List of Wisconsin Badgers in the NFL draft

[3] Wisconsin's first drafted player in the NFL was Eddie Jankowski, who was the 9th overall pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1937.

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).

[4] 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.

As part of the merger agreement on June 8, 1966, the two leagues would hold a multiple round "common draft".
