NFL Draft 2018: Times for Colts Fans
By Ryan Stano
With the NFL Draft just a week away, here are some times that Colts fans should keep in mind during the festivities.
The 2018 NFL Draft will be next week. The first round starts on Thursday at 9pm. It will be shown on ESPN, as well as NFL Network and Fox. Thursday will be the only day that the first round takes place. Most drafts, the teams are given about 10 minutes to make their pick, so Colts fans should really tune in around 9:45-10pm to see who they take with the sixth overall pick.
With that in mind, trades could happen. The first round should go until around midnight. Rounds 2 and 3 will be Friday April 27th, and it will start at 7pm. Colts fans should tune in around 7:30 on the 27th for their second round picks They have the 36th, 37th, and 49th pick. Fans should also tune in for the 67th overall pick, which would occur around 10pm or so.
The rest of the draft continues on the 28th at noon. The Colts have four more picks during that time span that will occur all throughout the draft. Fans should tune in all throughout the day to see who the team takes.
The Colts will use this whole week leading up until Thursday to continue their scouting reports. GM Chris Ballard says that the team is prepared for whatever scenario happens for their first round pick. They will use this last week to shore up their gameplan for the rest of their picks.
