2011 NFL Draft Guide
(The Spread) – The 2011 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, so we’ve put together a guide complete with TV viewing information, facts and much more.
The 2011 NFL Draft will take place on April 28 and run through April 30. The first round will take place at 8:00PM ET on Thursday, April 28, while the second and third rounds will start and conclude on Friday, April 29 at 6:00PM ET.
The final rounds (4 through 7), will take place on Saturday, April 30, starting at 12:00PM ET. All seven rounds will take place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York and be shown on ESPN and the NFL Network.
Overview: This year’s event is shaping up to be the most unpredictable draft in decades due to the current NFL labor dispute. Usually by this time in April, teams have already addressed specific needs through free agency. But because free agency has been halted this year due to the CBA negotiations (or lack of negotiations), teams don’t know what they will and won’t be able to address outside of the draft.
There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding the top pick of the draft. The Carolina Panthers currently hold the No. 1 selection and while the majority of draft observers believe they’ll take quarterback Cam Newton, Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert, Alabama’s Marcell Dareus and LSU’s Patrick Peterson are possibilities as well.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the No. 1 overall pick, the top 5 this year has been extremely difficult to mock. Usually, draft enthusiasts have a good idea what players will go where in the top 4-5 picks, but this year has been a different story. It’s hard to predict what any team will do for sure.
