NFL draft: First round TV schedule, live stream information
The 2015 NFL draft starts on Thursday night at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago.
The Buccaneers, who finished last season 2–14, have the first pick in the draft, which is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET. Tampa Bay is widely expected to select either former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston or former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota with the top pick. The Titans hold the No. 2 pick and have been mentioned in numerous trade rumors over the past few days.
Last season, the Houston Texans took defensive end Jadeveon Clowney with the No. 1 pick. The Giants selected offensive rookie of the year Odell Beckham Jr. with the No. 12 pick, and the Rams took defensive rookie of the year Aaron Donald a pick later.
The draft is the first since 2006 to be held somewhere besides Radio City Music Hall in New York. This year's draft occurs earlier than last year's, when a scheduling conflict moved it back to May 8-10.
