Each of the 32 franchises are awarded a selection in each round based on its record in the previous season. In addition, 32 compensatory picks are given to teams based on who they gained or lost in free agency. Teams have 10 minutes to make their choice in the first round, seven minutes in the second round, five minutes in the third through sixth rounds and four minutes in the seventh round. The first draft was held in Philadelphia in , consisting of nine rounds and 81 picks.

MacKinnon caught passes for 2, yards and 20 touchdowns. He also rushed 86 times for yards and two touchdowns.
However, Washburn didn't even make training camp, so by default the honors were bestowed upon Bill Kenney. The quarterback amassed a career quarterback rating of 77 and was selected for one Pro Bowl. Though he threw touchdowns to 86 interceptions, his record was only over nine seasons. In seven years with the New England Patriots and one with the Cleveland Browns , Moore played in a total of games. The linebacker started in only 20 of them, but managed to accumulate one sack, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and tackles.
Taken with the very last pick in the NFL draft, Jim Finn found success in the league as a fullback. Irrelevant" title didn't show up until Paul Salata coined the term in , but our list factors in all the men selected last in draft history.

He missed his flight to SoCal for "Irrelevant Week," so he was replaced by a local butcher who served as a passable doppelganger.
Stokes, left, never made it to the NFL, but his wife used to be a backup dancer for Beyonce George, Utah. His wife is the team's director of entertainment, which we imagine has a strict No-Beyonce policy. Finn bounced around the league for a couple years before earning a starting job with the New York Giants.
He started 42 games for Big Blue before retiring after the season. He's now part of a concussion-related lawsuit filed against the NFL. Another "Mr. The Colts took a chance on Chad last year and still have him rostered. The Titans originally drafted Reed out of Southern Miss, where he finished his career with three defensive touchdowns two in a four-INT senior year. Reed played in both of the Titans playoff games but wound up in Seattle in However, he suffered a serious neck injury in the Seahawks training camp.
The severity of the injury would put Reed at significant risk if he plays again, so the aspiring young defender's career is likely over. Tight end has been a common Mr. Irrelevant job; six received the Newport Beach red carpet treatment between Like many other players on this list, Christian enjoyed barely a cup of coffee as an NFLer. The Cardinals took him with the th pick four years ago, with good sport Chandler Harnish announcing the selection, but used him in just three games.
Christian, who transferred from Florida to Louisville, did receive a lifeline last year. With the Arizona Hotshots of the disbanded AAF, he caught 14 passes — one of them going for his first professional touchdown. Irrelevant picks in the early part of this decade, with the Texans wrapping up the stretch with their second in this span. A safety out of Memphis, Ballentine did manage to make Houston's roster, but he saw action in only four games during what turned out to be a three-year career.
The Texans waived him for good in Cunningham did not boast especially impressive college stats, topping out at 23 catches for yards as a senior tight end at South Carolina. But the Colts, owners of the Mr. Irrelevant pick again, made the ex-Gamecock the th overall pick in Cunningham spent four years, on and off, with the Colts and Rams but saw action in only two games.
He made one catch for 4 yards as a rookie; that was his only grab as an NFLer. Such is life for this draft slot. Harnish put together a dominant senior season at Northern Illinois, accounting for 4, yards and 39 touchdowns.
The four-year Huskies starter blazed for 1, rushing yards in , catching the attention of the Colts. Indianapolis made Harnish the rd overall pick, and the player with one Division I-FBS scholarship offer hung around through the offseason. Typical for Mr. Irrelevants, Harnish did not see game time. Matt Hasselbeck was then Andrew Luck's backup. But Harnish, who ended his career as a Cardinals camp body, enjoyed stints on Indianapolis' and Minnesota's active rosters.
A Rice product who made tackles and 11 sacks in four seasons as an Owls defensive lineman, Ozougwu made some cameos in the NFL. The Texans used 's final pick No. Ozougwu made the Bears' game-day roster nine times between , registering one sack and forcing a fumble.
Unfortunately for Ozougwu, he could not parlay this into a longer-term gig. Another team turned to a Weber State pass catcher to close a draft, with the Lions taking Toone at No. After a touchdown senior season at the Utah school, Toone did not make Detroit's roster. This became a pattern in his earlys summers. Several teams carried Toone on their practice squads or expanded offseason rosters.
