The NFL Draft, which had been held in Chicago in each of the past two years, returns to Philadelphia for the first time since 1961. Philadelphia's Ritz-Carlton Hotel served as the location of the first NFL Draft in 1936. The city also hosted the event in 1949-50, 1953-54, 1956 (Rounds 1-3) and 1957-61.

Twenty-five prospects attended the draft last year, including future Giants cornerback Eli Apple. The 10th overall pick was one of a record-tying five players from Ohio State to attend, equaling the mark set by Alabama in 2012.
