Let’s face it: Aside from trades and your team’s picks, the NFL Draft is a colossal bore.
The three-day, 16-hour extravaganza is a name-reading marathon and can put even the most ardent NFL supporter to sleep.
As such, we’re providing NFL fans (watching on ESPN, that is) with an accompanying drinking game to pass the time by boozing to all the most overused buzzwords, clichés, and traditions of the draft.
* Note: Don’t be a moron. Know your limit and don’t drink & drive.
