According to Yahoo! Sports (https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-may-revisit-green-room-161222499.html), 21 players made it to the green room, but 5 of them didn’t get drafted in the first round. That’s a whole 25%. I can understand their reasoning for inviting more than they’ll end up choosing, but I hope they are clear with these guys about what they can expect upfront.

misleading title... they all got drafted. just not in that round. and they're technically welcome to sit in the green room on day 2

I believe the NFL has made a bit of an effort to make sure some players are still in the green room on Day 2. Before, if it were like 10 guys, then you were expecting them all to go high. It was a slight to fall far. But with 21 guys? Can't believe they'll all get drafted every year.
