Draft day is finally upon us and for what seems like the first time in months there is a true sporting event to watch on television tonight.

And the draft, as it is every year, is the one time where every team and fanbase comes away a winner, optimism which is dearly needed with the state of today’s world.

What will be interesting and captivating to watch in this year’s draft is how efficient and smooth the broadcast and proceedings will be as the event, like the rest of the country, is being held completely virtually.

 

How to watch

The first round of the draft is scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. ET tonight and will be broadcasted on ESPN, NFL Network and ABC. Streaming for those platforms will also be available on the WatchESPN and NFL Mobile apps.

Day two and three of the draft will begin on Friday, April 24, at 7:00 p.m. ET and Saturday, April 25, at noon ET respectively.

 

Wisconsin names to watch (and when to watch them)

Both Jonathan Taylor and Zack Baun both have a chance at being selected night one. If one or both of them fall out of the first round, them and Tyler Biadasz will likely be selected on day two. On day three the two names to look out for are Quintez Cephus and Chris Orr, as both project to be late-round selections.
