How to watch the 2021 NFL Draft live

This year’s NFL Draft is being held across 3 days once more, from April 29–1 May. In welcome news, players, coaches, officials and fans will be in attendance at the ceremony. This year it is being held at the Cleveland Browns’ home, FirstEnergy Stadium.

In a nod to the ongoing pandemic, there will be a Vaccinated Fan Zone in the stadium. But after last year’s event was held entirely online, having players take the stage as their names are called by commissioner Roger Goodell is a great result for all involved.

NFL Draft 2021 preview

With the NFL Draft being so large, predicting even the top five can be an inexact science. One certainty is that long-haired Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be taken with pick one by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He is one of a number of highly rated quarterbacks again this year, including Zach Wilson, Justin Fields and Mac Jones. The playmaking position is so valuable teams will do just about anything to get their hands on a coveted, or even potential, QB prospect. Once again of course there will also be a number of top guns at other positions.
