Six days from now, it’ll be officially on.
Roger Goodell will lazily stroll to the podium with an unmerciful raining of boos pouring down from the Dallas crowd to call out the very first pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, via the Cleveland Browns. He’ll next call out a name for the New York Giants or whichever team gives up the farm for a potential franchise game-changing quarterback.
What comes next is when the real lightning-rod anticipation begins—the New York Jets selection at No. 3.
For years, Radio City Music Hall was the only home of the NFL Draft.
