The NFL Draft will be held at Kansas City’s Union Station, on Thursday, April 27. The draft will be streamed on fuboTV (free trial), Sling (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

The Carolina Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick and, as usual, a lot of the hype surrounds the quarterbacks. Alabama’s Bryce Young is expected to be the Panthers’ pick, but there are plenty of storylines surrounding Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, Kentucky’s Will Levis and Florida’s Anthony Richardson.

Not every team has a draft pick in the first round. The Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers will sit the first night out unless they make a trade.

Four of the five teams are out of the first round because of trades. The one exception is the Dolphins. The NFL punished the franchise by taking away its 2023 first-round and 2024 third-round pick after a probe found the team tampered with quarterback Tom Brady and coach Sean Payton.

When is the NFL Draft?

The NFL Draft is set for Thursday, April 27, at 7 p.m (8 p.m. ET).
