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.[3] The draft lottery was won by Green Bay, who selected halfback Paul Hornung.
