NFL Draft night arrives in Pittsburgh

NFL Draft night arrives in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is hosting the three-day player selection event, which will see 257 college prospects realize their professional dreams.

The Las Vegas Raiders are widely expected to select Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick, but the real drama begins with the New York Jets at No. 2.

Draft experts are predicting several high-risers, including Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese, while quarterback-needy teams like the Giants and Commanders are poised for potential trade-ups.

The event is also facing scrutiny from the NFL over the expansion of draft-related prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket.
