What are your NFL Draft Night Plans?

[Prospector]

I am going to go see that "Until Dawn" movie, then I'll follow along on my phone the 2nd and 3rd day while at the LVL UP convention.

[SoonerBillsFan]

Sit on my butt, eat food and watch the wailing and gnashing of teeth on TBD. 😁

Watch around 1 with beer and tacos…

 

Round 2 my son is coming over for some homemade pizza and some brews.

 

Round 3 watch the whole thing…

 

Love watching the draft! Find it cool seeing who goes where and the trades.  Also like the Commish bear hugs from the players! Toss him around like a rag doll. 😆

Have you been to one before?  I'm really curious about what you do in all the downtime, and what level of information you get being in the crowd.

 

If it comes to Buffalo, I will definitely go.  

I've been going to the draft since 2001, and haven't missed one since, minus the covid year.

 

During the downtime I mostly just talk to other fans. I ask them who they want, and we just go back-and-forth on other players available. Just a bunch of people talking about football, it's great. 

I don't really get any information. They used to give us little radio earpieces to listen to the ESPN & NFL Network coverages, but that changed a few years back. 
Now we have to sit and be forced to listen to our hosts on the stage or whatever local band is playing. 

Which is terrible because the hosts offer almost no insight.
I get that they are trying to keep the masses entertained and not indulge the fans like me, who actually care about the draft.

 

Nevertheless, I still have fun, although I really miss the draft being a two day event centered around Saturday & Sunday. Now I have to ask for more time off from work.
I've never been to Green Bay, so this will be an experience, and I also get to hang out with my other diehard draftniks who have been going to the draft even longer than I have.

@CowgirlsFan will be joining me as well. She's been going with me ever since the 2018 draft in Dallas(Arlington).

 

It would be a lot of fun if the draft went to Buffalo. I know that next year is in Pittsburgh, after that, I don't know.

Thursday: A group of Bills buds and I are hitting a local dive bar that serves food late. Atomic nachos and lots of PBR.

 

Friday: Probably me, alone, at another bar, since I pay for beer and food, but not endless subscription channels.

 

Saturday: Our baby shower (but it's at a bar, and they will be playing the draft on a big-screen, so the gents and Mafia babes don't all stay home).

and he gets to hang out with me. I'll be there too. This will be my 7th and it's a blast. First two nights are one big party. Day 3 is a slog but still fun and very much for draftnicks. 

[BigAl2526]

I will attend a Bible study early, then catch up on the early picks.  There is not that much drama early, so I don't think I'll be missing that much.

[frostbitmic]

It's going to be a nice day so I'm going to throw some Italian Sausage patties on the grill, then a few 12 oz curls and a bud or two as I wait for Beane to trade out of round 1 again.

I will be sitting in the NFL Draft Theatre in Green Bay, watching every pick from #1 overall to Mr. Irrelevant, LIVE!

I love this time of year! 

You win!

[turbo044]

On a Jet Blue Flight to Florida.  Fortunately Jet Blue has Directv, when it works. If it doesn't work, I'm rioting.

[BillsFooteball]

Turning Stone Casino live show with Matt Parino and Ryan Talbot. 

[YoloinOhio]

I have two kids attending prom Friday night. Both for the first time. I will be busy with pictures and praying they stay out of trouble. 
 

as far as Thursday, I’ll fight to stay up until midnight only to hear sal carpaccio yell in my ear that the Bills have traded out of the first round.

This used to be a big night for me.  Had a core group of friends that would always get together and go out and watch the draft at a bar.  Over time as people started getting married and having kids and getting older that tradition faded over time.  Now it's hit or miss if I get together with a couple friends and go out to watch it somewhere or just watch it at home.  As of right now I don't have anything planned for it but if I just stay home and watch it I'll at least order some pizza and wings.  But with that said it's still fun to hear what other people have going on for it.  Anybody doing anything fun for it?

Get home from work, have a nice dinner, kick the wife out of the living room. Get an adult beverage or two and watch NFL network and yell at all the commercials and just get to the Bills pick. Oh and be on The Wall on my laptop making comments on picks and hopefully those on Twitter stop dropping picks on the board before we see them on tv.

I live in North County San Diego, there isn't a single place anywhere in Southern California that sells grilled BBQ chicken wings so I learned how to make my own, LA Nova's style, and hot wings too. Overall, the pizza here is good, but the best pizza here is Bronx Pizza which is a 35 minute drive from where I live in San Marcos. I'm also ordering pizza and making homemade blue cheese.

[DrDawkinstein]

Har Mar Superstar is playing a show about 200 yds from my house so I'll be there, funkin it up.

 

Made the mistake last year of going out for the draft with friends, waited all night for the Bills to pick, and was sent home empty-handed.

 

I'll be checking pick updates on my phone, and the show will probably be over by the time the Bills pick anyways.

I'll see you there, pal. 

 

As always, you'll have a better seat than me.

Safe travels! See you there, my friend. 

[Steptide]

Watch probably the first hour and go to bed. The draft is the most over rated NFL event ever. It's boring (outside of the bills picks) and incredibly over hyped

[The Cincinnati Kid]

I think this.
