The first night of the draft, April 25, could be looked upon as a national holiday for some. With all eyes centered on Nashville, Tenn., the talent in this year's green room could potentially represent one of the most talented classes in recent memory.
The group, limited to a specific number, is selected by the NFL based on its draft status. Most, if not all in attendance hear their named called by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in the first 32 selections that make up the first round.
In recent history, current Redskins Brandon Scherff, Josh Doctson and Jonathan Allen were all invited to their respective draft's green room, and made the walk onto the stage for the lifelong memory of shaking the commissioner's hand and putting on a burgundy and gold draft hat for the first time.
Among the list of prospects who will step out of limos and onto the red carpet on that first night will be Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver, Alabama running back Josh Jacobs and plenty of others who have had their name linked to Washington in the recent months -- Duke quarterback Daniel Jones, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock and Florida State edge rusher Brian Burns.
