I went to the NFL draft last year and it was a ton of fun. Open bar, open food, and some pretty decent eye-candy in the audience.
The biggest surprise was not who was drafted #1 or #2, but rather that basically nobody pays any attention to what’s going on except for the media and crew.
There was also the guy sitting behind me that was probably seven or eight beers deep by the time the draft actually started, who was ‘predicting’ after every pick that Geno Smith would be the next player chosen.
Numi that sounds like blast. i am pretty shocked that nobody pays attention in the audience, I was under the impression that people were on the edge of their seats to find out who was coming up, or going nuts when the Raiders trade their 1st round pick for the next 3 years for some freakish athlete with zero football skills.
I’m from the UK so will probably never have the opportunity to go to the draft. I’m a Chargers fan anyway and we normally have an incredibly boring draft so can’t say i’m that desperate to go.
