Now that the NFL season is over, the focus around the league is on the upcoming offseason. For many fans, this means the NFL Draft in April. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 NFL Draft, including the current draft order, dates, location, top prospects, and more.
When and Where Is the 2025 NFL Draft?
The 2025 NFL Draft will take place from Thursday, April 24, to Saturday, April 26. This is the draft’s traditional spot on the final Thursday in April. It is the second earliest draft in the past 15 editions, with only the 2020 edition starting on an earlier date (April 23).
Green Bay will host the 2025 NFL Draft at Lambeau Field and the adjacent Titletown District. This will be the first time that Green Bay has hosted the NFL Draft and the second time it has been hosted in Wisconsin. In 1940, the Schroeder Hotel in Milwaukee hosted the event.

Which Teams Have the Most Draft Picks This Year?
As things stand, the Cleveland Browns are projected to have the most draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, with 12.
The Browns have four of their original seven selections, a projected three compensatory selections, and five picks they have traded for. Cleveland still has its first four selections and has added an extra third-round pick courtesy of the Buffalo Bills (and a 2026 seventh-round selection) in the Amari Cooper trade, in which the Browns also gave up a sixth-round selection this year.
The Browns have also acquired a fifth-round pick from the Detroit Lions in the Za’Darius Smith trade. Intriguingly, Cleveland had previously given up its own 2025 fifth-round selection when they traded for Smith from the Minnesota Vikings.
The Browns also have the Miami Dolphins’, Minnesota Vikings’, and Detroit Lions’ sixth-round selections. Cleveland received the Dolphins' pick via the Chicago Bears in a trade for Chris Williams and the Browns' seventh-round selection. They acquired the Vikings’ pick in the trade for Smith in 2023 and the Lions' pick in the Cooper trade.
Which Teams Have the Least Draft Picks This Year?
The Vikings currently have the fewest picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, with four. They are one ahead of the Atlanta Falcons, who currently have five.
The Vikings still have their picks in the first and fifth rounds, a projected compensatory selection in Round 3, and a pick they acquired from the Browns in Round 5. Minnesota acquired that fifth-rounder in the trade for Smith back in 2023, which is also when they traded away their sixth and seventh-round picks this year.
The Vikings have traded away picks in the second, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh rounds. Their second-round pick was traded to the Houston Texans in exchange for a second first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Texans subsequently traded the pick to Buffalo.
Minnesota’s third and fourth-round picks this year were also traded away in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Vikings packaged the No. 23 overall selection they had acquired from Houston and combined it with their third and fourth-round picks from the 2025 draft to move up to No. 17 overall and select Dallas Turner.
The Falcons still have their picks in the first, second, and sixth rounds, a projected compensatory selection in Round 6, and acquired a pick from the Los Angeles Rams in Round 7.
Atlanta was stripped of its fifth-round selection for “improper contact” with Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and Charlie Woerner. The Falcons then traded away their third-round pick to the New England Patriots in the Matthew Judon trade, their fifth-rounder to the Rams in the Van Jefferson trade (Atlanta also acquired a seventh-round pick), and their seventh-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Kentavius Street trade.
