The 2025 NFL draft takes place April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. NFL Network, NFL+ and ESPN will have live coverage on all three days, including Day 1.
The first 18 picks in the draft are determined by the regular season record of each team (with tiebreakers if teams finish with the same record). After that, the remaining picks are set according to how teams were eliminated during the previous season’s playoffs: the teams that lost their wild-card round draft next, followed by the divisional runners-up, then the conference championship winners, and finally, the Super Bowl champions get the last pick.
This year’s NFL draft features a handful of intriguing prospects, but the class may be strongest at running back. Ohio State’s Michael Carter is a powerful, multi-purpose back who excels in the pass game and in short-yardage situations. Stanford’s Jonathan McMillan is another big-play threat who can help any offense.
But there are many more interesting prospects to keep an eye on, including Michigan’s Mason Graham. A well-rounded player, Graham has the speed to evade blocks and the strength to overpower offensive linemen. He could be an impact starter at the next level.
