what time is the first selection of the nfl draft
2018 NFL Draft The 2018 NFL Draft was the 83rd annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players for the 2018 NFL season. The draft was held on April 26â€“28 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and was the first draft to take place in an NFL stadium and the first to be held in Texas, which won out in a fourteen city bid.[3][4][5] In order to be eligible to enter the draft, players must be at least three years removed from high school. The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft was January 15, 2018.[6]
Bert Bell Bell's implementation of the draft did not show immediate results,[184] but it was "the single greatest contributor to the [league]'s prosperity" in its first eighty-four years.[185] His original version of the draft was later ruled unconstitutional,[186] but his anchoring of the success of the league to competitive balance has been "hailed by contemporaries and sports historians".[187] Bell had often said, "[o]n any given Sunday, any team in the NFL can beat any other team."[188]
