The 32 professional franchises across the NFL are each assigned a number of NFL Draft picks to select the best and brightest for their rosters ahead of the 2023 season.

Teams who finished last season with the worst records are handed priority positions to select first, as the NFL bids to rebalance itself every year.

Reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, will pick last in the first round, with seven rounds of selections to take place and all kinds of wheeling and dealing, trading and shenanigans to occur throughout the process.

The NFL Draft is always a momentous event and for those able to stay up late, you won't be disappointed if you tune in to watch the drama unfold.
