One of the most anticipated days of the NFL calendar is upon us, and with one of more highly touted classes in recent memory, the 2021 NFL Draft will leave some fan bases with a ton of hope. Others, with tons of questions.
The first round gets going live from Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday, April 29 at 8 p.m. ET. By the time it’s all said and done Saturday, there will be 259 players given an opportunity to make their dream of playing professional football a reality.
The Jacksonville Jaguars get the first choice of the selection show, likely taking one of the hyped signal callers of the class deep in quarterback talent. From there, the chips will fall as they may, with in-draft trades and surprises inevitable.
