It’s finally here. The 2025 NFL Draft kicks off tonight at 5pm Pacific (8pm ET). You can follow along on social media or watch the action unfold on NFL Network and ESPN.

As is always the case, the draft doesn’t start promptly at 5pm. There is always a bunch of ceremonial things that delays things. You can expect the number one overall pick to happen at about 20 minutes after the hour.

Once each team makes their pick, the next team will be on the clock with a maximum of ten minutes. But teams don’t always take all the time allotted to them.

The Raiders pick at sixth overall. So, if you want to be sure you catch the pick, tune in or log on at about…

5:45pm (8:45 pm ET).

And if they make a trade, then a good rule of thumb would be to multiply the number of picks by five if you wish to make sure you’re back to catch the pick at whatever their new slot is.
