1936 NFL Draft
Encyclopedia
The 1936
National Football League
Draft
was the first draft of the National Football League. It took place on February 8, 1936 at the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
and has taken place every year since. The draft was instituted in an effort to equalize strength amongst the league's teams. The last place team from the previous season would get the first selection, and the process would continue in reverse order of the standings. Under this structure the Philadelphia Eagles
, who finished at 2–9
, would select first.
This was the only draft to have nine rounds; the number increased to ten for the 1937 draft
. The first player ever drafted, Jay Berwanger
, never played in the NFL. His rights were traded by the Philadelphia Eagles
to the Chicago Bears
, as the Eagles felt they would be unable to meet Berwanger's reported demand of $1000 per game. The Eagles received tackle Art Buss
from the Bears in exchange for Berwanger's rights. George Halas
was unable to convince Berwanger to sign with the Bears. Riley Smith
, the second pick, was the first player drafted to play in the NFL.
