The NFL will hold an in-person draft April 29 to May 1 with limited attendance and protocols for limiting the spread of COVID-19.​

The leagues announced Monday that "a select number of prospects, fans and media crews will be on-site" for the draft, and that fans attending draft activities "will be required to wear face coverings and adhere to appropriate physical distancing." Some draft prospects will participate virtually, and all fans seated near the main stage -- where commissioner Roger Goodell will announce the picks -- will be fully vaccinated. Last year, with most of the country going into lockdown, the NFL held a virtual draft featuring Bill Belichick's dog, among other memorable characters. The proceedings will be slightly more normal in 2021 with COVID cases ebbing and vaccination rates on the rise.
 
So this means that in addition to teams having former players / kids / or the Commissioner announce their pick, that they're expanding that and including select superfans too? Cool!

I can see it now, "With the 45th pick in the 7th round, the Miami Dolphins select Dan Marino the IV'th, QB - Pittsburgh!" ..... Sir, there is no 45th pick in the 7th round ... the draft ended 2 hours ago ... please exit the stage ... Sir the microphone is OFF ... please leave now or we'll have the police escort you off ... No, we will not be signing your T-shirt ... yes, I think the Dolphins have an excellent chance this year, now please leave.
 
Are the Dolphins having a draft party this year?
 
I'll probably go. My roomates and I have watched this like hawks and since they are from cleveland I don't have hotels to pay for
 
It is in Cleveland and Browns fans have years of practice wearing paper bags over their heads, so this shouldn’t be a problem preventing a COVID outbreak.
 
Outstanding. Let these guys have their moment on the stage. If they made playing games workable, they can certainly make the draft do able. And the watch party just got 10 times better.
