The 2007 National Football League draft took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, on April 28 and April 29, 2007.[1][2] The draft was televised for the 28th consecutive year on ESPN and ESPN2. The NFL Network also broadcast coverage of the event, its second year doing so. There were 255 draft selections: 223 regular selections (instead of the typical 224)[3] and 32 compensatory selections.[4] A supplemental draft was also held after the regular draft and before the regular season. This was the first draft presided over by new NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The first round was the longest in the history of the NFL draft, lasting six hours, eight minutes.[5] One of the big stories of the draft was the fall of Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn. Quinn had been projected as a potential first overall pick in early mock drafts and had been invited to attend the draft in person, but he wasn't selected until the 22nd pick in the first round by the Cleveland Browns, who acquired the pick in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys.[6] Louisiana State University quarterback JaMarcus Russell was selected first overall by the Oakland Raiders after he had replaced Quinn as the projected first selection among most analysts following his performance in the 2007 Sugar Bowl against Quinn and Notre Dame.[7][8][9] Russell is considered by many as one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history,[10][11][12] and Quinn also had a largely unsuccessful pro career.[13] That notwithstanding, Bleacher Report named the 2007 draft class the "greatest draft class in the last 25 years" in 2012.[14]
Player breakdown

- Of the 40 underclassmen who entered the draft, 29 were selected.[15]
- Louisiana State University set a school record with four players drafted in the first round.[16]
