Still riding high off their team’s dominant performance in Super Bowl LIX, fans of the Philadelphia Eagles should have no problem staying up late for Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft.
As the reigning SB champs, the Eagles are currently scheduled to close out tonight’s broadcast with pick No. 32 overall. The draft’s first round is one of the major TV events on the annual sports calendar, and selections are spread out accordingly to allow for real-time analysis, reactions and player interviews.
Teams will be given 10 minutes between picks, and for the most part, those intervals hold true during Day 1 of the event. While the draft is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. (EST) at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, the Tennessee Titans aren’t expected to make their selection of Miami Hurricanes QB Cam Ward official until approximately 8:19 p.m.
Based on projections from James Coleman of the Palm Beach Post, the Eagles won’t be on the clock until close to midnight on the East Coast. Unless the team makes a trade up the draft board — which can never be ruled out with GM Howie Roseman — Philadelphia’s pick should be in at around 11:52 p.m.
Philly’s pick will end the NFL’s coverage until Friday evening, when the draft resumes with Rounds 2 and 3, starting once again at 8 p.m.
Teams will have seven minutes between selections in the second round, and five minutes in Round 3, so it could once again be a long wait for Eagles fans. Philly currently holds pick Nos. 64 and 96 on Day 2 of the draft.
