Tomorrow. Finally. ByNateDavis takes a look at how he thinks the NFL draft will unfold Thursday night:

CLOSE SportsPulse: From Nasvhille, Trysta Krick and AZ Central's Kent Somers break down the latest drama surrounding the Arizona Cardinals' decision with the number one pick and what set off Patrick Peterson on a cryptic social media rant. USA TODAY

3. Jets — Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama: Might be the best player in this draft, and GM Mike Maccagnan has had Leonard Williams, Jamal Adams and Sam Darnold fall into his lap over the years. No reason to overthink this, especially given that teaming the Williamses inside should create rush lanes no matter who's manning the edges in Gregg Williams' defense.

TRADE 8. Redskins — Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State: Washington needs a franchise quarterback and might be wise to get ahead of teams like Denver, Cincinnati and Miami. Detroit wants to trade out. Boom — and the 'Skins could get this done by surrendering the 15th pick and their second rounder while probably expecting to get a mid-rounder in return.

TRADE 12. Giants — Daniel Jones, QB, Duke: Now Gettleman comes up, sending Green Bay No. 17 and next year's second rounder, for the Blue Devils star and New York's long-awaited successor to Manning. Jones is a polarizing player, but he wouldn't have to play immediately and maybe does derive benefit from the mutual connection he and Manning share to coach David Cutcliffe.

16. Panthers — Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson: Like Wilkins, his Tigers teammate, Ferrell is a valuable player on and off the field. He may not be as explosive player as, say, Mississippi State's Montez Sweat but doesn't have his medical concerns, either. Carolina needs edge help after losing Julius Peppers to retirement and will potentially say goodbye to Mario Addison in free agency next year.

20. Steelers — Byron Murphy, CB, Washington: Probably the draft's most complete corner, he can cover — a trait Pittsburgh's defense desperately needs — but seems willing enough as a tackler, something he'll need to do against a run-heavy division opponent like Baltimore. 24. Raiders — Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi State: New GM Mike Mayock is all about value, and Simmons — perhaps a top-10 talent in this draft based solely on ability — could have too much to bypass here. Mayock also knows that if he waits until No. 27, Philly is also the type of team that would likely pounce on Simmons.
