The first round of the Draft is held on Thursday night, with rounds two and three taking place on Friday night. The remaining rounds are held on Saturday afternoon.

What is the NFL Draft?
The National Football League Draft is an annual event in which the 32 NFL teams select newly eligible football players. It is usually held at the end of April or early May. The 2020 NFL Draft was held virtually for the first time in history due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NFL Draft is overseen by the Commissioner of the NFL. The order of selection is determined by a reverse-record order, meaning that the team with the worst record from the previous season will pick first and the team with the best record will pick last (32nd).
Once a team has selected a player, that player is considered to be “drafted” by that team and may not be selected by any other team in the draft. A total of 256 players (32 per team) are selected over seven rounds. These players typically come from college football programs, although some players have been drafted out of high school.
Players who have completed their college eligibility but have not been drafted are eligible to be signed as undrafted free agents by any team after the draft has concluded.

However, if the first round goes into Saturday morning, then the second day will start that afternoon.
