One of the few offseason dates every NFL fan has circled on the calendar appears Thursday.
The first round of the 2019 NFL draft takes place Thursday night in Nashville, with the Arizona Cardinals kicking off the festivities with the No. 1 overall pick.
The opening round is the main spectacle, and it will attract the most fans, but there are many diehard NFL fans who will stick around for all three days of the draft.
The second and third rounds take place Friday, while the final four rounds will occur Saturday.
