Those without traditional cable can use services such as YouTube TV, Sling, and fuboTV to watch the 2022 draft. Fans can also tune in via the ESPN app for ABC and ESPN coverage. This is the case for all three days of coverage.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently on the clock and there is no indication of which way they will go. This is a sharp turn from last year, when Trevor Lawrence was the obvious pick at No. 1 overall.

The 2022 NFL Draft in general is unique in that there are so many question marks surrounding the supposed top prospects. The class is lacking a can't-miss quarterback and the No. 1 overall pick could be used on a variety of positions.

That is why it is so important to tune in and watch the drama unfold. The drama comes in the form of picks, trades, and player reactions to everything that goes down in the three-day event.

The 2022 draft begins Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET. Fans can tune in on ABC, ESPN, NFL Network, and do so via a long list of available streaming services. You won't want to miss a minute of the action.
