First round picks include both team-assigned picks from original draft order PLUS compensation picks from competitive balance system or loss of free agents. These 'sandwich' picks are typically considered to be between rounds, however TBC has classified them only with the numeric portion of the round name (1 instead of 1C)

Players are listed with 2 positions. Draft Position (d-pos) is the listed position at the time of the draft whereas position (pos) is current.
