Ohio State produced the most first-round selections (five), while Southern California produced the most overall selections (eleven). Twenty-seven compensatory and supplemental compensatory selections were distributed amongst seventeen teams; Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Tennessee each held three compensatory picks. The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season. As of 2026, only two players from the 2006 class remain active in the NFL through free agency: tight end Marcedes Lewis and placekicker Matt Prater.
