In 2019 I went to the draft when it was in Nashville and it was an awesome
experience. I have always enjoyed the draft but I'm not a nerd that watches rounds 4-7 on a nice spring Saturday afternoon. Nashville has it's own appeal but it was super cool to see fans of all 32 teams in their jerseys parading around Broadway for 72 hours.
The coolest part was the clueless bachelorette parties (dozens of them) that had no idea the NFL draft was in town that weekend and wondered why everything was fully booked and crowded. I saw a lot of tears that weekend and they weren't all from Cleveland Brown and NY Jets fans.
