Get ready for the Draft with a full schedule of events and TV broadcasts.

The 2016 NFL Draft is almost upon us, so ti's time to take a close look at the draft schedule and TV broadcasts in order to plan out the week. 2016 marks the seventh year that the draft takes place over three days and occupies prime time slots, a process that started with the 2010 Draft.

This is also the second year that the draft will be held in Chicago. The event was moved there last season after a long tenure at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The Green Bay Packers are currently scheduled to be on the clock late in the first round on Thursday, with pick #27 likely coming up sometime around 9:00 PM Central time.

The first round of the draft gets underway Thursday evening, when 31 picks will be announced.

Both ESPN and NFL Network will be covering the draft, with plenty of pre-draft coverage taking place throughout the day.
