Most picks in the 2025 NFL Draft: Ravens, 49ers, Bills, Cowboys pace the league with double-digit selections image

The 2025 NFL Draft will begin on Thursday, April 24, as teams hope to find the next stars of the game to help turn around their franchise.

Heading into this year's draft, every team owns its first-round pick, the first time this has happened since 2002. After the first round, though, the draft will be all over the place. 

Every team starts out with seven draft picks in a given draft, one for each of the seven rounds. Unlike the MLB, teams in the NFL are free to trade draft picks. Typically, teams use their draft picks in trade packages to either acquire players or move up during the draft to take a prospect they really like. There isn't a limit on how many picks a team can have, but the more that a team acquires, the larger its rookie salary pool.
