During the NFL offseason, the most exciting event is the NFL Draft, which takes place towards the end of April each year. This is the time when college athletes who are eligible to be drafted into the NFL, have all the spotlight on them.

The NFL Draft takes place on the last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in April. The first round is on Thursday, the second and third rounds are on Friday, while rounds 4 to 7 are on Saturday. To be eligible for the NFL Draft, a player must either be a redshirt sophomore, junior, or senior. Once you declare for the draft, a player is not allowed to go back and play college football.

The 2024 NFL Draft will be held from Thursday 25th of April 2024 till Saturday 27th of April 2024. The location of this year’s draft will be Campus Martius Park, Hart Plaza in Detroit, Michigan. It will be yet another exciting draft in 2024 as it is touted to be a deep class for wide receivers, quarterbacks, and even offensive linemen. That is not to take anything away from the other position groups as each position has multiple talented players as well.
