“NFL RedZone” host Scott Hanson predicts some movement in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night.
Hanson, 54, said that with Fernando Mendoza being selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 1 overall pick a foregone conclusion, he is turning his attention to the “unknown.”

The New York Jets (No. 2 and No. 16 overall), New York Giants (No. 5 and No. 10 overall), Cleveland Browns (No. 6 and No. 24), Kansas City Chiefs (No. 9 and No. 29), Miami Dolphins (No. 11 and No. 30) and the Dallas Cowboys (No. 12 and No. 20) are the six teams that have multiple first-round picks.
To add to the intrigue, Mendoza is the only quarterback guaranteed to make the first round. Alabama’s Ty Simpson has been mocked for landing late in the first round or in the second round on Friday.
While Hanson said he’s focusing his attention on the unknown of the NFL Draft, he didn’t want to downplay Mendoza’s accomplishments over the past year.

“I think we all know that the No. 1 overall pick is a foregone conclusion, that Fernando Mendoza is going to become a Las Vegas Raider, which let’s not minimize that. This young man won the Heisman, won the natty, one of the great stories in college football, recent history, a huge deal,” Hanson said.
Lowe’s helped build the NFL Draft green room where many of the top prospects will sit Thursday. There are more than 200 items in the green room that fans can purchase for their own homes on the Lowe’s website.

Lowe’s also has Kobalt mini tool boxes decorated with the colors and logos of each NFL team to help people with their home improvement projects.
“The whole concept is that Lowe’s loves football the same way you love football, like I love football. And so they want to encourage you, during the week, on Friday, even on Saturdays on the weekends, you go to Lowe’s, you do all your home improvement projects and then you’ve earned Sunday, so you can sit back and, let’s say, watch a show that’s going to show you 50, 60, 70 touchdowns on an NFL Sunday afternoon. “That’s beating you on Sunday.”
