jaxfactor Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I always take the day off from work, if possible. I barely squeeked in and was able to get a vacation day this year. I plan on being total couch potato and watching the draft here at home. The Skybox would be a nice place to hang around if anyone's going to be there to chat. I do plan on consuming mass quantities of . The local Steeler club here has a draft party every year. But they decided to have it at one of the affiliate bars which is quite a ways from home. I'll pass on the possible DUI and stay home. So what are y'all gonna be doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chappy Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Me and about 4 or 5 of my buddies get together at my house and watch several hours of the draft together while having plenty of good food and beverages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I usually start partying with my friends early, but this year it starts at 3pm, so we'll have to start a little later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbimm Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I will miss most of it. Jazz Fest gets my attention more than the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'll catch some of it while watching one of my grandsons, doing errands, and being on call from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Have a TV with the draft on, playing poker, smoking cigars, drinking adult libations, eating stuff that wouldn't ever be confused with health food. Live is good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalboyd Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I will be at home watching every second of it. I take no phone calls from work and I usually sit up and have the wifey with me to watch the first 2 rounds of it. She likes to see who goes where. I can't wait though because this draft is one of the most intriguing ones in a while. The non-offensive players (OL, and D positions) that don't score are the ones to watch this year. They are going to play a HUGE role in our respective teams more this year than any other year I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Watching the draft isn't important to me. I can get all of the information and analysis later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Watching the TV coverage (though the coverage leaves alot to be desired) and in the skybox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiley Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have tickets to go to a draft event at the dome but I also have tickets to go to the Cardinals game. I'll probably go to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vt700guy Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I will most likely not watch a second of it. I will check in online every couple of hours though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Last year I recorded the whole thing and watched the entire first round again a couple days later. Is that bad? BTW... 4,000th post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALWITCHEESE Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 My local dynasty league has the league meeting on draft day. We meet early and vote on issues/changes. Everyone brings food--and after the meeting we sit around, eat, drink, and make a few trades--during the first round. Then we all go home happy and itching for the "real deal"--the dynasty rookie draft (July). We've found this works well. It gives us an additional gathering, as opposed to meeting just once a year for the rook draft (some of the guys get together on the opening Sunday, but not the whole league). Everyone is more familiar will each other, not to mention it keeps the appetite whet for fantasy football during the long off-season. Makes the NFL draft more enjoyable for me, I doubt I would watch otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 working That new job putting a damper on your FF already. I think the draft starts at 3:00 so that should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I am hoping to do some work in the morning and early after and then come home and watch it all on saturday. Its not to often the redskins have numerous picks. I like the direction they are heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'll be at the O'hare Hyatt in Chicago. With no picks in the first three rounds, I'll probably pass watching much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 having some buddies over during the day...grillling and beers, waiting to see who the Pats trade the 7th pick to...... after that, possibly walk down to a local sports establishment to catch the Celts/Hawks game that evening...
