A total of 80 picks were made with rounds 1 and 2 on Sunday night, as well as compensatory and competitive balance rounds. The draft resumes on Monday with rounds 3-10 before ending with rounds 11-20 on Tuesday. The draft was reduced from 40 rounds to five rounds in 2020 as a cost-cutting move during the pandemic, but was raised to 20 rounds last year. This will be the new benchmark going forward.
