The National Football League Draft is the annual meeting of the NFL hosted every year where the teams pick new fresh players out of college. The Draft is a crucial step in restructuring a team and planning for the next season by replenishing voids and weak areas with new talent.
Each team is assigned a draft position based on the reverse order of its record from the previous season. It means that the team with the worst record selects first, while the Super Bowl champion picks last. From their designated position, teams can either select a player or trade their draft slot to another team in exchange for different draft picks, players, or a combination of both. A draft round is considered complete once every team has either made a selection or traded its position.
In 2025, the Tennessee Titans will pick first after finishing the past season as the worst performers. They finished last in the AFC South with three wins and fourteen losses. Their wins came against the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, and an upset win over Houston Texans.
The Titans would be picking first overall for the first time after relocating to Nashville. Although they finished last in 2016, they traded the first pick to the Los Angeles Rams who picked Jared Goff with it. The Philadelphia Eagles will pick the last after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl LIX.
The NFL Draft was first held in 1936 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and has taken place annually ever since. The Eagles drafted first selecting Jay Berwanger, the then reigning Heisman trophy winner. Berwanger, however, never played in the NFL due to a salary dispute.
When is the 2025 NFL Draft taking place?
The NFL Draft will run from April 24 to April 26. The first round of seven will take place on the first day. Rounds 2 and 3 are supposed to take place on the second day, and the remaining four rounds will finish out the event on April 26.
Where will the 2025 NFL Draft take place?
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held at the Lambeau Field, home to the Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin and the adjacent Titletown district. In its long history, Green Bay is hosting the Draft for the very first time, becoming the fourteenth city to ever host the event.
