2023 NFL draft: Time, TV schedule and how to watch Round 1
One of the biggest days on the calendar with the opening night of the 2023 NFL draft kick-starts on Thursday.
The New England Patriots will enter the first round of the event with the No. 14 overall pick, which is their highest pick in nearly 15 years. With all of the struggles the team had in 2022, this draft will be one of their last chances to round out their roster for what they hope is a bounce-back 2023 season.
Will they finally add an offensive playmaker to help give the team more firepower? Or, will they continue to build upon the strength of their talented defense with their first selection?
The only certainty whenever the Patriots are on the clock is expecting the unexpected.
Here’s how to watch round one of the draft.
