How Many Rounds of the NFL Draft Are There?

The NFL Draft is a seven-round event, with each team selecting one player in each round. However, teams are allowed to trade picks with other teams, so the actual number of picks in each round can vary.

Introduction

The NFL Draft is an annual event in which the 32 teams in the National Football League (NFL) select new players for their rosters. The draft order is determined by each team’s record in the previous season, with the team with the worst record picking first and the team with the best record picking last.

The first round of the draft is usually completed by late April, and each subsequent round is typically held on the following day. The draft typically lasts seven rounds, but it can be eight or even nine rounds long if teams use compensatory picks, which are additional picks that are awarded to teams whose rosters were depleted by free agency in the previous offseason.

The NFL Draft Process

The NFL draft is a multi-day event in which NFL teams select eligible college football players. The draft order is determined by the previous year’s standings, with the team with the worst record picking first and the team with the best record picking last.

Round 1

The first round of the draft is when the majority of the impactful players are found. Teams often trade up in this round to select their desired player, as many times there is a big drop-off in talent after the first 15 picks or so. This is where quarterbacks, running backs, and defensive studs are found. A total of 32 players are selected in this round, with each team having a pick. The order of this round is based on the previous season’s standings, with the worst team picking first and the Super Bowl winner picking last. Despite what many people think, there is no advantage to picking last in this round as most of the best players are gone by then anyway.

Round 2

The second and third rounds of the NFL Draft will be held on Friday, April 28. The order for the second and third rounds will be the same as the first round, with teams trading draft positions as they did in Thursday’s first round.

The second round will begin at 7 p.m. ET, and each team will have seven minutes to make their selection. The third round will begin immediately after the conclusion of the second round.

There are 32 picks in the second round and 31 in the third.

Round 3

The third round of the NFL draft is underway. Here’s a look at the draft order and some of the top prospects still available.

The NFL draft’s third round began Friday night, with the Cincinnati Bengals selecting Georgia linebacker Malik Herring at No. 65 overall.

There are 256 picks in the seven-round NFL draft, which means there are 32 selections in Round 3. The draft order for Round 3 is as follows:

Round 4

The fourth round of the NFL Draft is where teams really start to fill out their rosters with high-upside prospects. These are the players that they believe have the potential to be starters or key role players down the line, but who may need some time to develop. There are typically around 60-70 players drafted in round 4 each year.

Round 5

The fifth round of the NFL Draft lasts for only four rounds, with each team making one selection in each round. That means that there are only 32 picks in the fifth round of the draft, and that teams are often forced to reach for players they wouldn’t otherwise draft in order to fill needs. As a result, the fifth round is often considered to be the most “wild” round of the draft, and it’s not uncommon for players who were drafted in the fifth round to go on to have very successful NFL careers.

Round 6

The NFL Draft process begins with the NFL Scouting Combine, an event where college football players perform physical and mental tests in front of NFL coaches, general managers, and scouts.

Players are put through a series of drills such as the 40-yard dash and the bench press. They are also interviewed by teams. The combine is held in Indianapolis in February.

Players who do not receive an invitation to the combine can participate in their school’s pro day. Pro days are typically held in March or April.

The NFL Draft is held in April. It consists of seven rounds, with each team having one pick per round. Undrafted free agents can be signed after the draft.

Round 7

The Rookie Draft works differently than other rounds of the NFL Draft. Instead of each team getting a set amount of time to make their pick, the draft clock is turned off and each team is given 10 minutes to make their selection. This process repeats itself until all 32 teams have selected a player or have passed on making a selection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are seven rounds in the NFL draft. However, each team is only allowed to pick 256 players total. So, not every team will have a pick in every round.
