The '''[[2006 CFL season|2006]] [[CFL draft]]''' took place on Thursday, April 20, 2006.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120721154249/http://www.cfl.ca/article/braidwood_chosen_first_overall Braidwood chosen first overall]</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20120729133404/http://www.cfl.ca/article/live_chat_on_cfl_ca Live chat on CFL.ca]</ref> 50 players were chosen from among eligible players from [[CIS football|Canadian Universities]] across the country, as well as Canadian players playing in the [[NCAA]]. Trades that occurred with the now defunct [[Ottawa Renegades]] were still valid, adding picks to both the second and fourth rounds, but any selections that were still held by the Renegades were justly skipped.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cfl.ca/article/renegades_operations_suspended_for_2006 |title=Renegades operations suspended for 2006 |access-date=2017-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201194010/http://cfl.ca/article/renegades_operations_suspended_for_2006 |archive-date=2014-02-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[http://www.lcf.ca/uploads/assets/LCF/PDF_Docs/2012/2012_ECamp_Guide.pdf 2012 Evaluation Camp Guide]{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Of the 50 draft selections, 26 players were drafted from [[Canadian Interuniversity Sport]] institutions.
