I live in Chicago, so I'll be going for sure. Hopefully will be able to get some tickets to enter the actual draft venue for one of the days. Otherwise, I'll be spending time in the Jaguars tent at the NFL Draft Town in Grant Park. 

 

Just curious if I should be expecting to see anyone else from this forum. Last year, the Jaguars booth was a ghost town. I'll be there proudly sporting my Blake Bortles jersey.

Nah, we have a pretty cool setup here in Jacksonville.
When it was in NY I went 5-6 years in a row. If you're able to get tickets (even if it's day 2 or 3) I would highly recommend going. It's a good time for football fans.

You go for the Alualu draft? I was there. Actually got on TV on NFL network in disbelief on the pick lol.

Not on day 1 but I'm sure our reaction was the same. Day 2/3 I was on ESPN a few times each year. We used to sit on the balcony right above the espn set. They would interact with us quite a bit during breaks. Chris carter threw food up once since we told him we were hungry and the food sucked at radio city.

Haha yep. It was awesome cause there weren't too many Jag fans, but the minute I saw another Jaguar jersey we became best friends right away lol

100% maybe we're friends and don't know it. I did have a guy in a MJD jersey strike up a conversation in the restroom which was slightly awkward but I didn't mind since there weren't too many jags fans on the 2nd/3rd days.

I think I had a John Henderson jersey on, but whatever... Good times (besides the actual draft).
