Whats up with that? You don't see Leonard Williams from USC skippin the draft! You didn't see Reggie Bush skippin the draft. Show up and be the face of your franchise and represent!

I think if you're the #1 pick you should be there. Has the #1 pick ever not gone on stage to shake hands with the commish? So yeah Winston should show up. #1 pick is supposed to be a face of not just his franchise but the entire NFL, you can't be sitting at home.

Don't really care what Mariotta does. Personally I think he'll bust in the league anyway and I could see him falling pretty far in the draft if certain teams pass on him.

Who cares, if they want to be with their families let them. It's their special moment it doesn't matter if they are the first pick or the last.

The draft will be different this year. A lot fewer NFL team personnel will be in Chicago too.

Rumors say Jameis was asked to stay home because Goodell did not want to be photographed doing the hug/handshake routine with him.

I think it's disappointing. I think it's a pretty cool thing to see the NFL spread it around to multiple cities but it will be disappointing if prospects start hitting the "cool" cities but skipping others. If they hold it in Miami or LA one year with a 100% attendance rate but go to Green Bay or Cleveland and get 50% the next, I don't see how those fan bases can't take it as a slight.
