The event that NFL fans have been clamoring for since the Lombardi trophy was handed to the Denver Broncos is finally here: the 2016 NFL Draft. While most fans merely read scouting reports and mock drafts, listeners of The Drive on AM 590 had a chance to actually participate in a mock draft live on air at Brewsky’s on 84th and Park.
The mock draft consisted of 31 listeners which represented GM’s of each NFL team, with the exception of the Patriots who do not have a first round pick this year. If a GM thinks their team will trade their pick, they may write “trade” on their draft card. Each listener that gets their team’s draft pick correct is entered into a drawing to win a grand prize that is to be determined.
