[edit] Trivia
- The first player ever drafted, Jay Berwanger, never played in the NFL. His rights were traded from the Eagles to the Bears after he claimed he had no interest in playing for the Eagles. George Halas was unable to convince Berwanger to sign with the Bears.
- Riley Smith, the second pick, was the first player ever signed from the draft that played in the NFL.
- This was the only draft to have nine rounds; the number increased to ten for the 1937 draft.
