The 1937 NFL draft was the second draft held by the National Football League (NFL). The draft took place December 12, 1936, at the Hotel Lincoln in New York City.{{cite web |url=http://www.footballgeography.com/nfl-draft-sites/ |title=NFL Draft Locations |author= |date=October 2, 2014 |website=www.footballgeography.com |access-date=October 23, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905090250/http://www.footballgeography.com/nfl-draft-sites/ |archive-date=September 5, 2015 |url-status=dead }}{{cite news|last1=Salomone|first1=Dan|title=NFL Draft headed to Chicago in 2015|url=http://www.giants.com/news-and-blogs/article-1/NFL-Draft-headed-to-Chicago-in-2015/3ac322b1-3b4c-4a16-aba7-6e08d31b1756|access-date=June 3, 2015|publisher=New York Giants|work=Giants.com|date=October 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930065327/http://www.giants.com/news-and-blogs/article-1/NFL-Draft-headed-to-Chicago-in-2015/3ac322b1-3b4c-4a16-aba7-6e08d31b1756|archive-date=September 30, 2015|url-status=dead}} The draft consisted of 10 rounds, with 100 player selections, two of which would later become members of the Professional Football Hall of Fame. Notable for this draft were the league's draft selections for a planned expansion team, the Cleveland Rams, who were admitted into the league prior to the 1937 season. The Philadelphia Eagles used the first overall pick to select back Sam Francis, but ended up trading him to Chicago Bears two months later.{{cite book|last=Lyons|first=Robert S.|date=2010|title=On Any Given Sunday, A Life of Bert Bell|location=Philadelphia|publisher=Temple University Press|ISBN=978-1-59213-731-2|page=70}}
