NFL Draft 2015: TV schedule and start time for Friday’s 2nd and 3rd rounds

The draft continues on Friday night with two more rounds of exciting picks in Chicago.

The first round of the 2015 NFL Draft is in the books, but we've still got plenty of action left to watch on Friday night. The second and third rounds are set to begin in primetime at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, the first time the draft will be held in the Windy City in more than 50 years.

There's been no shortage of star players who have been taken in recent years on day two, including 2012 third-round pick Russell Wilson and 2013 second-round pick Le'Veon Bell, so make sure you don't miss a minute of the coverage.

The Tennessee Titans are on the clock with the 33rd overall pick to begin the second round. They nabbed their new franchise quarterback in Round 1 by drafting Marcus Mariota after months of speculation that they might trade the pick. With notable potential top prospects Landon Collins, Randy Gregory, Devin Smith and Dorial Green-Beckham all still on the board, the Titans could come away with a significant coup in the first two rounds.

The Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks both sat out the festivities on Day 1, having previously traded away their first-round picks, and will make their initial selections Friday in the second round.

Teams have seven minutes to make their selections in the second round and five minutes in the third round, so the pace of picks should be a bit quicker than Thursday. Last year, the second and third rounds combined to take four hours, 12 minutes, so you want to have your cooler fully stocked and plenty of snacks available for the night.

One fun part of the second round is that each team will have a former player announce its pick to give Roger Goodell a little break from the action. Fans across the country will have a chance to see some of their favorite players from the past.

You can watch full coverage of the draft on the NFL Network and ESPN/ESPN2, and both networks also will carry it on their online streaming services.
