How to follow the NFL Draft on Sky Sports

With the 2018 NFL Draft a week away, we will have all bases covered on Sky Sports as the best players in college football have their fate determined.

Despite a glorified "picking first in the school playground" style, the draft - which sees the best players graduating out of college enter the NFL - has become a showpiece event for the sport, and rightly so.

After last year's extravaganza in Philadelphia, the roadshow rolls into Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium and the occasion looks to be full of intrigue.

Last year Myles Garrett was the consensus choice as the No 1 pick and the Cleveland Browns duly obliged. The Browns are back at first pick but have a new GM in John Dorsey. Will they go quarterback, best player or could they even trade out of the top spot?

It's draft class loaded with potential and there are a host of teams in need of QBs, so trades could be in the offing adding to the drama of the picks themselves.

Here's how you can keep up to date and follow the action with us........

On Sky Sports

With Dallas set to host the biggest and best NFL Draft yet, Sky Sports coverage this year is going to the next level with a host of programming to support three days of live coverage as the franchises make their picks.

Neil Reynolds will be joined by a host of names, including Jeff Reinebold and Solomon Wilcots as well as some familiar friends.

Whether it's hot takes, mirth or expert opinion we will hear from the Around the NFL podcast heroes on what to expect in Dallas.

Once the action is over MMQB's Peter King will join us to reflect on whose draft went well and those for whom things did not turn not so well.
