What is the NFL Draft?
The NFL Draft is an annual event in which the 32 teams that make up the National Football League (NFL) select college football players to join their ranks. It is usually held in late April or early May, and the first two rounds are broadcast live on television.
The draft order is determined by the previous year’s standings, with the worst team picking first and the best team picking last (though there are some deviations from this rule, such as when teams trade draft picks). Each team is allowed ten minutes to make their pick in each round.
Some of the most successful NFL players have been drafted in later rounds, or not at all. Tom Brady, for example, was a sixth-round pick in 2000; Pro Bowlers Arian Foster and Wes Welker were undrafted free agents. But for every late-round success story, there are plenty of first-round busts.
