Draft years & coverage
Every draft phase on the calendar since 1965, with what BAI holds for it. Counts only: no rates are published.
A phase is complete only when every club that existed that year has a sourced census. “Expected” stays blank until then: one source's row count is not proof of the population. Months shown without a day are known only to the month.
2024: 131 of 615 documented selections are represented; 484 are absent. Of the 484 absent: 470 are not listed by BAI's source (a source gap); 14 listed selections are held for identity or collision review. An absent selection is not an unsigned player or a failed outcome, and no signing outcome may be inferred from a missing row. No league-wide or club-efficiency rates are published from this incomplete sample. For the incomplete 2024 draft, picks 1 to 74 are listed in full, but later-round entries are editorially selected notable players, not a representative sample.
2023: 161 of 614 documented selections are represented; 453 are absent. Of the 453 absent: 447 are not listed by BAI's source (a source gap); 6 listed selections are held for identity or collision review. An absent selection is not an unsigned player or a failed outcome, and no signing outcome may be inferred from a missing row. No league-wide or club-efficiency rates are published from this incomplete sample. For the incomplete 2023 draft, picks 1 to 70 are listed in full, but later-round entries are editorially selected notable players, not a representative sample.
2022: 178 of 616 documented selections are represented; 438 are absent. Of the 438 absent: 430 are not listed by BAI's source (a source gap); 8 listed selections are held for identity or collision review. An absent selection is not an unsigned player or a failed outcome, and no signing outcome may be inferred from a missing row. No league-wide or club-efficiency rates are published from this incomplete sample. For the incomplete 2022 draft, picks 1 to 80 are listed in full, but later-round entries are editorially selected notable players, not a representative sample.
2021: 205 of 612 documented selections are represented; 407 are absent. Of the 407 absent: 405 are not listed by BAI's source (a source gap); 2 listed selections are held for identity or collision review. An absent selection is not an unsigned player or a failed outcome, and no signing outcome may be inferred from a missing row. No league-wide or club-efficiency rates are published from this incomplete sample. For the incomplete 2021 draft, picks 1 to 71 are listed in full, but later-round entries are editorially selected notable players, not a representative sample.
