The 1945 NFL draft was held on April 8, 1945, at the Commodore Hotel in New York City, New York.[1] Perhaps as a tip of the hat to wartime sensibilities, the 1945 draft was officially called the "1944 Preferred Negotiations List" by the league.[2]
With the first overall pick of the draft, the Chicago Cardinals selected halfback Charley Trippi.
Although there were formally 32 rounds of the draft, each of the 11 teams made a total of 30 selections, with a total of 330 players chosen.[3] A total of 22 players were selected before they became eligible for the draft under league rules.[3] These draft choices were forfeited by the team and are noted below. The actual number of drafted-and-eligible players chosen in the 1945 draft was thus 308.[3]
