The clock is ticking toward the beginning of the 2011 NFL Draft, which kicks off Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on both ESPN and NFL network. The Carolina Panthers have the first pick overall and are expected to select Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, the Heisman Trophy winner.
The New York Giants select 19th this evening, and the New York Jets select 30th.
Numerous trades are expected as teams shuffle around the board trying to get into position to select the players they are really targeting in the first round, and maybe beyond. So, don't tune in late or you might miss some of the wheeling and dealing -- and your team's selection.
The draft continues Friday at 6 p.m. with rounds 2 and 3, and concludes Saturday with rounds 4-7 beginning at noon.
