The 2025 NFL Draft is here...

... be sure to join our live chat all three days. We'll have a Friday Happy Hour, too. All links inside.

Apr 24, 2025

We made it.

It’s draft day.

Please. I beg of you. Do not waste time watching the NFL-sanitized slop that is “Draft Day” with Kevin Costner. You’re better off YouTubing draft broadcasts from years past for a laugh. (The 1999 draft is peak drama.)

Here’s what you can expect at Go Long over the next three days.

I’ll be covering the draft at Bills HQ… albeit with an NFL-wide focus. Expect a column each day.
Bob McGinn will author an NFC North-centric piece each day.
Join me on a Zoom Happy Hour Friday at 6 p.m. (EST) to chat about Round 1 and anything you’d like. All readers are welcomed at this link. (Note that this is a different time than originally posted.)
Gameday Chat! Man, this is always fun. Hang out with fellow Go Long subscribers from around the world — Salamanca, NY to Istanbul, Turkey. I’ll send a link out a couple hours before the draft kicks off. Let’s discuss ‘n debate the picks all night long.

Also, be on the lookout for a Substack Live video (or two) from One Bills Drive the next 72 hours. Will be sure to rope in a Bills beat writer to discuss Brandon Beane’s decisions. Download the app and flip notifications on if you’d like to join:
