1957 NFL draft

The 1957 NFL draft had its first four rounds held on November 26, 1956, at the Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia, and its final twenty-six rounds on January 31, 1957, at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, also in Philadelphia.

This was the 11th year that the first overall pick was a bonus pick determined by lottery. With the previous ten winners ineligible for the draw, only the Chicago Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers had an equal chance of winning. The draft lottery was won by Green Bay, who selected halfback Paul Hornung.
