The Draft will begin on Thursday night, April 28 at 8:00 p.m. ET with Round 1. 

It will continue on Friday night, April 29 at 6:00 p.m. ET with Rounds 2-3 and continue with Rounds 4-7 on Saturday, April 30 at 12:00 p.m. ET.  NFL Network and ESPN/ESPN2 will provide television coverage on all three days.

The 25 players are the most to ever attend the Draft.  The previous high was last year, when 17 prospects were on hand at Radio City for the celebration of the 75th NFL Draft, the first-ever in primetime.

So much for the NFLPA not wanting players to attend. I thought that was ludicrous to begin with since this day is every kid's dream (Well, except for Ken's dream which was to ride a unicorn naked across Texas stadium at halftime of a Cowboys game.
