The Best Way For A Potential Draft Pick To Do The NFL Draft Is At Home With Their Friends And Family Drinking Champagne

I fully know that as a Washington fan the Eagles are going to continually ruin my life for the next decade. The way they have built this team is infuriating to me. Their roster is stacked and it is driving me crazy. 

That being said, I'd like to point out how crazy it is that guys attend the draft and sit in the Green Room waiting for their name to be called. Unless you KNOW you are going in the top 5, shit maybe unless you know you are going number 1, I see no reason to be there for the ESPN cameras. Because every single year there is some poor sap like Will Levis who they pan to every 4 minutes, looking more and more distraught as teams pass over him. You then become "that guy" for life. The guy who sat in the green room staring at his phone for 4 hours while the internet memes you into bolivian. 

Instead, you should stay at home and have a big ol' party with your friends and family, like how Nolan Smith did it last night.

There is a 0.0% chance Nolan Smith will ever regret being in Braselton, GA instead of in Kansas City last night. Why would you ever in a million years want to shake Roger Goodell's hand and give him YOUR moment? Having a party with all your homies, your family, and copious amounts of champagne seems so much better in every single way. If Will Levis could take anything back, it wouldn't be his broken toe or drinking coffee with mayonnaise (huge red flag), it would be spending the night in that god forsaken green room.

And the thing is, I don't see any perks to being at the draft. Staying in a hotel, having to do media you don't want to do before you've even signed your contract, it's all a dog and pony show that you benefit nothing from. On the other hand, you could be celebrating your draft with class and style

 and not have to risk the potential of bumping into Jackson Mahomes backstage.

And then if like Levis you don't get drafted…well…you have a big ol' party going on with everyone who supports you, so it's a pretty good backup plan. Win-win.
