NFL Draft Start Time and Schedule
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held at historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay, continuing a recent trend of warm-weather cities getting the Super Bowl and cooler climates getting the draft.
The Tennessee Titans own the No. 1 overall selection and will be on the clock starting at 8 p.m. ET. For the first round, teams are given a maximum of 10 minutes to make their pick.
The second round will begin at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, and Day 2 will feature two rounds of selections. Things will wrap up with Rounds 4-7 on Saturday, starting at noon ET and concluding with “Mr. Irrelevant” at pick No. 257.
The 2025 NFL Draft will be broadcast on the NFL Network, ABC, and ESPN. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, and Sling TV are alternatives to catch the action. ESPN will also be livestreaming an alternate broadcast of the first round called “The Pat McAfee Draft Spectacular” across YouTube, TikTok, the ESPN app, and ESPN+.
What Time Will the Cowboys Make Their First-Round Pick?
With the No. 12 overall pick, the Dallas Cowboys figure to pick around 9:38 p.m. ET. That is an estimate based on them remaining in this position and each team taking seven-to-nine minutes per selection.
It’s worth noting that last year’s No. 12 overall pick was announced at 9:33 p.m. ET.
Of course, trades always occur, and some teams run to the podium faster than others. But if you tune in 10-15 minutes ahead of that estimation, you should be in a good spot to see this pick be made!
PFSN’s Latest Draft Projection for the Dallas Cowboys
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
With Jeanty off the board, the Dallas Cowboys shift their focus to another offensive playmaker. CeeDee Lamb hasn’t had a true No. 2 wide receiver since the team traded Amari Cooper.
Tetairoa McMillan is a big receiver with strong hands and ball skills. He’s fluid for his size and creates separation with his physical traits.
