The draft lasted 17 rounds, with the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks making the first two selections. The Buccaneers were awarded the first overall pick of the draft after winning a draw over the Seahawks, and used that pick to select defensive tackle Lee Roy Selmon. The expansion teams were also given a pair of extra picks at the end of each of rounds 2–5. The 1976 draft was the final NFL draft to last seventeen rounds; it was reduced to twelve rounds in 1977, and it was the first draft to officially have the infamous unofficial award, "Mr. Irrelevant", for the final player selected. Like 1974, the 1976 draft is generally regarded as one of the worst quarterback draft classes of all time. No quarterback from the 1976 draft class ever reached the Pro Bowl, an All-Pro team or a Super Bowl, and according to the estimate of Eldorado this quarterback class was the second-worst after 1996.[3] Only first round pick Richard Todd, who led the New York Jets to their first postseason appearances since Super Bowl III in 1981 and 1982, was ever a regular starter.

Five teams lost picks as a penalty for illegally signing former World Football League players: the New York Giants and Chicago Bears lost sixth-round picks, the Washington Redskins lost their seventh-round pick, and the Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets lost their tenth-round selections.[4]

The college draft was originally scheduled for February 3–4, but was postponed when the owners of the Seahawks and Buccaneers filed a lawsuit against the players' union with worries that the organization would try to prevent the expansion draft. The court case delayed both the expansion draft and the annual college draft.[5]

with the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks making the first two selections The Buccaneers were awarded the first overall pick of the draft after winning a draw over the Seahawks and used that pick to select defensive tackle Lee Roy Selmon The expansion teams were also given a pair of extra picks at the end of each of rounds 2 5 The 1976 draft was the final NFL draft to last seventeen rounds it was reduced to twelve rounds in 1977 and it was the first draft to officially have the infamous unofficial award Mr Irrelevant for the final player selected Like 1974 the 1976 draft is generally regarded as one of the worst quarterback draft classes of all time No quarterback from the 1976 draft class ever reached the Pro Bowl an All Pro team or a Super Bowl and according to the estimate of Eldorado this quarterback class was the second worst after 1996 3 Only first round pick Richard Todd who led the New York Jets to their first postseason appearances since Super Bowl III in 1981 and 1982 was ever a regular starter Five teams lost picks as a penalty for illegally signing former World Football League players the New York Giants and Chicago Bears lost sixth round picks the Washington Redskins lost their seventh round pick and the Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets lost their tenth round selections 4 The college draft was originally scheduled for February 3 4 but was postponed when the owners of the Seahawks and Buccaneers filed a lawsuit against the players union with worries that the organization would try to prevent the expansion draft The court case delayed both the expansion draft and the annual college draft 5 Contents 1 Player selections 1 1 Round one 1 2 Round two 1 3 Round three 1 4 Round four 1 5 Round five 1 6 Round six 1 7 Round seven 1 8
