Shortly after 8 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, the worst NFL team in 2016 got to make the first selection of the NFL Draft as the Cleveland Browns selected Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett.
While Garrett's selection was largely expected, much of what transpired on Thursday was unexpected. Most notably, the Chicago Bears traded up to the No. 2 selection to pick Mitchell Trubisky, a quarterback out of North Carolina.
"I didn't see that coming at all," Trubisky said during an interview on the NFL Network. "It was a mystery, the last few weeks have been crazy. I am happy to be a Chicago Bear."
Another big question was the status of Gareon Conley, the corner back from Ohio State who earlier in the week was accused of rape in a Cleveland hotel. All 32 teams in the NFL called Conley to respond to the allegations, his agent said.
Even though it appears his stock took a hit, he managed to be selected by Oakland at No. 24 overall.
Another huge surprise in Thursday's first round was Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis being selected at No. 5 overall. Many had Davis going late in the first round, or at some point in the second round.
Those experts were wrong.
Conley has not been charged of any crimes despite the allegations.
There were a total of 32 draft selections Thursday. Rounds 2 through 7 will be on Friday and Saturday.
