The NFL Draft is just a couple of weeks away and will be held at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. Traditionally the NFL Draft has been held in New York City at the Radio City Music Hall, but this year it won’t be.

Every year players who are expected to be taken in the first round of the draft get invited to attend, and this year is no different. There will be 26 players attending the NFL Draft this year, including some notable big names from college football.

Two big names won’t be attending, and that are Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. The two men expected to go within the first few selections won’t be an attendance for various reasons.

Here is the list or prospects to attend:

Arik Armstead, DE, Oregon
Vic Beasley, DE, Clemson
La’el Collins, T, LSU
Landon Collins, S, Alabama
Bud Dupree, LB, Kentucky
Cameron Erving, T, Florida State

Nah, we're getting Cooper!

[Mother Grabber]

#1 overall pick won't be there.

[ZackAttack23]

Several of those guys won't get drafted in the 1st! It's going to be pretty awkward for them.

Happens every year now since they started inviting 30+ people to attend the draft rather than 8-10 they used to. Kony was there last year and despite waiting until pick #60 said he would have done the same again.

There's some guys on that list that have a good chance to still be on the board in the 3rd round.
