Virgil Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) We are just over 24 hours away from one of my favorite times of the year and what looks to be a fairly exciting draft. What's everyone's draft environment, food, etc preference? Also, anyone planning on just living here in the shoutbox? For me, I get wings, pizza logs, YouTubeTV picture in picture for both NFL Network and ESPN coverage, and laptop open to research picks and complain about who the Bills take. What's on your agenda?

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 We are having a draft party at our North Jersey Bills Backer bar. Should get a decent crowd and our Bills theme menu will be available. We might need to rename a couple specials with the recent moves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 This year coincidentally I will be in Louisville for an extended weekend (starting Thursday) with my brother, taking my dad out for some bourbon tastings. He loves bourbon, but he is getting up there in years (will be 79 in May) and wanted to do something with him while he can still enjoy it. 4 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Sit on my living room couch and quietly watch it by myself. My wife will be watching her shows (Grey's Anatomy, The Masked Singer, The Golden Girls, Sex And The City, whatever) in the bedroom, my kids will be watching whatever or playing video games with their friends online in their rooms, and I veg in front of the TV for once. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Myself and a few others will be at our main Atlanta Bills Backers bar, Whitehall Tavern. No official event from the club, just a few of us regulars. I'm sure many wings will be consumed. Couldnt talk @Royale with Cheese into showing up tho. (So it's safe for anyone else who wants to join) Edited April 24 by DrDawkinstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Watch it at home. The NFL draft will be a nice distraction for me as my Islanders will be getting beat again by the Canes. I hope the Bills have a good night since I am sure the Isles won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and probably closer to 11:30pm Just looked up last year's pick, and the Kincaid thread went live at 11:10pm and that was pick 25. So yeah. I'm guessing at least 11:30pm.

nosejob Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) 24 minutes ago, Virgil said: Steak and alcohol optional? unless we trade up…. I'm expecting Beane to steal the show. He trades 2025 1st / 2nd / 144 and a 6th to move to 6 with the NYG. ( Giants have 39 nand 47 so they take the deal and set their sights on the no.1 QB next year.) He then trades 6 to Minny for 11 and 23. ( They were gonna pay that anyway.) He then trades 11 and a conditional 2025 4th to Seattle for 16 and Dk Metcalf. With pick 16 we take BTJ. With pick 23 we select Latu. Beane then trades 28 to AZ. for 35 and 71 He then selects Johnny Newton or Fiske at 35 We end up with : DK BTJR Latu Newton or Fiske Sweat at 60 Cole Bishop at 71. Flame away IDK we're finally only one day away. Edited April 24 by nosejob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMAn Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The NFL hype machine has made the draft, the schedule, the combine, etc. all 'must-see' events. Back in the day, before the web and 24/7 NFL network, these things were barely acknowledged in real time. If you get max enjoyment out of it, power to you. I'll get excited when there's actually men suited up and smashing into each other. I'll maybe toggle over to ESPN or NFL network or check in here occasionally, but I don't have much interest in making it 'an event'. More likely slip into my usual old man routine starting with Jeopardy, maybe the news commentary talking heads, Nat Geo, Seinfeld re-runs, and start dozing on the sofa around 9pm. Most importantly, I'll be keeping the remote from my wife so that the Hallmark channel doesn't appear on the main TV. I'll definitely be here Friday morning and probably see what Tasker and Brown have to say.🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 My kitchen is being done up at the moment so I'll be sitting in a dusty lounge full of stuff that should normally be in a kitchen trying to make enough coffee to stay awake, eating food that doesn't require cooking and playing a full part in the draft thread on here while marking off my board as we go. I am more of a two laptops guy than a two tv screens guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, the worst part is the laxative that you have to take the night before the prep day. Also, drink lots of chicken broth; it feels like real food. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I work til 4-5 Thursday. Grill some chicken and be ready to go draft time at 730. Last 3-4 years I have become a non traditional draft watcher. Started with bleacher report with Lefkoe and Simms. This year with Buffalo picking late I will mainly watch the Pat Mcafee draft spectacular. Having Bill Belichick on a hot mike uncensored for the duration of rd 1 is a must watch for me. On the clock I will go to a national crew because I assuming Pat and boys will be way off the rails by than but would want Bill’s analysis. Days 2 and 3 exclusively bleacher report. Analysis and grade of every pick in real time. The ESPN and NFL network coverage becomes a variety show. Before having a full time job and a family I really hated the change from saturday and sunday. That was like the start of summer when I was college age. Now I much appreciate being able to see the complete first 3 rounds live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePJ76 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Going to be watching the Yankees-A's game while also watching the draft...haven't decided which network/broadcast I will watch yet. Bryan Broaddus has great info on draft day but I am hoping the buffalo plus folks do some live stuff too. oh and my wife is picking up food so I don't have to cook! probably some crappy north texas pizza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I’ll be working 10p to 6a, so it’s a sad state of affairs for me. Fortunately, I can have a radio going, so it’s either WGR or the NFL Channel on Sirius. As far as snacks, I work in a bread warehouse so perhaps pumpernickel is on the menu 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I'll be at my son's baseball game (it's senior night), hoping we run rule this team and we can get home before the pick. I'll be checking my phone every 5 seconds to see if we traded up. If the game runs long, we'll go to The Taste of Buffalo restaurant in Huntersville NC, which is close to the field. It could take too long to get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
