Most sportsbooks do not offer odds on which specific player will be the last pick, but some do offer odds on which position Mr. Irrelevant will represent. Below are current NFL Draft odds by position for this year’s final pick.

Mr. Irrelevant history

The tradition of announcing a Mr. Irrelevant for each NFL draft is widely considered to have started in 1976, popularized by former 49ers wide receiver Paul Salata. Some players selected as Mr. Irrelevant have gone on to play important roles on NFL teams, including playing in Super Bowls as well as Pro Bowls.

In recent years, quarterbacks and tight ends have been the most common position selected last, but even those margins are slim. The outcome is heavily dependent on which team picks last, what that team’s needs might be, and who’s left on the board by then. Currently, the New York Jets have the last pick in this year’s draft.

Here’s a look at recent selections for Mr. Irrelevant.
