It’s looking like there’s a good chance the players the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers choose in the first round of this year’s NFL draft will be in New York that night.

The league has announced that an all-time high 26 players will be at Radio City Music Hall for the first round. I’m looking at the list and the three realistic candidates for the Bucs at No. 5 -- LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, Alabama running back Trent Richardson and Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon -- are scheduled to be in New York.

The Panthers have the No. 9 overall pick in the draft. I’m looking at the list and seeing multiple players that have a chance to end up in Carolina, including Blackmon, LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers, North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples, Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, Georgia offensive tackle Cordy Glenn, Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe and Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still. I also think Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly and Iowa offensive tackle Riley Reiff are also possibilities for the Panthers, but they’re not scheduled to be in New York.

Aside from the players mentioned above, here’s the rest of the list of guys scheduled to be in New York for the draft:

• Mark Baron, safety, Alabama

• Coby Fleener, tight end, Stanford

• Michael Floyd, receiver, Notre Dame

• Stephon Gilmore, cornerback, South Carolina

• Robert Griffin III, quarterback, Baylor

• Dont’a Hightower, linebacker, Alabama

• Stephen Hill, receiver, Georgia Tech

• Melvin Ingram, defensive end, South Carolina

• Matt Kalil, offensive tackle, Southern California

• Dre Kirkpatrick, cornerback, Alabama

• Andrew Luck, quarterback, Stanford

• Shea McClellin, linebacker, Boise State

• Nick Perry, defensive end, Southern California

• Rueben Randle, receiver, LSU

• Ryan Tannehill, quarterback, Texas A&M

• Courtney Upshaw, linebacker, Alabama

• Kendall Wright, receiver, Baylor
