The drafting process has specific time limits for each selection. Teams will have 10 minutes per pick in Round 1, 7 minutes in Round 2, 5 minutes in Rounds 3 to 6 (including compensatory picks), and 4 minutes in Round 7.

As part of the overall league activities, the Cleveland Browns will welcome new fellow players returning to their CrossCountry Mortgage Campus starting April 22. They are scheduled to hold joint practices for their fifth consecutive year, and discussions are already underway regarding their upcoming No. 2 pick and other potential quarterback options.

Overall, the NFL Draft 2025 is shaping up to be a significant event for teams and players alike, as fans eagerly await to see where their favorite college stars will land in the professional ranks.
