The NFL Draft is streaming live online tonight at NFL.com making for yet another option to watch things unfold tonight if you don’t want to watch NFL Network or ESPN on your TV. You can view that live stream by clicking on this link with their coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.
We’ve been covering the draft for those interested so far this week to see where Jon Jones’ brother Chandler, a top defensive line prospect from Syracuse, will end up being drafted. As mentioned earlier today, most experts see Chandler being an easy first round pick, going somewhere between picks 15 and 20. We also discussed the UFC’s claim that the Jones brothers make up “America’s most athletic family” and how Chandler fits into that picture.
Given the amount of interest shown around Bloody Elbow in this draft, we’re going to provide you with live updates of each pick tonight and providing you with a place to talk about the draft with fans who aren’t going to be annoyed when you compare some defensive tackle’s body to Tank Abbott. So hang out with me tonight during the draft and talk nonsense
