The 2017 NFL draft was the 82nd annual meeting of National Football League franchises to select newly eligible American football players. It was held in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on April 27–29, returning to Philadelphia for the first time since 1961.
The player selections were announced from an outdoor theater built on the Rocky Steps, marking the first time an entire NFL draft was held outdoors.

The record for most trades made during an NFL draft was set this year at 37, surpassing the 34 trades made in the 2008 NFL draft.
