The NFL draft will open on Thursday with the first round in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The opening round will consist of 32 picks and will be televised by NFL Network, ABC and ESPN.
Las Vegas has the No. 1 overall pick, followed by the Jets (2), Arizona (3), Tennessee (4) and the Giants (5) in the top five.
On Thursday, Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY released a final mock draft for the first round. He projects Tennessee defensive back Colton Hood to be selected No. 30 overall by Miami.
"If the Dolphins' new regime has to account for the missteps of previous leadership, that effort will certainly require action in an underdeveloped secondary," Middlehurst-Schwartz said. "Miami can be more patient than most teams in bringing along Hood, who can comfortably carry larger receivers downfield but still must hone his coverage instincts after just one season as a starter."
