The first round of the 2011 NFL Draft is Thursday night live from New York City. Thanks to the NFL's never ending quest for ratings, the draft is now split up into three days, with the first round coming on Thursday night, the second and third rounds on Friday and rounds four through seven will be held on Saturday.
The draft order for the first round is currently as follows:
- Carolina Panthers
- Denver Broncos
- Buffalo Bills
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Arizona Cardinals
- Cleveland Browns
- San Francisco 49ers
- Tennessee Titans
- Dallas Cowboys
- Washington Redskins
- Houston Texans
- Minnesota Vikings
- Detroit Lions
- St. Louis Rams
- Miami Dolphins
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- New England Patriots
- San Diego Chargers
- New York Giants
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Indianapolis Colts
- Philadelphia Eagles
- New Orleans Saints
- Seattle Seahawks
- Baltimore Ravens
- Atlanta Falcons
- New England Patriots
- Chicago Bears
- New York Jets
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- Green Bay Packers
There will almost certainly be a slew of trades in the first round this year, so the draft order will change wildly with trades as the night progresses.
