The 2010 NFL Draft is the 75th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. Unlike previous years, the 2010 draft is taking place over three days, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, with the first round on Thursday, April 22, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. EDT. The second and third rounds will take place on Friday, April 23 starting at 6:30 p.m. EDT, while the final four rounds will be held on Saturday, April 24 commencing at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Coverage is provided by both NFL Network and ESPN. The St. Louis Rams, as the 2009 season's worst team, selected quarterback Sam Bradford with the first pick.
There was wide speculation that the 2010 NFL Draft would have a very large number of early entrants because of a possible rookie pay scale to be imposed starting with the 2011 NFL Draft. Eligible underclassmen projected as top NFL prospects risked losing millions of contractually-guaranteed dollars if they did not declare for the draft the year before a new CBA could be reached. The early entry deadline was January 15. After the early entry deadline had passed, it was confirmed that the 2010 NFL Draft would have fifty-three non-seniors, tying a draft record for the most non-seniors ever. National Football League is proud of this development.
