With Trevor Lawrence the overwhelming consensus at No. 1, the drama at the 2021 NFL Draft truly starts when the New York Jets are called upon to choose second overall.
Lawrence's destiny as this year's top selection was sealed long ago, and the Jacksonville Jaguars will surprise no one when they choose the former Clemson quarterback to kick things off in Cleveland.
Even with Lawrence cemented as the season's best prospect, there will still be plenty of the usual draft-day drama to go around. Inevitably, a team will trade up or down, a player will be chosen at a slot that most will agree did not make sense, and pundits will have much to say about the respective selections as they happen.
Most important of all, dozens of young players will receive the opportunity of a lifetime when they hear their names announced during the three-day event.
It all begins Thursday. Here's what you need to know about this year's NFL Draft.
