Amid the hundreds of breakdowns and previews leading up to the 2019 NFL draft, it may seem like 100 different prospects have been mentioned as potential first-round picks.
But only 32 will hear their name called Thursday, April 25.
Because of the limited number of first-round slots, highly regarded prospects will drop. While that doesn't necessarily mean a slide entirely out of the opening day, a projected top selection could find himself waiting longer than anticipated.
Sometimes, though, it might end up working out better for the player, landing on a team ready to win immediately.
