NFL Draft 2018 TV Schedule: Three Days, Seven Rounds, Five Different Networks
The NFL Draft is perhaps the biggest sports event in which nothing really happens. Some names are read, new hats are worn, football jerseys are held up for photo ops, and every NFL fan has already made up his or her mind about how great or terrible a selected player is before he has even stepped on the field.
The first round of the 2018 NFL Draft takes place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Thursday, April 26, beginning at 8/7c. The NFL Draft will air on five different networks over three days and seven rounds. FOX and ABC are airing NFL Draft coverage for the first time.
The Cleveland Browns have the first overall pick, and they’ll look at top prospects like USC QB Sam Darnold, Wyoming QB Josh Allen, Penn State RB Saquon Barkley, Alabama DB Minkah Fitzpatrick, NC State DE Bradley Chubb and Notre Dame OL Quenton Nelson.
