What is the NFL Draft?

The NFL Draft is where teams build for what’s next. All 32 teams take turns selecting new players to add to their roster. It’s an opportunity for teams to add new talent to their roster and build for the upcoming season and beyond.

Taking place over seven rounds, teams take turns at drafting one player per round, in reverse order of the previous season’s standings. Teams can also trade picks, moving up or down the order in exchange for players or picks in other rounds.

During each pick, a team has between 4 and 8 minutes, depending on the round, to make their selection from the available players. A total of 257 picks will be made in this year’s Draft.
