The NFL Draft is an annual event where teams from the National Football League select eligible college football players to join their rosters. It typically takes place in late April and consists of seven rounds, allowing each team to pick new talent to improve their squad. Teams evaluate players through a combination of their college performance, physical abilities, and interviews. The draft order is determined by the previous season's standings, with the worst-performing teams picking first. This process helps maintain competitive balance within the league by giving struggling teams the opportunity to acquire top prospects.
