Here바카라 게임 웹사이트s everything you need to know about this year바카라 게임 웹사이트s NFL Draft:
The first round of the will be held on Thursday, with the second and third rounds taking place on Friday and the remaining four rounds happening on Saturday.
Like years prior, the draft is set to be a huge event with fans from all across the U.S. traveling to Green Bay, Wisconsin, to watch names being read out by commissioner Roger Goodell and others, with the event being held outside the famous Lambeau Field, home of the Packers.
Intrigue at top of first round
Although there is a consensus No. 1 overall pick in many people바카라 게임 웹사이트s eyes, lots of questions still remain about the other selections in the first round.
Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward is widely expected to be drafted by the Tennessee Titans with the first pick as the clear cut best quarterback in the class and with the franchise in dire need of a difference-maker at the position.
While he still has room to grow, NFL draft expert that Ward could have a 바카라 게임 웹사이트very high ceiling바카라 게임 웹사이트 if he can be 바카라 게임 웹사이트reined in바카라 게임 웹사이트 from his gunslinging nature.
Outside of Ward, draft analysts have no consensus on who will go where at the top of the first round.
The second and third picks 바카라 게임 웹사이트 held by the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants respectively 바카라 게임 웹사이트 are predicted by many to be filled by the two highest-rated players in the entire draft: and Abdul Carter.
Hunter, who could become the first full-time two-way player in NFL history having excelled at both wide receiver and cornerback with the Colorado Buffaloes, is coming off a Heisman Trophy-winning season.
Under head coach Deion Sanders, Hunter blossomed into a superstar with 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns on offense as well as 15 passes defended, four interceptions and a game-winning forced fumble on defense.
There are still question marks over whether Hunter바카라 게임 웹사이트s two-way game will translate to the NFL or whether his coaches will prefer to have him specialize on one side of the ball, but the 21-year-old has shown he possesses all the skills to be a game-changer wherever he is deployed. In fact, Browns general manager Andrew Berry called Hunter a 바카라 게임 웹사이트unicorn바카라 게임 웹사이트 player in a .
Carter is also expected to be picked near the top of the draft having had a stellar 2024 season with Penn State; the pass rusher led the FBS with 23.5 tackles for loss and ranked seventh with 12 sacks as he went on to be named a First-Team AP All-American.
At one point, the 21-year-old was slated to go first overall, but Ward바카라 게임 웹사이트s rise has dropped Carter down mock drafts. Carter didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t workout during the pre-draft process due to a shoulder injury, but he is widely expected to be an impactful defensive lineman from the get-go.
The other high-profile name who will be selected near the top of the first round is running back Ashton Jeanty after a historic season at Boise State.
Jeanty바카라 게임 웹사이트s skillset of vision, speed, ability to break tackles and powerful blocking makes him the perfect all-round running back. In his final season at Boise State, he led the NCAA with 2,601 rushing yards 바카라 게임 웹사이트 finishing just 28 yards short of breaking Barry Sanders바카라 게임 웹사이트 single-season rushing record set in 1988 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and scored 29 rushing touchdowns as he finished second in Heisman Trophy voting.
NFL analyst Jeanty to LaDainian Tomlinson during the draft process, high praise with the former San Diego Charger바카라 게임 웹사이트s standing as an all-time NFL great, MVP and Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Outside of those four, there are plenty of other college stars to keep an eye on.
Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham is a well-rounded prospect who will be picked near the top of the first round.

He possesses the speed to evade blocks, the strength to overpower offensive linemen and the motor to outlast his opponents.
A polarizing prospect in the draft process has been quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders.
While he has plenty of attributes necessary for NFL success 바카라 게임 웹사이트 accuracy and poise in the pocket 바카라 게임 웹사이트 experts say Sanders has several things to improve upon for him to be a top-level star.
His name-brand alone means he바카라 게임 웹사이트s had plenty of attention and, with plenty of quarterback-needy teams near the top of the first round, Sanders will still likely go inside the top 10 picks.
Another big name to keep an eye on near the top of the first round is Penn State tight end Tyler Warren.
