The draft festivities will unfold in and around Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza. This marks the inaugural occasion of the draft being held in the Motor City.

What time is the NFL Draft live on TV in Australia today?

Here in Australia the 2024 NFL Draft is scheduled to occur between April 26th and April 28th. Round 1 is set for Friday, 26 April, followed by Rounds 2 and 3 on Saturday, 27 April. Lastly, Rounds 4 through 7 will take place on Sunday, 28 April.

The Bears secured the top spot in the draft through a trade with the Panthers last year, exchanging for the 2023 No. 1 pick. This positions Chicago with the first and ninth picks in the draft.

By virtue of their records, the Washington Commanders will pick second and the New England Patriots will pick third. This is when it could get very interesting as the Patriots have been rumoured to be interested in trading their pick, for the right offer.

Meanwhile, the Vikings elevated into the first round earlier this offseason by obtaining the No. 23 pick from the Texans, previously held by the Browns. This grants Minnesota two first-round selections — No. 11 and No. 23.

Additionally, the Cardinals possess two first-round picks after acquiring the Texans’ original first-round pick last year when Houston moved up to No. 3 in the 2023 draft. Consequently, Arizona now holds the No. 4 and No. 27 picks.
