“The 2025 NFL Draft is now officially open. The Tennessee Titans are on the clock.”

Those words will be uttered by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday, likely in front of a booing crowd outside of Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

It’s a moment that marks the culmination of years of hard work and dedication for the draft hopefuls. All that time was spent working towards these three days in April.

Yet this is only the beginning of the journey for many, who will go on to do so much more.

Some will become your favorite players, others will be hated rivals. There will be Super Bowl heroes and fantasy football legends. Good players and great players.

No matter what, the draft charts a new path forward in NFL history and it only takes about 47 hours to accomplish that.

Here’s everything to know about the 2025 NFL Draft, including draft order, dates, start times and TV schedule.
