After months of waiting, the NFL Draft has arrived, and tonight we will learn who will be drafted where and which franchises will land the stars of tomorrow in the NFL. 

Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, Melvin Gordon and Dante Fowler. Those are just a handful of names that will be called on the first night of the NFL Draft, which begins in Chicago on Thursday night.

Tonight is the night we finally learn where the top college players in the country will be playing professionally in the NFL. The top prospects in the land are going to be turning into the next potential superstars in the NFL of tomorrow, as the NFL Draft remains a special and sacred day for football.

It’s not an official changing of the guard, as none of the players who walk across the stage have proven a thing yet, but it’s the first introduction of the players who will make up the game of tomorrow.

There are two ways to watch the NFL Draft, as both ESPN and NFL Network will be showing the even on their broadcasts. Both networks will be operating live from Chicago to bring us the draft, and it’s really a pick of the litter when it comes to how you want to watch the big event.

ESPN will have a live feed of the draft thanks to theft Watch ESPN app, which will even allow you to take in other action from around the ESPN family of networks as well, all at the same time.
