In the early hours of next Friday morning, the 2018 draft gets underway but we will have a host of content building up to the big night in Dallas
Wednesday 25 April 2018 19:33, UK
With the 2018 NFL Draft a week away, we will have all bases covered on Sky Sports as the best players in college football have their fate determined.
Despite a glorified "picking first in the school playground" style, the draft - which sees the best players graduating out of college enter the NFL - has become a showpiece event for the sport, and rightly so.
After last year's extravaganza in Philadelphia, the roadshow rolls into Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium and the occasion looks to be full of intrigue.
Last year Myles Garrett was the consensus choice as the No 1 pick and the Cleveland Browns duly obliged. The Browns are back at first pick but have a new GM in John Dorsey. Will they go quarterback, best player or could they even trade out of the top spot?
It's draft class loaded with potential and there are a host of teams in need of QBs, so trades could be in the offing adding to the drama of the picks themselves.
Here's how you can keep up to date and follow the action with us........
With Dallas set to host the biggest and best NFL Draft yet, Sky Sports coverage this year is going to the next level with a host of programming to support three days of live coverage as the franchises make their picks.
For the first time we will have a full preview show and will reflect on Day One and the whole three days once the circus rolls out of Arlington. All will be available On Demand.
Neil Reynolds will be joined by a host of names, including Jeff Reinebold and Solomon Wilcots as well as some familiar friends.
Whether it's hot takes, mirth or expert opinion we will hear from the Around the NFL podcast heroes on what to expect in Dallas.
Once the action is over MMQB's Peter King will join us to reflect on whose draft went well and those for whom things did not turn not so well.
With so much rumour about who goes where, possible trades and a number of interesting prospects we will keep an eye on the ever-changing news agenda at www.skysports.com/nfl.
We will hear from our experts with columns through the week with Neil Reynolds' mock draft giving us an idea of who could go where.
They will also be the usual raft of features and analysis for the beginners and experts alike to make sure they are up to speed throughout Draft week and afterwards when NFL rosters will start to look very different.
We will track the Draft across social media, we want you to get involved too with your thoughts so make sure you are following us @SkySportsNFL for a few teasers of our coverage as well you say on the talking points as the week goes by.
All three days of the NFL Draft are exclusively live on Sky Sports with opening night getting underway from 12.30am on Friday, April 27 on Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports Mix.
