How many rounds are in the NFL Draft?
The NFL Draft typically lasts for seven rounds, but it can be shorter or longer depending on how many compensatory picks are awarded.
Compensatory picks are awarded to teams that have lost more unrestricted free agents than they’ve signed from other teams during the previous offseason. These extra picks are spread out among the rounds, so the length of the draft can vary.
For example, the 2020 NFL Draft lasted for 254 picks over seven rounds. The 2021 NFL Draft is expected to have a similar number of selections.
What is the NFL Draft order?
The 2021 NFL Draft order will be determined by the results of the 2020 NFL season. The first 20 picks will be determined by inverse order of finish, with the playoff teams drafting 21st-32nd. The full draft order will be announced at a later date.
