Although Wisconsin football went for its fourth consecutive season without a Badger being drafted in the first round, several notable players from around the Big Ten were selected in the first round of the NFL draft, including Michigan defensive end Kwity Paye and Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.

Players from Ohio State, Michigan, Northwestern, Penn State and Minnesota were drafted in the first round of the NFL draft.
