I plan to watch the Draft tonight for the first time in many years. I can hack the 5 minutes between rounds much better than 10 (God, remember 15 minutes??!! for Round 1). I've suddenly found my Friday nights very open.  :p

Beer will flow. Refreshing of this site along with banging Twitter (sounds naughty) will also be flowing.

#Vikings GM Rick Spielman to me on the phone: 'We're trying to be as aggressive as we can tonight because of the amount of capital we have..If there are players still there..in the upper echelon of the 2nd/3rd round..once we finalize our game plan that's a definite possibility."

Like the man said, "hold on to your butts"

Thanks for this thread. I watched last night and checked in here while trying to keep up with a Zoom virtual draft party. Oh and I dipped into a couple of Packer forums to see the reaction to the Love pick. Between the forums and the fan twitter fights, there were a lot of tears. Of course, it will probably pay off in the long run.

As for the purple, I'm pretty happy with Round 1 Rick.

Maybe a subtle message to the Redskins in this as well? If you don't take our offer, we're going to go up and get our tackle.

I drank a small bottle of Clorox and topped it off with a Tide Pod.

After 8PM Central I'll be bouncing between the draft and Dateline... hopefully tonight's picks don't end up a crime scene :p

Okay, I'm really enjoying the happy hour. BRob gave some rookie advice to Gladney. It was very cool.  Jared Allen and Nate Burleson have joined along with Josh Duhamel and they're discussing Antoine Winfield and AWJr.

Would really like IDL Elliott at 58.

Hope as many WR's go before the GB pick.  Really hope they don't get Mims or Higgins.
