Under the NFL constitution, the NFL Commissioner has the ability to not only take away picks but also change the order of a team’s draft picks if he finds that that team has committed certain acts that violated constitution. This link is a list of NFL draft pick forfeitures and penalties since 1936.
I didn’t know about the Patriots stashing a player for an entire season with fake concussion? Or, the Broncos not being charged with salary cap violations despite a two year effort to defer multimillion-dollar payments to Terrell Davis and John Elway (failed to submit NFL’s deferred compensation fund)? Nor, did I know about the instances where the commissioner swapped positions between teams when an infraction caused a competitive inequity.
It’s updated to present day.
