The NFL Draft is one of the greatest times of any football fan’s year. The possibilities are endless. Your favorite team has the opportunity to change the future of the franchise all in a couple of days by selecting the correct players. Much easier said than done as every other teams’ fans have found. But, regardless of what happens, there’s no denying that draft night is a heck of a lot of fun and if you’re into fun and are legally allowed to consume alcoholic beverages, this NFL Draft drinking game should be right up your alley. And if you’re one of those folks who don’t have work on Friday well then good for you. Like I’m jealous and I hate you.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not the first person to think of this idea. I wish I was but unfortunately, I’m not and there’s nothing wrong with that. I made an NFL combine drinking game this year and I had a lot of fun doing it, so I thought why not make one for the NFL Draft. I saw some others on the line this week and there are some really fun ones out there. When making mine, I did my best to not take any ideas from any others that I saw but I’ll also admit there a couple that I already had written down that I then saw on the line. They’re ones that anybody who has seen a few NFL Drafts could think of, so I figured I’d include them. Hope y’all like it and of course if you do partake in the
game, make for damn sure you’re not driving after playing. Be cool and just stay at your house or at a friend’s house. Don’t be a dummy and think you’ll be fine. Be smart about things.
