A crazy Thursday night resulted in a busy first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. There were picks, there were trades, there were falls, and there were surprises. All-in-all, the first 31 picks in the NFL's annual selection meeting were highly entertaining and set up a good foundation for the six rounds still to come, with two of those rounds scheduled for Friday night.
The story of the first round was the fall of Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. Just prior to the start of the Draft, a video appeared on Tunsil's Twitter account that showed him smoking from a bong while wearing a gas mask. This apparent use of marijuana, which Tunsil later confirmed is him, immediately led to teams reconsidering his selection, and he began to slide. The video was reported later to be at least two-years old, the timing of the post a result of an apparent hack on Tunsil's account, but the damage was done. A player rated among the elite in the Draft and previously projected as a number one overall pick, fell not just to after the quarterbacks were selected one and two, but continued to fall until after two other offensive tackles were selected.
He fell all the way to the Miami Dolphins with the 13th overall pick. At that point, the talent of Tunsil, as well as a comfort level with the background information the team had received prior to the Draft and since the video's posting, could not be passed up by a team that needed offensive line help this offseason.
The Draft resumes tonight with two rounds on the schedule. Below, you will find all of the updated information you need to watch the second and third rounds.
