The three-day football fan’s holiday known as the NFL Draft begins Thursday and runs through Saturday for at least four hours each day. It will appear on so many telecast and streaming platforms that if you don’t catch at least five minutes of it, you just don’t care.

Here is what you need to know:

When

The first round begins at 8 p.m. Thursday, resumes at 7 p.m. Friday with rounds two and three and concludes Saturday, starting at 12 p.m., with rounds four through seven.

Where

The draft originates in Nashville, Tenn., where NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will greet each first-round pick with a bear hug.

The first round will air on ABC, NFL Network, ESPN and ESPN Deportes. You can also stream the draft on the WatchESPN, NFL Mobile, ESPN.com or NFL.com apps.

What will the Pittsburgh Steelers do?

The Steelers have 10 overall picks (three of the first 66), starting with the 20th overall in the first round, highest since they took Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier with the 15th choice in 2014.

The question is whether they will pay the price to move up in the first round and draft a replacement at inside linebacker for Shazier, who is recovering from a spinal cord injury. After missing the playoffs last season, replenishing the roster properly is crucial.
