This would be my 9th FL overall and #21 in the FL series based on NFL franchise's first-round draft pick history. I based the formatting and structure on the other 20 lists at Wikipedia:Featured lists#National Football League. As always, please let me know if you find any issues or anything that can be improved upon and I will do my best to respond and make changes as quickly as possible.

That's pretty much it from here. (For full disclosure: I offered Josh comments on this article off-wiki, on the discord prior to nomination). Eddie891 Talk Work 15:39, 17 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Ref 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 33, 36, 37, 40, 43, 44; add– Done with "Newspapers.com" instead of "Newspaper.com" (now refs 19, 26, 27, 28, 29, 35, 38, 39, 42, 45, 46). Thank you, I'll keep this in mind for future references I add from Newspapers.com.
Ref 20; add |url-access=subscription
– DoneRef 23; add author Max Demara and date=22 April 2019– Done (now ref 25)
Ref 30, 39; is there a better website name for this– (Now refs 32 and 39) There's nowhere I can find on-wiki to link to, but I have changed it from "=www.prosportstransactions.com" to "=Pro Sports Transactions". Is this acceptable?
Some refs have missing authors and dates. PLease add them.– I believe I've added them wherever possible now.
"is an annual event which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment", ref 8:
"is an annual event [...] which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment". This is verbatim from Ref 8.
"Detroit forfeited their 1966 first-round selection [...] to the Green Bay Packers as compensation for signing free agent Ron Kramer", ref 16:
"1966 The Lions forfeited their first-round selection to the Green Bay Packers as compensation for signing free agent Ron Kramer". Again this is verbatim.
"From 1947 through 1958 the first selection was awarded by a random draw. [...] By 1958 all twelve clubs in the league at the time had received a bonus choice and the system was abolished"Ref 12:
"From 1947 through 1958, the first selection of the draft was [...] awarded to the winner of a random draw. [...] The system was abolished after 1958, by which time all clubs had received a Bonus pick.". The first sentence is practically verbatim, and the second is moving the clauses of the source around.
Unfortunately I think this source review is going to have to be an oppose (see below) for now, based on the repeated evidence of close paraphrasing and verbatim text-lifting. I have not spot-checked all sources, so the problems could be more widespread. This will need to be fixed in all cases before I strike this !vote. Sorry,

"...is an annual event which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment"– That text is taken from and used on National Football League Draft. That text, in that exact phrasing, has existed at the page since May 18, 2018, which predates the article that's used as reference (February 18, 2021). Do you still think the text should be changed?
"Detroit forfeited their 1966 first-round selection [...] to the Green Bay Packers as compensation for signing free agent Ron Kramer"to
"Detroit traded their 1966 first-round selection (No. 8 overall) to the Green Bay Packers for the right to sign free agent Ron Kramer.". This is arguably a more accurate reflection of the exchange and I've added a couple sources that help to support that. I didn't realize the previous text used was present in a completely separate reference than what I used for that note.
I think that's all now. Schminnte [ talk to me 17:12, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
