NFL Draft on Sky Sports with more live coverage than ever before

The 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson was taken No 32 overall by the Baltimore Ravens at the 2018 NFL Draft

The NFL Draft is back on Sky Sports

We will be airing all three days of the 2020 NFL Draft in April as college football's top prospects find out where they will be starting out their professional careers.

This year promises to bring a unique feel to proceedings after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed the draft would be conducted using an 'entirely virtual' format following the cancellation of a public event in Las Vegas due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The draft is set to pose as one of few sporting events capable of taking place in the current circumstances, with the NFL Management Council's Executive Committee unanimously approving the event from April 23-25.

Here is how you can watch the drama unfold with us on Sky Sports...

More live coverage than ever before

Kyler Murray was selected No 1 overall by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019

Day one begins with live build-up from 10pm on Thursday, April 23, before we find out whether or not the Cincinnati Bengals will draft LSU quarterback Joe Burrow at No 1 from 1am in the early hours of Friday morning.

Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, versatile Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons and Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown then all loom as possible top-10 defensive options.

Alabama's Jedrick Wills and Iowa's Tristan Wirfs are among the most sought-after offensive lineman, while Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb and the Alabama pairing of Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy dazzle as three of the most exciting receiver prospects in recent memory.

Sky Sports will also be showing days two and three, which have famously produced some gems over the years such as Alvin Kamara, Dak Prescott and new Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady.

As ever, Sky Sports' Neil Reynolds and Jeff Reinebold will be at hand to talk you through the biggest storylines heading into this year's draft. This week's edition of Inside the Huddle sees the guys give their reaction to the draft's virtual approach.

"Coach Harbaugh in Baltimore expressed concern over other people hacking into your draft plans and what your conversations are on the night of the draft," said Reinebold. "This is absolute 21st century stuff.

"Say with the first pick, the Cincinnati Bengals take quarterback Joe Burrow and then virtual Joe Burrow will walk on the stage as the first pick. Now, will a virtual commissioner go over and give him a big hug?

"I'm on the clock and all of a sudden my computer goes down. What happens if you can't get it up in the allotted time, do I lose the draft pick?"

Analysis from Neil and Jeff will also be accompanied by the thoughts of NFL Network draft experts as they look ahead to the draft itself.
