The CFL 2021 Draft Is Tonight
May 4, 2021 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
Edmonton Elks News Release
(Edmonton) - The 2021 CFL Draft begins tonight at 5 p.m. MT. The first two hours of the draft will be broadcast on TSN1 and TSN3. The remainder of the draft can be followed on the CFL's Official Draft Tracker here.
The 2021 CFL Draft will feature several changes over previous years. The draft will only be six rounds long, rather than the traditional eight rounds, due to 2021 training camps featuring two full draft classes of Canadian rookies (2020 and 2021). The draft will also follow a "snake draft" format, with the order alternating at the top of each round.
The EE Football Team currently holds the following selections:
- 1st Round: 5th pick, 5th overall
- 2nd Round: 5th pick, 14th overall
- 3rd Round: 5th pick, 23rd overall
- 4th Round: 5th pick, 32nd overall
- 5th Round: 5th pick, 41st overall
- 6th Round: 5th pick, 50th overall
