The 18 teams which do not make the playoffs, in strict reverse order of finish, receive the first 18 picks in each of the seven rounds of the subsequent NFL Draft (the NFL does not use a "lottery" system like the [[NBA]], the NHL, or MLB), the remaining 14 teams receive their picks based on playoff success, with the Super Bowl champion receiving the last pick in each round.

Draft choices can be freely traded between teams subject to league rules (or, if a team is disciplined for conduct, can be forfeited). Teams are also awarded "compensatory" picks for players who sign as free agents with other teams; the picks are awarded at the end of rounds 3-6 depending on the salary paid to the former player. Also in an attempt to create "racial diversity" in the higher ranks of franchise management (head coach or general manager), teams who lose minority staff to other teams (as either head coaches or general managers) are awarded picks (third round, after free agent compensatory picks) for two consecutive years for one person, or three consecutive years for two or more persons.
