traded an undisclosed 2010 draft choice to Miami for offensive linemen Andy Alleman and Ikechuku Ndukwe.

  • New England to Baltimore: New England traded a conditional 7th round 2010 draft choice to Baltimore for LB Prescott Burgess.[12] Burgess was placed on the Patriots' practice squad, but was claimed by Baltimore after their game against the Patriots, thus nullifying the trade as Burgess did not meet the condition for playing time.[13]

  • New York Jets to Philadelphia: New York traded a 2009 fifth-round selection and a conditional 2010 selection to Philadelphia for CB Lito Sheppard. Depending on Sheppard's playing time in 2009 and if Sheppard is not released by the Jets prior to the beginning of a contract extension beginning in March 2010, the selection could be in the second, third, or fourth round. If Sheppard is released prior to March 2010 and he plays less than 40% of the Jets defensive snaps in 2009, the Eagles will receive no 2010 pick from the Jets through this trade. [14]

  • New York Jets to Cleveland. New York traded a conditional third round pick, as well as a fifth round pick, WR Chansi Stuckey, and LB Jason Trusnik, to Cleveland for WR Braylon Edwards. The third-round pick can become a second-round pick based on Edwards' performance with New York.

  • San Diego to Houston: San Diego traded an undisclosed 2010 draft choice to Houston for defensive lineman Travis Johnson.
