    Or maybe the Atlanta to 1 talk was never real, and they're only looking to leapfrog 1 team.

    ATL wants Clowney, Houston wants more picks, and realistically a QB!

    I'm 100 percent certain a trade will happen with 1st pick or pick after that

    So does the first pick happen at 7pm?

    Or is that the beginning of a 30 min to an hour or pre draft show?

    I am sure there will be all sorts of annoying promo stuff to drag it out. I see it is 10 minutes between picks too so wonder how long Texans will take. hopefully most of the teams don't take the full 10 minutes or it's going to be a long night!

    I'm guessing it's like a start of a sports game. So maybe like 7:07?

    There's no negotiation with draft picks anymore. Their salaries are set by the CBA, so no reason to sign them pre-draft anymore.

    That was back when the first pick got 40-50 million guaranteed making it almost impossible to trade the first pick. New CBA has changed things

    If Atlanta (or Buffalo) wants to trade with Houston they may have to trade up with another team 1st and get the player Houston may want and then swap with Houston.
