The 1949 NFL draft was held on December 21, 1948, at The Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia.[1] The draft was preceded by a secret draft meeting held November 15, 1948, at the Hotel Schenley in Pittsburgh.[2]
This was the third year that the first overall pick was a bonus pick determined by lottery, with the previous two winners (Chicago Bears in 1947 and Washington Redskins in 1948) ineligible from the draw;[3] it was won by the Philadelphia Eagles, who selected center/linebacker Chuck Bednarik.
