There’s kinda sportsin’ going on tonight!
I bet you haven’t been this excited about a NFL Draft in a very long time, have you!
The NFL Draft starts tonight at 7 pm central time. Round one will be tonight, followed by rounds 2-3 tomorrow night at 6 pm. Rounds 4-7 will be Saturday at 11 am central.
The Cincinnati Bengals have the first overall pick! Former Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor is their head coach! Isn’t that exciting! LSU’s Joe Burrow is expected to be the first draft pick! We can all re-live the “WHAT IF HE CAME TO NEBRASKA” bit as if it just happened!
JUST DON’T MAKE FUN OF HIM!
Nobody’s allowed to make fun of me tonight none of the barbershops are open

You can watch the NFL Draft LIVE on ABC, ESPN, NFL Network and ESPN Deportes!
It will be a historic draft in that no one will be attending it in person. It was originally slated to take place in Las Vegas, but that ain’t happenin’ ‘cause of the CoROna. Instead, insanely rich Roger Goodell will announce names from his house in New York, specifically his basement, which I’m sure has been made to make him look rich but not “too rich”.
Here’s a mock draft from SBNation because you need one of those! Here are what some of the Draft Rooms look like!
SBNation has a NFL Draft group where you can follow your favorite team, but remember that your favorite place is here with your CN friends who are mostly dysfunctional people just like you!
