The 2019 NFL Draft begins tonight, Thursday, Apr. 25, and will be taking place in this year’s host city, Nashville, Tennessee. This is the 84th draft in the history of the NFL. The format, number of rounds, the money and player evaluation have all changed a great deal over time. But the end result is that this is where nearly 300 young men will take their first steps in making a living from a sport to which they’ve sacrificed greatly for most of their lives.
The New Orleans Saints come into this draft with only six picks.
