2018 NFL Draft: Seven-round draft order, location, times, dates, how to stream and watch
It's almost here. Only a few more days. That's when you'll hear the commissioner on stage for the start of this year's annual selection process saying the words:
"With the first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft ... "
What will the Cleveland Browns do with the first pick? For that matter, what will the Browns do with the fourth pick? Which quarterback will they take? Could they even take two quarterbacks?
We don't know what will happen in April's big prime-time event (this statement applies every year), but we're ready to rock in case our endless supply of mock drafts, prospect rankings and team previews didn't already make that clear.
When and where is the draft, though? How can you watch it? And what about the order of picks for all seven rounds?
Good thing you ended up here, because we've got it all covered.

Where is the 2018 NFL Draft?
After stops in Chicago and Philadelphia, the draft will be hosted by Dallas -- specifically, inside the Cowboys' AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Long held at New York's Radio City Music Hall, the event is expected to attract a record number of fans in Texas, where the NFL is trying to enable "the largest live audience ever to view" the draft as part of the event's first stop at an actual NFL team's stadium.
As our own John Breech detailed, the setup of this year's extravaganza features sections for each team's fan base and has the draft stage, where Commissioner Roger Goodell greets each selection, positioned directly on the AT&T Stadium turf.
