NFL Draft: Bengals order, online Stream, TV, radio, schedule and more

It's here. The day of days where we can proudly boast to our children... we made it to the NFL Draft. There will be NO MORE MOCK DRAFTS, and we're celebrating that alone. Sure there will be the occasional 2016 NFL mock draft that surfaces on Sunday, but that allows us the opportunity to point and laugh at such traffic-whoring.

Oh, and college players will join the NFL.

NOTES

SCHEDULE: The first round will begin on Thursday (April 30) at 8 p.m. The second and third round will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday with the final four rounds (4-7) starting at noon on Saturday.

NO MORE SPOILS: According to Richard Deitsch with Sports Illustrated, ESPN and the NFL Network are restricting their staff from spoiling picks before they are announced by Roger Goodell.

"We want to keep the suspense of the draft," ESPN senior coordinating producer Seth Markman told Deitsch. "This is purely listening to the viewers and what they want. It was overwhelming that our consumers, our viewers, our fans do not want us to spoil the draft experience. I know some of our competitors will tweet picks, but they are not telecasting the draft. I am sure there is a segment of the population that wants it as soon as possible, but our responsibility is to our viewers. It’s not some big journalism discussion in my mind. It’s ‘I don’t like angering our viewers’."

BENGALS PICKS: The Bengals will pick nine times, with multiple selections in the third and fourth rounds (via compensatory picks). Here's the Bengals draft grid:
