And what will you be doing?
My Russian friend deals at Hard Rock in downtown Cincinnati so she wants me to go there with her while she works, which she works from something like 12 to 12 or 12 to 10. If I do go, I'd be up a lot or down a lot by the time then draft rolls around so I'd take a break and go get drinks and watch it (at least the start and our pick). That way, I can also be following on my phone and posting on here.
Friday, I'll most likely watch them at my place or take my iPad down to Wings & Rings so I can watch the picks, see analysis, and post on here.
Saturday, I'll probably just watch them here so I can follow more teams and get more information on guys I may not have necessarily heard much about and get a better feel for reactions on here.
What are your plans? Do you have any traditions?

Order food and watch from home. Always.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

I always watch round 1 from the green room and then watch the later rounds from a jail cell.

That's normally what I do but I've been going so nuts in the past year stuck at home that I want to get out and play some poker and then I can watch it from the casino. Plus, I've been ripping it up so much lately in online poker (up $281 right now after just 61 hands) that I have the itch.
I figure that I can always stop playing and have cocktails for the draft (like I said) or even just take my manual chair over and Uber home if I'm not feeling it.

I might end up in a jail cell if we make some stupid picks.

No place like home. Might have to break down, fire up the grill & drink a cold one.

I am moving to Naples, Fl. this weekend. So, night #1 at my Cincinnati old home I sold. Night #2 leaving around 6 p.m. and driving into Georgia so will listen on Sirius radio. Same for Saturday, listen on final leg into Naples and our new home. Yes, it has internet and TV, we closed on it April 6th so set that up back then.
We had no beds, furniture or chairs, but we had those things.
My wife needs to sleep a lot for my plan to work 100%.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

In my mancave. Even took Friday off to celebrate whoever we pick, even if its a kicker in round one. Or cry, or fap or something. Who knows at this point? I just hope we don't let the clock run out thinking it's someone else's pick or Zac's in the shitter too long or MB has a stroke or something in that time the clock is ticking.

I'll be at First Energy for the first round and then probably watch the rest with the family back home in Dayton. If I'm on TV you'll know me by the obnoxious cape.

First round moves too damn slow. With the Bengals picking early I probably won't watch very long. I'll check in from time to time just to see who was taken, but I won't be watching that much.
Friday night at home.
Saturday I am busy with other stuff. i will just check in when it is all over.

You're a meat dog!
I LOVE IT!
Taking Friday off to celebrate/cry/whatever else is dedication!
With how I typically play poker, I only play big hands, which means I win a lot or lose a lot (I am getting better about just playing small or medium hands, or at least folding instead of trying to buy pots). Once I'm up big, I do try to play a lot of smaller pots but I do get sucked in a lot.
The only reason I mention that is I'll most likely be up a lot or down a lot by the time of the draft, so I'll be ready to go to a restaurant in the casino to watch the first round (I think there's only one or two restaurants in Hard Rock).

It’ll probably take at least an hour before we get to our pick. Seems like it drags so long.

I periodically check the results, but I don't watch any of it. I don't understand the appeal.

I will watch it all in the man cave. Took Friday off so I will be wasting a lot of time this week.
Those going to Cleveland for the draft let us know how the experience is. I’m thinking of going to Vegas for next year’s draft but it seems like it could get a little boring just waiting around for your team to pick?

I stopped watching our drafts the year we took Og. Which is sad. I love the drafts, but that year was so bad I stopped watching because it wasn't worth the aggravation of watching the team spiral downward.
Last year's draft was solid, but I'm not watching this one live. I'm hanging out with some friends who don't care about football and I'll wait until the next morning to see if the Bengals are back to drafting well, or just throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks. If I read they've done anything other than draft OL in the first round, I honestly will probably skip the rest of the draft.

I work 3rd so unfortunately I'll be at work Thurs and Fri night. Hoping I can watch from the ESPN app or YouTube or something.

Bummer!
I hope you can at least stay up-to-speed with what's going on because that would drive me nuts!

I will watch the first 5-10 picks at home before following the rest of the draft online. Ain't nobody got time for how long they have drawn that shit out for.
