The NFL Draft starts up at 8 pm on Thursday with the first round from Radio City Music Hall in New York, but that doesn't mean that fans will have to wait that long to start reading or hearing about coverage early in the day as the NFL Network has all the pre coverage.
The channel is offering the 2013 NFL Draft Kickoff show at 1 pm on Thursday to start things off and the NFL Network will have a number of coaches and decision makers on board to chat, including the Chiefs' Andy Reid, along with the Denver Broncos' John Elway, the Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Jones, the Oakland Raiders' Dennis Allen and St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead along with others to debate about mock picks and trades that could happen.
The Chiefs start off the draft and according to reports they already have made their decision about the number one pick and it is likely Eric Fisher or Luke Joeckel, leaving Lane Johnson as the third best rated lineman in the draft. The Jaguars and Raiders follow before the Eagles and the Lions pick in the first round and the top 10 is rounded out by the Browns, Cardinals, Bills, Jets and Titans.
The draft pool is deep this season, which means that many teams will be looking to trade down and reports say that the 49ers and Vikings will trade up. The Jets may also be making some moves on Thursday, as they have two number one picks after the Darrelle Revis deal.
