Nashville, Tennessee, was the center of the world last night as a city famous for country music was the site of the NFL Draft and all eyes were on it. Commissioner Roger Goodell almost suffered an injury while announcing the Mimi Dolphins’ No. 13 pick, N’Keal Harry got a call from the reigning champions, while the top ten projected pick Dwayne Haskins didn’t react well when New York Giants decided not to select him.
Goodell was not ready for Wilkins
The Miami Dolphins selected defensive tackle Christian Wilkins out of Clemson with the 13th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and the big guy was so excited that he almost took Commissioner Roger Goodell down during his celebration. However, Goodell was strong enough to survive this funny moment on his feet despite not expecting it.

The moment your dream comes true
As the reigning NFL champions, the New England Patriots got the 32nd pick in the draft and they decided to select wide receiver N’Keal Harry out of Arizona State University, but Bill Belichick couldn’t get him on the phone as something went wrong. Still, everything worked out for talented wideout and here you can see Harry’s reaction.

Haskins wasn’t happy with the Giants
It was widely expected that the New York Giants would select quarterback Dwayne Haskins with the No. 6 overall pick as Eli Manning’s new apprentice but they decided to take Duke quarterback Daniel Jones instead. Haskins was clearly disappointed with it but the Ohio State Buckeyes signal-caller will go to Washington Redskins to fight for the starting spot with Case Keenum.
Wait for it.
