Everyones Draft Weekend Plans
-
Some people don't even watch and they wait for news on who we picked, while others watch every second of the draft until the last team picks and then track who gets signed as UDFA. My question is what do you guys tend to do on draft weekend?
Personally, during the last 3 drafts I have watched just about every minute of the draft from beginning to end, or at least until the Browns make their last pick. Me and my old roommate went to his dads trailer on Lake Erie for rounds 2-7 one year and spent afternoons at a near by sports bar watching the draft which was a blast.
Now that I actually work and live on my own I think this years going to suck a bit, but I'm planning on taking Friday off cause I plan on watching the whole 1st round and staying up late reading shit on who we select and then using Friday before the draft to sleep and do fun shit before rounds 2-3 start, then binge watching on Saturday for rounds 4-7.

I used to have a draft party. kegs, BBQ, strippers etc.....
now I am married with kids so it is with a 6 pack and a pizza and me watching on the couch. LOL

1) I'm going to the Draft Party in Cleveland with Calfoxwc, another friend, & my 6 year old Grandson, Michael, who is a HUGE Browns' Fan (he & I will be wearing our Joe Thomas jerseys).
2) I'll watch the remainder of the Draft on TV, either at home or at a local sports bar.
3) Tracking UDFA signings may be my favorite part of player acquisition. These guys usually have no sense of entitlement & play with a chip on their shoulder. Some true "diamonds in the rough" surface here. True "rags to riches" stories.
I have always loved the Draft & this year I'm actually confident in what we'll do.

Wings and a 12 pack of Breckenridge Vanilla Porter for each day
I normally work Saturday but booked it off ........

i stock my 'bar' with something light like corona, have plenty of lime and throw a bottle of stoli in the freezer.
come into the bedroom where i have my office and put the 42" plasma on while i'm on the brownsboard TAVERN. it's pretty cool to read the comments before and after each pick.
it's a roller coaster ride for sure. i'll do the same friday night. by saturday though there's only a couple of stragglers left here so i'll watch the rest of the rounds at the local watering hole.

I'll be in Cleveland. Flying Friday night though, so will miss some of Day 2. Thursday night I'm staying home with some whiskey and my laptop.
If anyone wants to meet up on the west side for Saturday, it'd be fun to grab a drink or two and watch the final rounds. Message me on here
Sucks being a Cleveland fan in the LA area. I have a buddy who is from Ohio but is moving to San Diego. A lot of Raider fans who end up somewhat watching the Browns due to me. LOL converting them slowly

Browns play in San Diego next year.

I work 2nd shift, but I took Thursday and Friday off to be able to watch it. I know the wife will want to go out Friday night so I may suggest Roosters in Canton so I'll still be able to watch.

Good idea. Roosters has excellent prices & the TVs are well positioned. If you decide to head there, shoot me a PM if you want. It's always good to meet another board member & I just may spring for a round.

Going to my cousin's on Thursday night. Friday and Saturday we are throwing a surprise bachelor party for my buddy in Pittsburgh of all places. I will be paying close attention to my phone/the tv wherever we are.

I asked off Friday as in I'm using a personal day from teaching fuck it, I get three personal days a year and I'm gonna us em. Sucky thing for me though is I live north of Indy at the moment, and even when I'm back home in Ohio none of my immediate friends are Browns fans.

I'll watch every minute of the draft.
Last winter I was co-oping with an auto company and had to get up at 4am the day after rd 1 to get into work early. I got like 2 hours of sleep but it was worth it.
Since it falls later this year I'll be back in Strongsville for it instead of Ann Arbor. I'll have to see which of my buddies are back home.
Either way, I'll watch every minute of it going back and forth between ESPN and NFL Network

The draft party is pretty cool, a lot of fun. If anybody else is going ,let Canton Mike and I know...

The draft starts at 1am, UK time. I'll be in bed, and probably waking up extra early like christmas morning, only to find we've somehow selected Brandon Weeden again.

I will say actually sitting and watching the draft last year was the most boring experience of my life. That was why I was losing my shit over those trades. Not because they weren't good value but because they made me watch the first half of Saturdays draft show without a Browns selection.
-
that's why i didn't mind the old format.
at least we have 2 first rounders this year so thursday night will be a lot more exciting.
