Okay, I hope you read my prologue before checking out this live feed! If you haven't, I solemnly exhort you to do so now. But if you have, welcome aboard!
With each input in this live feed, I have included a timestamp (CDT, US/Canada) of the action. So, it's time to get your refresh button ready in 3...2...1...
7:12pm:
7:19pm: Caleb Williams (USC), as expected, is headed to the Bears.
7:38pm: Marvin Harrison Jr of Ohio St is the first Big Ten product off the board. Only the Big 12 has yet to produce a pick among last year's Power Five.
7:52pm: Malik Nabers of LSU has gone to the Giants. He is the second Tiger off the board, giving his alma mater fourteen points. However, LSU is one pick away from Draft Day Party Hangover due to having racked up fifteen points a year ago.
8:13pm: BREAKING NEWS! Washington is the first Draft Day Party Hangover case of the 2024 NFL Draft. After having produced zero picks a year ago, the Huskies have produced TWO first round picks!
8:14pm: The first trade of the 2024 draft has occurred, as the Vikings trade up one spot and also get a sixth-round selection in exchange for the 11th and fourth- and fifth-round picks. Most expect J.J. McCarthy of Michigan to be selected by Minnesota.
8:45pm: As I was waiting for the Saints to hear their selection, I put on Gentle Giant's song "Words from the Wise" from their 1978 nadir, Giant for a Day. That band's worst will always kick the ass of your best.
9:04pm: Every power conference has had at least one pick with Byron Murphy II of Texas going to the Seahawks.
9:07pm: Dallas Turner of Alabama has gone to the Vikings as the second Alabama Crimson Tide player off the board, giving his alma mater fourteen points. However, Bama is far from hangover as they racked up 45 points a year ago.
9:17pm: Amarius Mims of Georgia has gone to the Bengals as the second Georgia Bulldog off the board, giving his alma mater fourteen points. However, Georgia is far from hangover as they racked up 38 points a year ago.
9:39pm: Chop Robinson of Penn St has gone to the Dolphins as the second Nittany Lion off the board, giving them fourteen points. However, PSU is not quite at hangover as they racked up twenty-two points a year ago.
9:47pm: Quinyon Mitchell is the first non-Power Five player off the board, coming from Toledo to the Eagles. Gotta love the MACtion on the draft stage.
9:53pm: BREAKING NEWS! A second case of Draft Day Party Hangover emerges with Brian Thomas Jr putting LSU over last year's total of 15 points (21 this year so far)!
10:04pm: The draft host Lions traded up to get Terrion Arnold out of Alabama, who was actually in the draft theatre. Despite his being the third Crimson Tide player this year, Bama is still less than halfway to hangover.
10:31pm: A Make-a-Wish recipient and Chiefs fan named Justin just welcomed Xavier Worthy of Texas to Kansas City. This means the Longhorns have racked up fourteen points. However, they are still two points short of hangover.
10:52pm: And that's the first round! Xavier Legette of South Carolina stays in the Carolinas by going to the Panthers, and his alma mater is the 23rd school represented this year so far (same as a year ago). Conference breakdown (2023 alignments): ACC plus Notre Dame 5 schools, none with more than one; Big Ten 3 schools, four selections; Big 12 1 school as Texas had two picked; Pac-12 (RIP) six schools, eight selections with Washington stricken with hangover; SEC eight schools, thirteen selections with LSU stricken by hangover. Next live feed drops around 6pm CDT tomorrow for rounds 2 and 3!!!
