NFL DRAFT FACTS

DRAFT ORDER

The NFL’s 2012 draft order was derived from the reverse order of 2011 regular season records, with the exception of the Super Bowl champion, the Super Bowl runner-up and the playoff teams. Teams that made the playoffs are ordered by which round of the playoffs they are eliminated. Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record. For teams with identical records, the tiebreaker is strength of schedule, with the team with the lowest strength of schedule drafting first. The final tiebreaker is a coin flip.

ROUND-BY-ROUND ROTATION The draft order of teams with identical records will rotate by round, with the exception of the Super Bowl champion and the Super Bowl runner-up, which will draft last and next-to-last in each round. Teams involved in two-team ties will alternate positions from round to round. In ties that involve three or more teams, the team at the bottom of the tied segment in a given round will move to the top of the segment for the next round, while all other teams in the segment move down one position. This rotation continues throughout the draft.

PASSING If a team does not make a pick during its allotted time period, the team “passes” and the pick will defer to the next team. The initial team may then at any point make a pick, regardless of whether or not the subsequent team has made a pick.

UNDERCLASSMEN ELIGIBLE FOR 2012 DRAFT

The National Football League has announced the names of 65 players who have been granted special eligibility for the 2012 NFL Draft. Each of the 65 players has met the league's three-year eligibility rule and each has submitted a written application in which he renounced his remaining college football eligibility. The deadline for receiving applications was Jan. 15, 2012.

NFL DRAFT INFORMATION ON NFLMEDIA.COM The NFL’s media-only website, www.nflmedia.com, contains a special draft section for registered users. The page provides biographies on over 200 draft prospects and will be updated with official draft reports, transcripts and other information on draft weekend. The draft-specific page on nflmedia.com can be accessed by clicking on the NFL Draft logo on the left side of the site’s home page.

COMPENSATORY DRAFT CHOICES A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2012 NFL Draft have been awarded to 15 teams. The Patriots did not receive a compensatory pick in 2012, but have been awarded a total of 26 compensatory selections in the 19 years since the system was adopted prior to the 1994 draft. In 2000, the Patriots used a compensatory draft choice to select QB Tom Brady (sixth round, 199th overall).

Numbers and Positioning: The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents, with a maximum of four. The compensatory picks are positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Compensatory picks cannot be traded.

Formula: Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Details on can be found at www.nflmedia.com.
