NFL Draft 2016: Second Round, Third Round Order, Start Time, TV Channel
The first round of the 2016 NFL Draft was filled with controversy and surprises. On Friday night in Chicago, more unexpected moves could be in store, as teams select players from the second and third round in what many scouts feel is a deep draft class.
UCLA linebacker Myles Jack was a projected top-five pick just a few weeks ago and remained high on some teams’ draft boards even after a medical re-check of his knee. But his recent admission that surgery might be needed scared off many teams.
“[The degenerative problems are] there, but it’s nothing extreme,” Jack said via the New York Post. “Down the line, possibly I could have microfracture surgery — potentially. Who knows what will happen?
“Nobody knows how long anybody is going to play in this league. To play three years in this league would be above average.”
Like Jack, Alabama defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson somehow slipped out of the first round. Robinson was projected to go as high as No. 19 in some mock drafts, but remains available after four interior defensive linemen were taken in the first round.
The first round only had 31 picks, as the New England Patriots were stripped of their first-round pick because of "Deflategate," but they have four selections Friday. The Patriots have back-to-back picks at No. 60 and No. 61, and they also have two third-round picks.
The third round features one fewer pick than usual. The Kansas City Chiefs were forced to forfeit their selection because they broke the NFL’s tampering rules in their attempt to sign wide receiver Jeremy Maclin last year.
Quarterbacks Jared Goff and Carson Wentz were the first two picks in the first round, while Paxton Lynch went to the Denver Broncos, who traded up to No. 26. Four notable quarterbacks could be drafted Friday with Connor Cook (Michigan State), Christian Hackenberg (Penn State), Dak Prescott (Mississippi State) and Cardale Jones (Ohio State) still available.
With the No. 4 overall pick, the Dallas Cowboys drafted Ezekiel Elliott, who was the only running back taken on Thursday. Derrick Henry (Alabama) and Devontae Booker (Utah) are considered the next best rushers.
Day Two of the draft starts at 7 p.m. ET, and it will be broadcasted on both ESPN and the NFL Network. ESPN’s TV coverage shifts to ESPN 2 at 8 p.m. ET, and a live stream will be available online with WatchESPN.
