What time does the NFL Draft start? TV channels, how to watch, stream 2024 draft picks
The 2024 NFL Draft begins Thursday at 7 PM CT and could drastically change the lives of a few lucky college athletes.
Teams will have some of the best college players from the 2023-24 season to pick from, and with Texas sending 11 players to the draft, there will be action all three days. That's what happens when a team led by Steve Sarkisian ends the year with a 12-2 record and a College Football Playoff appearance - teams get interested in your players.
Which teams? No one knows for certain. Some might go earlier, others might have to fight it out on a practice squad. It'll all be decided from April 25-27.
