Tune into KPUG Thursday and Friday for the NFL draft. The Seattle Seahawks have the No. 18 pick in the first round, after that pick 20 in round 4, 120th overall. The first pick will go to the Cleveland Browns who had an 0-16 record in 2017.

Several quarterbacks are predicted to go early in the draft. Teams that aren’t looking for a QB have some interesting choices to make as well with players like Penn State running back Saquon Barkley and the speedy one-handed LB Shaquem Griffin, brother of Seattle CB Shaquill Griffin.

Tune in for coverage starting at 4:00PM Thursday following The Zone with Mark Scholten and at 3:00PM Friday on KPUG 1170AM & 97.9FM.
