The day NFL fans have been waiting for is finally here and ESPN will be covering the 2018 NFL Draft and fans need to know the channel.
The Super Bowl may have been in February but it feels like an eternity since NFL fans have had something to sink their teeth into. Sure, there was the normal free agency frenzy when teams threw money around like drunken sailors. Nothing quite beats the theater and the drama of the NFL Draft and that day has finally rolled around.
All the NFL fans out there can’t wait to see where the quarterbacks go in the first round. There is a real possibility that Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield could all go with the top four picks and that could send the rest of the first round into chaos. This draft is unique not because there are plenty of teams that need a quarterback, but there are four to maybe even six or seven players that could alter the path of a franchise one the next few years.
It’s a great year to be picking high and not need a quarterback because there’s going to be players that slide to spots they shouldn’t get to. Watching all that unfold in real time can be a lot of fun as teams set their immediate future in the span of a few minutes as they decide on the pick. Players like Bradley Chubb, Minkah Fitzpartick and Quentin Nelson all might go a few picks after they really deserve to be taken. Oh, there’s also this really good running back named Saquon Barkley that could literally go anywhere in the top 10 picks.
