Summary

When the NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night from Las Vegas, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be first on the clock. What happens from there is pretty much anyone's guess.

Will Liberty’s Malik Willis or Pitt’s Kenny Pickett be the first QB taken? Like so much in Vegas, the answers are very much up in the air.

at parties behind us.

So, the NFL draft was in Cleveland last year. Now it's at the opposite geographic location.

0:57.0

What is the set the scene for us here for people who are not familiar with how the NFL is going to do this thing?

1:02.0

Well, the biggest contrast, Pablo, besides all of the obvious contrasts between the two cities,

1:07.0

is that it was very cold last year and this year it's going to be very, very hot.

1:31.0

Wait, so you're going to have players just being like ferried to and from the podium,

1:39.0

like on an actual boat on this Belagio water.
