USC quarterback Caleb Williams, long thought to be the top selection when the draft gets underway, will be there. The Chicago Bears, for the second straight year, hold the No. 1 overall pick.

Alabama and and LSU will have three players on hand for Round 1. As for conferences, the Southeastern Conference leads the way with seven prospects, followed by the Pac-12 (3), Atlantic Coast Conference (1), Big Ten (1), and Mid-American Conference (1).
Round 1 will be held on Thursday, April 25. Rounds 2-3 will be held Friday night, and Rounds 4-7 on Saturday.
The Bills, since trading away Stefon Diggs, could target a wide receiver with their first pick.
Last year the Bills traded up in the first round to acquire Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid, who finished the regular season with 73 receptions for 673 yards and two touchdowns. Kincaid had eight catches for 104 yards and a touchdown in two postseason games.
