NFL Draft 2016: First Round Start Time, TV Schedule, Online Streaming and More

The 2016 NFL Draft begins tonight from the Auditorium Theater in Chicago, Illinois.  The New Orleans Saints are currently slated to pick at the 12th spot, but of course that could change depending on any trades.

As usual, ESPN and NFL Network will air the draft simultaneously.  Below are listed all of the on-air personalities that will appear for their respective networks.  Depending on who we like or dislike, you can choose which network you would prefer to watch the draft on.  Another factor in the decision may be the fact that NFL Network has the right to perform the first interview with the new draftees, while ESPN will perform their interviews second.
