You can stream the draft on Fubo, NFL+, or the ESPN App. The first pick is expected to be announced around 8 p.m. ET.
There are seven Notre Dame players that have been projected to possibly be drafted over the next three days:
Six Irish players were selected in the 2024 draft and 7 Irish players were selected in the 2025 draft, so this year seems like it will be in the same neighborhood. During the three year span in the 2019, 2020, and 2021 NFL Drafts, 21 Notre Dame players were selected.
