The NFL Draft is nearly upon us. That means day-one trades, shocking selections, and if we're lucky, a few live TV meltdowns. For a handful of franchises, however, their lack of day-one picks makes April 25 a prime evening to binge-watch HBO or Netflix. Here are the five NFL teams without a first-round draft pick and why.

The Bears shipped their 2019 first-round pick when they traded for Khalil Mack of the Oakland Raiders. The linebacker rewarded Chicago with 37 solo tackles, 12.5 sacks, and one touchdown.

Hard to argue with this one as the Browns traded their first-round selection and other goodies for Pro Bowl receiver Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Oakland Raiders traded a high-profile stud for a first-round selection.
This doozy went down last October when the Cowboys traded for wide receiver Amari Cooper. He hauled in 53 catches for 725 yards and six TDs in just nine games for Dallas.

Kansas City included this year's first selection in an impressive package that landed defensive end Frank Clark from Seattle.

Stay with me now: Last year New Orleans shipped this year's first-round pick and 2018's first- and fifth-round picks to the Packers for Green Bay's 2018 first-round selection (14th overall). They parlayed that pick into Marcus Davenport of UTSA.
