A look at how to watch the 2016 NFL Draft Round 1 live stream online on Thursday, April 28
After almost three months since Super Bowl 50 was played, NFL fans finally get a taste of some pro football as the brightest stars from the college football ranks will start their journeys into the league at the 2016 NFL Draft. The action at Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University in Chicago will get underway on Thursday night, April 28 with Round 1 and the best prospects hearing their names called.
Even before Thursday, there’s been a lot of action in the 2016 NFL Draft in regards to trading picks. The Los Angeles Rams first sold the farm in regards to picks so that they could strike a deal with the Tennessee Titans to move up to the No. 1 overall pick. In the aftermath of that, the Philadelphia Eagles then felt compelled to pull off a trade to move up of their own as they struck a deal with the Cleveland Browns to move to the No. 2 overall pick.
The general consensus is that the reason the Rams and Eagles traded up in Round 1 the 2016 NFL Draft was to take the two top quarterbacks in this draft class in former Cal Golden Bears star Jared Goff and former North Dakota State Bison signal-caller Carson Wentz. After the first two picks, though, things seem up in the air for the most part and anything could happen—which means that fans won’t want to miss the action in Round 1 on Thursday night.
