Devavrat Kulkarni

The countdown for round one of the 2025 NFL Draft has already begun!

The NFL draft for the 2025 season will be upon us in a matter of just a few days. As preparations for the big three-day event continue to take place at and surrounding Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, NFL franchises are busy putting together their final plans of which players they would like to target in the draft. 

The entire seven-round draft process will take place over the course of three days, with round 1 happening on Thursday, April 24, rounds 2 and 3 to be held on Friday, April 25, and the remaining rounds 4-7 to be held on Saturday, April 26. Even though the league schedules the draft for three days, it is generally round 1 occurring on the first day which generates the most excitement and euphoria amongst fans and the media alike.
