General Information - 2008 NFL Draft

The deadline for collegiate underclassmen to declare for the 2008 NFL Draft is January 15, 2008.

Though NFL Playoff results have yet to be determined, and pertinent coin flips have yet to take place, much of the 2008 NFL Draft order is already set. A currently up-to-date selection order for Round 1 can be found at:

It is also worth noting that some procedural changes have been instituted for the 2008 NFL Draft and beyond:

1) The first day of the Draft will only consist of Rounds 1-2, with Round 3 now moving to day #2 of the Draft.

2) The starting time for the first day of the Draft has been pushed to 3:00 PM ET from its traditional start time of Noon ET.

3) The time between picks in Round 1 will be cut from 15 minutes to 10 minutes in order to speed up the Draft. Likewise, the time between picks in Round 2 will decrease from 10 minutes to 7 minutes.
