Here’s all the information you need to keep up with the 2019 NFL Draft.
The 2019 NFL Draft is finally here, and the Panthers have hopefully done their homework and will be adding some future stars to their roster over the next three days. The draft will last three days: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and you can watch it live on ESPN, ABC and NFL Network. A Spanish broadcast will also be available on ESPN Deportes.
The festivities will officially kick off at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night live from Nashville, Tenn.
Below you will find the information you need to watch the draft in its entirety, along with some intel on when the Panthers are expected to be on the clock.
Disclaimer: These times are nothing more than educated guesses and you should not use them to determine when you tune into the draft if seeing the Panthers’ pick announced on television is your only source of happiness this weekend. Cat Scratch Reader is not responsible if you miss seeing the Panthers’ picks announced on television.
Day 1 — Round 1
Date: Thursday, April 25
Time: 8 p.m. ET
Place: Nashville, Tenn.
TV: ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network
Stream: NFL Watch, NFL Draft tracker
Teams will have 10 minutes to make their selections in this round. Since the Panthers have the No. 16 pick, that’s a maximum of 160 minutes (2 hours, 40 minutes) until they’re on the clock. Assuming the draft takes a few minutes to start (like it always does) to be safe you should add 5-10 minutes to that estimate. The latest the Panthers would be on the clock — assuming they keep the No. 16 pick — would be approximately 10:45 p.m. ET. Most teams don’t take the entirety of their allotted 10 minutes, and there’s always the chance that Carolina trades up or down, so if you want to see the announcement of Carolina’s pick you should probably just tune in to the whole thing on Day 1.
Day 2 — Rounds 2-3
Date: Friday, April 26
Time: 7 p.m. ET
Place: Nashville, Tenn.
TV: ABC, ESPN/ESPN 2, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network
Stream: NFL Watch, NFL Draft tracker
Teams will have seven minutes to make their selections in these rounds. The Panthers will have three picks on Day 2 unless they make a trade. Day 2 starts an hour earlier than Day 1, so if every team takes all seven minutes to make their selection and the Panthers keep the No. 47 pick, they will be on the clock at approximately 8:35 p.m. ET. However, since teams have almost an entire day to decide who they want to take in the second round and don’t usually take up their entire seven minutes of allotted time, the Panthers should be on the clock with their second round pick at approximately 8 p.m. ET.
The Panthers have two third round selections (including their compensatory pick). There’s a possibility that these picks are traded, but if they’re not traded the Panthers will likely be making their first choice in the third round around 10 p.m. ET. Full disclosure: I did not do the math for this estimate because that takes too much work.
Former Panthers linebacker Jon Beason will announce the Panthers’ selection in the second round, and former Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson will announce the Panthers’ two selections in the third round.
Day 3 — Rounds 4-7
Date: Saturday, April 27
Time: 12 p.m. ET
Place: Nashville, Tenn.
TV: ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network
Stream: NFL Watch, NFL Draft tracker
The Panthers have three selections on Day 3, assuming no trades are made. Their first choice will occur early in the afternoon since teams only have five minutes on the clock. Day 3 of the draft starts at noon and the Panthers have the No. 13 pick in the fourth round, so their first pick on Day 3 should occur sometime around 12:50 p.m. ET.
The fifth-seventh round picks are a total crapshoot and I honestly cannot estimate when they will be made. One thing I know for certain, though: the television analysts will be busy talking about the kicker that was drafted by either the Patriots, Packers, Eagles or Cowboys whenever the Panthers make their selection, and we won’t know who that selection was until they stop blathering and realize that the pick was made. Your best bet is to check Twitter and/or Cat Scratch Reader for updates on the last few rounds.
There you have it, folks! Now you’re primed and ready to follow along with the 2019 NFL Draft. Also, be sure to check CSR for updates and analysis on all of the Panthers’ draft picks. We’ll have you covered with any information you could possibly need.
