Not sure if this should be here or Tailgate, but my question is this "Does anyone have plans of a Draft-Days Party" this year. Friday and Saturday would be ideal for our picks. IMHO Go Brownies!!!!

I'm definitely having my friends who follow the draft over. We will have beer and wings. Won't be much of a party though w/ the 11 month old twins sleeping directly over our heads. Sssshhhhhhhhhhhh . . . .

Of course if any Browns move makes me as happy as the Joe Thomas pick, the twins may be waking up . . .

Last year I had a bunch of Bay Area Browns Backers over. We were going nuts as the Browns kept trading back in the first round. I made chili and the beer flowed like...well...beer.

This year, the pub where we watch Browns games may hold a draft day party on Thursday the 22nd. A couple of us are going there tonight to check on their plans. The BABB are having our annual banquet on Saturday, 4/24 featuring Alex Mack as special guest. Are we going to have a ton of stuff to talk about...or what?

I'm having a few friends (Raiders, Steelers, Cowboys, Vikings fans) over for Thursday - pizza, wings, beer, and the draft - sounds like a perfect evening. If any of you are in Portland that day, feel free to come over - that includes you PortlandDawg. PM me for details.

Since I'll be working the following morning, I doubt I'd even have one beer. I'll probably just sit in front of my iMac at home and post 57 times on this board (with the draft on in the background). I'll have dinner but nothing fancy.

So I guess it's like a draft party....but without the people and the party.

With the draft being broken up over several days,, I doubt I go anywhere but my living room..

I hear you there.....its next to impossible to plan a whole draft party....thanks Commish

I am actually... going. To the draft.

Hopefully they'll pick a little better than when I went in 2006!

if they dont draft berry or hayden make sure you start a riot haha

I have to update my Browns wardrobe...

I have a Braylon Edwards jersey and a KWII t-shirt (both gifts) and a vintage Browns T-shirt circa 1985 that kind of smells like mold.

I'd like to get a Wright, Cribbs, and/or Thomas replica in time for the draft.

really reminds me of my draft party when we selected Brodney Pool my drunken brother out of know where screams out "who the *DJ Scratch* is Brodney Pool"

ever since be it at a home game or watching away games at home I remind him everytime he makes a play......its one of those had of been there moments to really enjoy it the way I and my friends did at the time

It is impossible to plan a draft party.. unless you do it like marti gra.. make it last a week

Who did you want that year, do you remember?

I was hoping our draft would go like:

1) Manny Lawson / Bobby Carpenter, Wimbley as last resort
2) Gabe Watson
3) Andrew Whitworth (I pimped him pretty hard...)
4a) Elvis Dumervil
4b) Rob Sims

I NEVER thought we'd be able to get Harrison in the 5th. I think he was generally projected 3rd-rounder that year. Was very happy about that.

I was worried about Ngata playing lazy, and I still maintain he would not be as good had we drafted him because we had no leadership on our 'D' to keep him motivated. I posted a preference list of NTs on this board that year and had Watson (as 2nd round pick) at 1, a guy from Utah as option 2 (with a 5th-round grade because of the value -- think he's out of football now) and Ngata at 3 (just because we'd have to use the #11 on him and I thought we absolutely needed pass-rush ahead of anything else in the draft.) I also posted that we shouldn't draft Oshinowo under any circumstances after I saw him being handled at his position of NT by Notre Dame's FB. I said he is not an NFL player.

I remember wanting Ngata, but I also remember Broderick Bunkley's name being thrown around.

I will probably just follow the draft from home.

No sense going to a bar when I can't drink ...... and it's too hard on my back to drive to Cleveland if they have a draft day party .....
