If you are trying to decide where to view the draft, perhaps the list of analysts on each network might sway your decision.

According to Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated, NFL Network has its more veteran members of Rich Eisen, Mike Mayock and Steve Mariucci on set as well as recent players such as Marshall Faulk, Michael Irvin and Kurt Warner also around for analysis.

Meanwhile, ESPN will feature more well-known draft analysts who have been around almost from the beginning, such as Chris Berman and Mel Kiper Jr. Deitsch quotes ESPN senior coordinating producer Seth Markman on the topic:

"

I think this is our best group for the first day. This Is Chris Berman’s 35th consecutive draft. In this day and age that is a pretty amazing accomplishment. To me, he has been the face of the NFL on TV for a long time. I know he will do a great job. Mel is the dean. I know you like Mayock the best now and that’s fine. But Mel is a legend. He does not miss a beat.

"

If you enjoy watching these two veterans, you can be certain they won't have too many jitters on stage after doing this for a few decades.

As for the draft itself, there might be as much uncertainty heading into the first round as we have seen in recent years. Jameis Winston has appeared likely to be the No. 1 pick for some time, but Marcus Mariota remains a top contender.

ESPN's Mark Dominik believes these two quarterbacks will be taken with the first two selections, per Anthony DiMoro of Sports Rants:

On the other hand, NFL Network's Mike Mayock argues Mariota should be taken first:

Add in other talented players like USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams, and there will be plenty of question marks right up until the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially on the clock.

There are certain to be plenty of trades, surprises and overall drama throughout the first round and likely into the weekend, so make sure to keep up with all of the action.
