Two years after the NFL Draft was supposed to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, it is finally happening.

When the Jacksonville Jaguars are officially announced to be on the clock, it will mark the start of a three-day party for players, fans and franchises alike.

Originally, the plan was for the draft to be held in the middle of the Bellagio fountain. When a player in attendance heard his name called, he was going to get onto a boat and be ferried out to the stage.

I would like to request a moment of silence for the concept of #NFLDraft picks being ferried by boat to the stage in the Bellagio fountain

The boat ended up being nixed, but the Bellagio background ended up coming true.

On the night before the draft, the city gave a taste of what is to come. The Bellagio fountains took a break from their normal routine and gave it an NFL twist.

On draft day, fans started to line up on Las Vegas Boulevard more than six hours ahead of the first pick.

With everything ready to go for the big night, there was always one looming question—

Will one of the first round NFL Draft picks go full-send after having his name called and jump into the Bellagio fountain? And if they do, what happens?

Well, the NFL has a plan. Should one of the first rounders jump into the fountain (or if someone somehow slipped and fell in), there will be a rescue crew at the ready.

Assuming that there is not a fountain-jump in mind, the “pick up” team presumably will have a light workload. However, if there is a prospect with plans to belly flop, it would be one of the greatest moments in NFL Draft history. Fingers crossed.
