The Browns have 11 picks in the 2010 draft, but only 1 first round pick. It shoudl probably between 4th and 10th overall, depending on whether they win their last game.
They have their regular 7 picks. But last offseason they traded a player to the Redskins for an extra pick. So they will be probably drafting 8 or 9 players.
Jaguars have 10 picks in the 2011 draft. They have 6 original picks (traded a pick for Smiley) but then they got two 7th rounders (Reggie Nelson and Anthony Smith) a 5th rounder (Quentin Groves) and the Saints did a draft day trade last year which got the Jags their 2011 4th round pick. That equals the Jaguars to 10 picks this year in the draft.
One possible reason - It may benefit from finishing the season last by being given the priority draft picks for next season. If a team is performing poorly near the end of a season, it may well want to ensure that it finishes last to get those best draft picks. Australian Rules football is one sport where the draft picks depend on performance, per the above.
I'll assume you are talking about the baseball draft, which is early June each year. The last day to sign draft picks is in Mid-August of the same year.
Don't know over the last 15 years...Duke currently has the most players active in the NBA (of ANY school). I researched back 20 years (starting with 1988 draft, but not including 2007 draft)and here we go: Duke: 18 North Carolina: 17 Arizona: 14 Kansas: 12 Georgia Tech: 11 Kentucky: 11 source: http://www.nba.com/history/draft_index.html
There is no doubt per capita it is Indianapolis, IN. In just the last three years, players such as Eric Gordon, Greg Oden, Mike Conely, George Hill, Courtney Lee, and Jeff Teague have been 1st round picks (Gordon, Oden and Conely lottery picks) in the NBA draft. Six players drafted in the first round from a city of barely 1.5 million in a span of 3 years is hard to beat. Several more such as Gordon Hayward and Marcus Teague will be NBA draft picks in the near future.

None; last draft was Vietnam...nearly 40 yrs ago.
By NFL rule, expansion teams are given the first selection in each round of the draft. The last expansion team in the NFL was the Houston Texans who began play in 2002. They were awarded the first selection in each round of the 2002 NFL Draft.
