The 1947 NFL draft was held on December 16, 1946, at the Commodore Hotel in New York City, New York.[1][2]

The National Football League in this draft made the first overall pick, a bonus pick determined by lottery. The Chicago Bears won the first lottery, and used the pick to select halfback Bob Fenimore. This lottery process ended in 1958.[3]

This draft was the last time the Bears had the first overall pick in a draft until 2024.
