The 2018 NFL Draft will kick off on Thursday at 8pm ET, and here is how you can watch all three days of the action online.
On Thursday, April 26, the 2018 NFL Draft will begin festivities with the Cleveland Browns selecting the first overall pick. The action will continue through Saturday, with seven full rounds of draft prospects getting drafted into the NFL.
Last year, the Browns also selected first overall, taking Myles Garrett from Texas A&M. The 2018 NFL Draft has revolved around a handful of quarterback prospects, with at least four expected to go in the top-10 picks on Thursday night.
The top quarterbacks in this draft class are considered USC’s Sam Darnold, UCLA’s Josh Rosen, Wyoming’s Josh Allen, and Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield from Oklahoma. Also involved in the discussion is 2016 Heisman winner Lamar Jackson, who is coming off another solid season for the Louisville Cardinals.
In addition to the quarterbacks, there are also some generational talents at other positions. Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is considered the best prospect we have seen at his position in a long time, and Notre Dame offensive guard Quenton Nelson is an absolute beast.
Heading into the first round on Thursday, we have already seen teams jockeying for position at the front of the draft, with the New York Jets trading up from No. 6 to No. 3. In addition, the Buffalo Bills went from No. 21 to 12, as they are likely in the business of drafting a signal-caller.

The NFL Draft is never a perfect science, and as we saw last year, mock drafts are blown up by pick No. 3. We saw Chicago trade up one spot to get Mitchell Trubisky at No. 2, while teams like Kansas City and Houston also traded up to get their quarterback. Expect a lot of fireworks over the next three days.
