Welcome to the United States of America, where absolutely anything can be transformed into a glitzy ceremony, a nation-gripping spectacle, the talk of millions around the world.
The NFL Draft is, in the eyes of many, as captivating as the sport itself, as the 32 professional teams barter for the best and brightest of the college football stable.
A whopping 256 players will be drafted over three days before NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announces the 257th and final selection, affectionately awarded the title of Mr Irrelevant.
To non-American eyes, the Draft is a unique process, as cameras are set up in living rooms across the land capturing the moments players receive the nod, while the picks will be announced by a series of former players, legends and fans in front of a live audience set to descend on Detroit.
