Quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are being eyed as likely top picks in the forthcoming NFL draft. However, there remains uncertainty about whether either athlete—or any quarterback for that matter—will claim the coveted No. 1 overall spot. The draft, marking a major event in the NFL calendar, is slated to occur over three days from April 24-26 at Lambeau Field, located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the home turf of the iconic Green Bay Packers. Below is a handy guide to what you can expect from this much-anticipated sports event.
**When is the NFL Draft?**
Kicking off with its first round on Thursday, April 24, the draft will begin at 8 p.m. ET. The excitement continues into the second and third rounds, scheduled for Friday, April 25, beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Finally, the fourth through seventh rounds will be held on Saturday, April 26, starting at noon ET.
**How to Watch the NFL Draft**
The entire draft event will be broadcast live, allowing fans to tune in via ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network, ensuring wide accessibility for enthusiastic followers of the sport.
**Potential Top Picks in the NFL Draft**
Both Ward and Sanders headliner as top quarterback prospects in this year’s draft. However, unlike past years where quarterbacks like Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Bryce Young, and C.J. Stroud dominated top draft picks, there’s potential for a shift. Highly rated talents such as edge rusher Abdul Carter and versatile athlete Travis Hunter could see a non-quarterback clinch the No. 1 overall selection, a feat not seen since defensive end Travon Walker’s selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2022.

The following teams currently hold the top 10 picks in this year’s draft, reflecting selections from the first round of the 2024 draft:
1. Tennessee Titans

5. Jacksonville Jaguars
6. Las Vegas Raiders
7. New York Jets
8. Carolina Panthers

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the choices unfold and which teams will strengthen their ranks through promising new talent.
