The 7 most fun moments of the 2019 NFL Draft, ranked

The 2019 NFL Draft gave us a fairly entertaining weekend. Sure, the players drafted during the event are the biggest stories, but we’re not here to talk about them. No, we want to highlight those little things that add color and character to make the draft more entertaining.

From chest bumps to #nice jokes, here’s a ranking of the seven most fun moments of the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Browns traded up in the second round to select LSU cornerback Greedy Williams. That prompted new Browns receiver, and former LSU receiver, Odell Beckham Jr. to get on social media and record a video welcoming the newest Tiger to the team.

The video was just OBJ yelling “Greedy!” over and over again, but it was great to see him get excited about someone from his alma mater getting drafted to his team.

There was a long list of former players who took to the podium to announce picks, but none of them were as entertaining as Reggie Wayne. In the heart of Titans country, Wayne talked big trash to the fanbase of the Colts’ longtime AFC South rival.

Or, if you look at it through Wayne’s eyes, it wasn’t much of a rivalry at all.

The best part about Wayne’s speech is that he wasn’t even exaggerating. The Titans are indeed 3-17 against the Colts in their last 20 matchups.

One of the nicest moments of the draft was when former Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee announced the 69th pick in the draft.

The Jaguars selected Josh Oliver, a tight end from San Jose State, and Scobee made sure to give a quick pause after he said it was the 69th pick in the draft.

Nice, Josh Scobee. Nice.

No one made a bigger entrance into the NFL than new Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. After Wilkins’ name was called by Roger Goodell, he showed off his enthusiasm by hitting Goodell with a surprise chest bump, almost knocking the commissioner over.

Even though his life flashed in front of his eyes, Goodell had to feel good about someone being that happy to see him — especially considering how loudly he gets booed at the draft.

Wilkins is known for having good, wholesome fun. His excitement at the draft was just the next extension of that.

One day before the draft kicked off, Dwayne Haskins pleaded to his future team to also take one of his receivers from Ohio State — Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, or Johnnie Dixon.

Haskins was eventually drafted by Washington with the 15th pick, and it didn’t take too much longer for his new team to grant his request. In the third round, Washington drafted McLaurin, who could end up being one of the steals of the draft.

According to McLaurin, Haskins might have had some behind-the-scenes influence to help him land in Washington.

Haskins asked for one of his guys and Washington delivered. That was pretty cool to see.

No player was more relaxed on draft night than Nick Bosa. When the 49ers called to tell him they were taking him second overall, he answered the phone with a cool “Yooo.” Then when general manager John Lynch passed the phone to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Bosa greeted him with a hilarious, “What’s up my guy?”

He sure did act comfortable with the organization. It would seem that Bosa had known for a while where he was going to play professional ball.

We’re cheating a bit here because this pick didn’t actually happen during the draft, but this might be the best thing to be revealed from the weekend.

When D.K. Metcalf met with the Seahawks at the NFL Combine, a Seahawks scout convinced Metcalf to come into the meeting shirtless. That’s strange enough on its own, but Pete Carroll upped the ante by taking his shirt off to match Metcalf’s energy.

This was just the beginning of a relationship that culminated with the Seahawks drafting Metcalf at the end of the second round.
