How to watch the NFL Draft Round 1 live online

The buildup to this year’s NFL Draft was one of the most wild in recent memory, and now it’s time to see if all of that hype can deliver.

Two mammoth trades were made at the top of the first round, with the Los Angeles Rams trading up for the No. 1 overall selection. In exchange, LA surrendered its first-round pick (No. 15 overall), plus two second-round picks (43 and 45 overall) and a third-round pick (76), plus a 2017 first and third. The Titans sent a 2016 fourth- and sixth-round pick back to the Rams.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns made another blockbuster deal the following week. Cleveland shipped off the No. 2 pick and a 2017 fourth-round pick to the Eagles for the No. 8 overall pick as well as a third-round pick (No. 77 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 100 overall) from Philly this year. The Browns also receive Philadelphia’s first-round pick in 2017 and its second-round pick in 2018.
