Here’s your final primer on how to tune in for tonight’s first round.

The NFL Draft is finally here — the wait is down to hours and minutes instead of days. Tonight, round one kicks off the 2024 draft from the home city of one of the Green Bay Packers’ NFC North rivals, one year before the Packers themselves will host the 2025 version of the event.

The Packers sit at pick number 25 heading into the evening, but with plenty of resources to move up the draft board if they so choose. Green Bay has four day-two picks — 41 and 58 in the second round plus 88 and 91 in round three — should they decide to get aggressive for a player of their choice tonight.

The number one pick in the draft is not in doubt, however, as Caleb Williams from USC will all but assuredly go to the Chicago Bears. After that, however, it gets interesting: which quarterbacks will go off the board, and in what order? Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye appear to be the leading candidates at 2 and 3, but who will go where is very much uncertain. DraftKings sportsbook currently sees Daniels as the favorite at #2, with Maye leading the way in the odds at the third overall pick.

Of course, there’s only one way to find out what will happen, and that’s to wait and tune in tonight. Here’s how to do just that.
