The NFL Draft is tentatively scheduled for April 29-May 1, 2021 in Cleveland, Ohio. The event was originally supposed to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada but was moved due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This will be the first time Cleveland has hosted the draft since 1961.
How does the NFL Draft work?
The National Football League Draft is an annual event in which the 32 NFL teams select newly eligible players for their rosters. The draft order is determined by each team’s record from the previous year, with the worst team picking first and the champion picking last.
In recent years, the draft has been held in April. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 draft will be held in May. The specific date and location of the draft have not yet been announced.
Traditionally, the draft has been a two-day event, with rounds one through three being held on the first day and rounds four through seven being held on the second day. However, due to pandemic-related concerns, the 2021 draft will likely be abbreviated to one day.
During each round of the draft, each team is given 10 minutes to make their selection. If a team does not make their selection within that time limit, they forfeit their pick for that round.
