What to expect from tonight's NFL draft
Fans can expect a lot of surprises during tonight's draft. This year's draft is one of the more unpredictable drafts of the past few years, and a lot of things could happen.
We could see many blockbuster trades go down tonight. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could be traded as he requested a trade from the Ravens in early March.
The San Francisco 49ers could also trade QB Trey Lance as they're committed to Brock Purdy going forward.
Just this morning, it was reported that the Commanders could trade DE Chase Young or Montez Sweat.
As many as four to five quarterbacks could be selected in the first-round of the draft tonight, and four could go into the top 10. Many teams could be looking to trade up in the draft, and trades during the draft are always unexpected.
The NFL draft produces many surprising moves, and tonight's should be like any other.
