The 2021 NFL Draft begins Thursday at 8 p.m., and unlike last year, it won’t be held in NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s basement.

The draft itself will take place in Cleveland, but the league has adopted a hybrid approach due to the lingering effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Thirteen prospects will be in attendance in Cleveland, and Goodell has announced he’s been fully vaccinated, so expect a “bro hug” or two on stage.

The Eagles and every other NFL team will be allowed back into their draft rooms this year, which means we likely won’t get any more viral moments from Bill Belichick’s dog, Nike.

Despite having selected Jalen Reagor with last year’s No. 21 pick, all signs point to the Eagles selecting another wide receiver with the No. 12 pick to pair with likely starter Jalen Hurts. Both Jeff McLane and EJ Smith think the team will take Alabama’s DeVonta Smith, while Paul Domowitch predicts the Eagles will pick Smith’s Alabama teammate Jaylen Waddle. Les Bowen thinks the team will focus on defense and select South Carolina cornerback Jaycee Horn.

During the first round, each team has 10 minutes to make its pick, but some teams might be granted extra time if their remote equipment malfunctions while they’re on the clock. If the Birds still have the No. 12 pick, you can expect the Eagles to be on the clock for their selection around 9:40 p.m., based on the pace of the last few years of the draft.

For the third-straight year, ABC will offer its own telecast, which is intended for casual fans and will focus more on the journey the prospects and their families have taken to reach the NFL. But after sharing coverage last year, the NFL Network will return to airing the draft with its own team of experts, hosted by Rich Eisen.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch and stream this year’s NFL draft:
