The NFL Draft is one of the most exciting times of the year for football fans. It’s a time when teams can improve their rosters through the addition of young talent, and fans can dream about their team’s future success. So, when is the NFL Draft 2024?
Introduction
The NFL Draft is an annual event in which the 32 teams of the National Football League (NFL) select newly eligible players for their rosters. The draft order is determined by each team’s record in the previous season, with the worst team selecting first and the best team selecting last (known as the “reverse standings order”). The draft occurs over three days, with Round 1 on Thursday night, Round 2 and 3 on Friday night, and Rounds 4-7 on Saturday afternoon.
The NFL Draft was first held in 1936, and has been held every year since. It is typically held in late April or early May. In recent years, the draft has been held in Chicago (2015-16), Philadelphia (2017), Arlington (2018), Nashville (2019), and Las Vegas (2020).
The 2024 NFL Draft will be held from April 25-27, 2024. The event will be hosted by a yet-to-be-determined city.
History of the NFL Draft
The National Football League Draft, also called the player selection meeting, is an annual event in which the National Football League (NFL) teams select eligible football players. It serves as the league’s most common source of player recruitment.
The basic design of the draft is that each team is given a position in the NFL draft order, which cycles annually between each team, and trades its position with another team for an equivalent position. The draft order is biased towards teams with worse records from the previous season; however, a team can improve its draft position via trades with other teams.
The first formal NFL draft was held on February 8, 1936,[1] at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia.
