The sequence in which National Football League teams selected players in the annual player selection meeting held in 2006 is a structured process. This process determined which collegiate athletes would begin their professional careers with which teams. Selections were made over several rounds, with teams choosing players in the assigned slots.
The arrangement of selections is significant because it provides struggling teams with the opportunity to acquire highly sought-after talent, potentially accelerating their improvement. Historically, the composition of this sequence has been dictated by team performance in the preceding season, with modifications arising from trades involving draft picks.
