EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Almost incomprehensibly, the day is finally here.
Yes, after months of combine workouts and pro days and medical rechecks and anonymous scouts and mock draft after mock draft after mock draft, the NFL draft begins tonight. The first round that unfolds starting at 8 p.m. ET is no mock. It's the real deal. And it will answer all of your questions much better than any of us have been able to.
This is a dicey time of year for those of us charged with finding out what's going on behind the scenes and relaying it to you.
