NFL Draft 2023 live stream (4/27): How to watch online for free, TV, time, draft order

The 2023 NFL Draft starts Thursday, April 27, from Kansas City. The draft will be streamed on fuboTV (free trial), Sling (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

While many expect to Alabama quarterback Bryce Young to go first overall to the Carolina Panthers.

The intrigue picks up from there at No. 2 where the Houston Texans are believed to pass on one of the quarterbacks and add help to their defense.

Both Mel Kiper and Todd McShay, in their final mocks, have moved Alabama’s Will Anderson to the No. 2 spot, giving Nick Sabans squad the first back-to-back selections to open the draft since 2000 when Penn State accomplished the feat.

Still, the draft, as always, belongs to the quarterbacks. Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, Florida’s Anthony Richardson and Kentucky’s Will Levis will be hoping to crack the top 10.

There are 31, not 32, selections to be made tonight. Here’s why.

Check out the complete first-round draft order below.
