First you saw the road closures. Then came the traffic. By now, you know the NFL Draft is upon us. You might even know how the whole thing works.

Wildest, most raucous atmosphere in draft history. Philadelphia bringing it.

Here’s a recap of scenes from the first day of the NFL Draft in Philly – so those who attended can look back fondly before returning today, and those who stayed far, far away (but might be a little curious) can catch a glimpse from a safe distance.
