The 2009 NFL Draft is scheduled to take place in Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 25 and 26, 2009. The draft will have two rounds on the first day, and five rounds on the second day. The Detroit Lions, who became the first NFL team in history to finish a season at 0-16, will have the first selection in the draft.

Current draft order

The draft order is based on each team's regular season record. The order for the first round is set according to these rules:

  1. Teams are grouped into "segments" by regular-season record, regardless of playoff status, and sorted in reverse order.
  2. No team moves outside its segment, except that the winner of Super Bowl XLIII selects 32nd and the loser 31st, regardless of their records.
  3. Within each segment, teams that did not make the playoffs select before teams that did.
  4. For teams that did not make the playoffs within each segment, remaining ties are broken by strength of schedule (SOS). A team's strength of schedule is the combined records of its opponents, including games played against the team in question, counting teams against which the team played two games. (Ties count as half a win.)
  5. For teams that made the playoffs within each segment, remaining ties are broken by how far each team advanced in the playoffs. Teams that lost in earlier rounds select before teams who lost in later rounds; teams that exit in the same round are ranked by strength of schedule.
  6. If strength of schedule does not resolve a tie, division and/or conference tiebreakers are used whenever possible.
  7. Any remaining ties are broken by a coin toss at the NFL Combine.

In succeeding rounds, within each segment, the team that picks first in one round selects last in the next round, and all other teams move up one spot. For example, the draft order for the 8-8 teams in round one of the 2009 draft is Denver-Washington-New Orleans-Houston-San Diego; in round two, Washington will pick first and Denver last; in round three, New Orleans will pick first and Washington last, and so on.[1]

The table below shows the base first-round order used to generate the pre-trade order for all seven rounds (first-round trades are indicated in small print). The segments for the 2009 draft are indicated by shading. Teams that made the playoffs are indicated in bold.

22 Minnesota Vikings 10-6 .504
23 New England Patriots 11-5 .480 New England selects first as the only non-playoff team in this group. Atlanta and Miami select before Baltimore because they both lost in the Wild Card round. Atlanta selects before Miami because of its easier schedule.
24 Atlanta Falcons 11-5 .459

26 Baltimore Ravens 11-5 .521
27 Indianapolis Colts 12-4 .498 Indianapolis selects first because it lost in the Wild Card round. Carolina and the Giants both lost in the Divisional round, so Carolina, with its easier schedule, picks before the Giants.

Pre-draft trades

First round

  • No. 20: Dallas to Detroit. Dallas traded its first-, third-, and sixth-round selections to Detroit in exchange for wide receiver Roy Williams and a seventh-round selection.[2]
  • No. 28: Carolina to Philadelphia. Carolina traded its first-round selection in 2009, as well as its second- and fourth-round selections in 2008 (No. 43: traded to Minnesota, who selected safety Tyrell Johnson; and No. 109: used to select offensive guard Mike McGlynn) to Philadelphia for Philadelphia's first-round selection in 2008 (No. 19: used to select offensive tackle Jeff Otah).[3]

Second round

  • No. 34: Kansas City to New England. Kansas City traded its second-round selection in 2009 to New England for quarterback Matt Cassel and linebacker Mike Vrabel.[4]
  • No. 44: Washington to Miami. Washington traded its second-round selection in 2009 and its sixth-round selection in 2010 to Miami for defensive end Jason Taylor.[5]
  • No. 45: New Orleans to New York Giants. New Orleans traded its second- and fifth-round selections to the New York Giants for tight end Jeremy Shockey.[6] If the Saints had re-signed linebacker Jonathan Vilma before free agency began on February 27, 2009, however, they would have owed that second-round selection to the New York Jets, and the Giants would have received the Saints' first-round selection in the 2010 draft. See Jonathan Vilma trade below.
  • No. 47: San Diego to New England. San Diego traded its second-round selection in 2009 and fifth-round selection in 2008 (No. 160: traded to Tampa Bay, who selected quarterback Josh Johnson) to New England for the first of New England's third-round selections in 2008 (No. 69: used to select running back Jacob Hester).[7]
  • No. 50: Tampa Bay to Cleveland. Tampa Bay traded its second-round selection in 2009, as well as its fifth-round selection in 2010, to Cleveland for tight end Kellen Winslow, Jr.[8]

Third round

  • No. 69: Cleveland to Dallas. Cleveland traded its third-round selection in 2009 (No. 69) to Dallas for Dallas' fourth-round selection in 2008 (No, 111: used to select tight end Martin Rucker).[9]
  • No. 76: New Orleans to New York Jets. New Orleans traded its third-round selection to the Jets for linebacker Jonathan Vilma.[10] That selection rose from the fourth round because of Vilma's playing time in 2008. If the Saints re-sign Vilma before free agency begins on February 27, 2009, then the Saints would owe the Jets a second-round selection. The Saints have traded that second-round selection to the New York Giants as part of the Jeremy Shockey trade, however, so the Giants instead would get the Saints' first-round choice. Because of this, the Saints reportedly will wait until Vilma is a free agent to re-sign him.[11]
  • No. 82: Dallas to Detroit. See above first-round trade for Roy Williams.
  • No. 83: New York Jets to Green Bay. The New York Jets traded a conditional selection to Green Bay for quarterback Brett Favre. The selection became a third-round selection because Favre took the majority of the team's snaps at quarterback. This selection would have become a second- or first-round selection had Favre led the Jets to the playoffs.[12]

Fourth round

  • Detroit to Dallas. Detroit traded its fourth-round selection in 2009 and third-round selection in 2008 (No. 111: traded to Cleveland, see above trade for Martin Rucker) to Dallas for Dallas' 2008 third-round selection (No. 92: used to select defensive end Cliff Avril).[13]
  • Washington to New York Jets. Washington traded its fourth-round selection in 2009 to the Jets for guard Pete Kendall prior to the 2007 season. The selection changed from a fifth-round selection in 2008 because Kendall played 80 percent of the snaps for the Redskins in 2007.[14]
  • Minnesota to Houston. Minnesota traded its fourth-round selection to Houston for quarterback Sage Rosenfels.[15]

Fifth round

  • Oakland to Atlanta. Oakland traded its fifth-round selection in 2009 and a second-round selection in 2008 (No. 34: traded to Washington and used to select wide receiver Devin Thomas) to Atlanta for cornerback DeAngelo Hall.[16]
  • Cleveland to Philadelphia. Cleveland traded its fifth-round selection in 2009 to Philadelphia for Philadelphia's sixth-round selection in 2008 (No. 191: used to select wide receiver Paul Hubbard).[13]
  • New Orleans to New York Giants. See above second-round trade for Jeremy Shockey.
  • Tennessee to Dallas. The suspension of cornerback Pacman Jones on October 15, 2008 triggered a clause in his trade agreement that required Tennessee to give Dallas its fifth-round selection. Had Jones not been suspended, Dallas would have owed Tennessee a sixth-round selection.[17]
  • Seattle to Denver Seattle traded its fifth-round selection to Denver in return for wide receiver Keary Colbert.[18]
  • New York Jets to Philadelphia The New York Jets traded their fifth-round selection and a conditional selection in 2010 to Philadelphia in return for cornerback Lito Sheppard.[19]
  • New England to Philadelphia. New England traded its fifth-round selection in 2009 to Philadelphia for wide receiver Greg Lewis and a seventh-round selection in 2010.[20]

Sixth round

  • Miami to Dallas. Miami traded its sixth-round selection in 2009 and sixth-round selection in 2008 (No. 167: used to select linebacker Erik Walden) to Dallas for defensive tackle Jason Ferguson and Dallas' sixth-round selection (No. 195: used to select offensive guard Donald Thomas).[21]
  • Minnesota to Philadelphia. Minnesota traded its sixth-round selection to Philadelphia for quarterback Kelly Holcomb.[22]
  • New Orleans to Green Bay. New Orleans traded its sixth-round selection in 2009 to Green Bay for Green Bay's seventh-round selection in 2008 (No. 237: used to select wide receiver Adrian Arrington).[23]
  • Tampa Bay to Chicago. Tampa Bay traded its sixth-round selection to Chicago for quarterback Brian Griese.[24]
  • Chicago to Tampa Bay. Chicago traded its sixth-round selection to Tampa Bay for offensive guard Dan Buenning.[25]
  • Dallas to Detroit. See above first-round trade for Roy Williams.

Seventh round

  • Jacksonville to Tampa Bay. Jacksonville traded its seventh-round selection in 2009 and its second-round (No. 58: used to select wide receiver Dexter Jackson) and fifth-round (No. 158: traded to Chicago and used to select tight end Kellen Davis) selections in 2008 to Tampa Bay for Tampa Bay's second-round selection in 2008 (No. 52: used to select defensive end Quentin Groves).[13]
  • Washington to Minnesota. Washington traded a seventh-round selection to Minnesota for defensive end Erasmus James.[26]
  • Cleveland to Miami. Cleveland traded its seventh-round selection to Miami for cornerback Travis Daniels.[27]
  • Carolina to Miami. Carolina traded its seventh-round selection to Miami for quarterback Josh McCown.[28]
  • Tampa Bay to Pittsburgh. Tampa Bay traded its seventh-round selection to Pittsburgh for offensive lineman Sean Mahan.[29]
  • Detroit to Dallas. See above first-round trade for Roy Williams.
  • Atlanta to Denver. Atlanta traded a seventh-round selection to Denver for cornerback Dominique Foxworth. The selection could have become a sixth-rounder had the Falcons resigned Foxworth, who signed with Baltimore.[30]

Conditional/Undetermined

  • Baltimore to Tampa Bay. Baltimore traded a late-round selection in 2009 as well as a conditional selection in 2010 to Tampa Bay for defensive end Marques Douglas.[31]
