At the end of the round three chart, several players beginning with Mike Vrabel and going to the end of the round are highlighted in blue. What is the meaning of this highlight? I feel like it's a mistake, but I'm not sure. Thanks.The Reader who Writes (talk) 08:17, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that would mean that they were a compensatory pick.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 23:07, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The links to the college teams are to their 1997 teams. Shouldn't they be linked to the '96 teams because these players never played for their college again. See the links in

Since they were added in the last 24 hours I will assume it was just a small discrepancy. In the interest of continuity, I will fix these myself.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While the 1996 NFL draft somehow manages it to have the player pictures right of the draft picks template this article (also 1998 NFL draft and 1999 NFL draft) has a large white space with only the pictures and then the picks. I tried to edit it but couldn't get it to work due to missing experience. Also the jumping to rounds doesn't work. Xfreeder (talk) 18:43, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we add a profile for Darrell Russell behind Orlando Pace and ahead off Tony Gonzalez JohnLUcas05 (talk) 23:16, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
