The National Football League  (NFL) have drafted  275 players who had played for the University of Arkansas  Razorbacks  since the league began holding drafts in 1936 .[ a 1] 1954 , when Lamar McHan  was selected by the Chicago Cardinals .[ 3] [ 4] Jack Robbins , who was the fifth overall pick by the Chicago Cardinals in 1938 .[ 5] 
Each NFL franchise  seeks to add new players through the annual NFL draft . The team with the worst record the previous year picks first, the next-worst team second, and so on. Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record, with any remaining ties broken by strength of schedule . Playoff participants  are sequenced after non-playoff teams, based on their round of elimination (wild card, division, conference, and Super Bowl ).[ 6] 
Before the AFL–NFL merger  agreements in 1966, the American Football League  (AFL) operated in direct competition with the NFL and held a separate draft . This led to a massive bidding war over top prospects between the two leagues. As part of the merger agreement on June 8, 1966, the two leagues would hold a multiple round common draft . Once the AFL officially merged with the NFL in 1970, the common draft simply became the NFL draft.[ 1] [ 2]
