The 2020 NFL Draft is off to a great start. The three-day event starting April 23 will be held in Las Vegas this year, and it can't get any more ... well, Vegas.

This isn't an understatement. Not even close. 

When players arrive to the draft, they in essence will do so on water. The NFL Draft Red Carpet will take place on the water of the Fountains of Bellagio. Players will be transported to the stage by boat. The main stage for the draft will be held next to Caesars Forum. 

To no surprise, the Raiders celebrated Tuesday's news(?), as the Silver and Black is moving to Vegas later this year. 

“The Raiders are thrilled to join the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the resort corridor, and the local community in welcoming fans to Las Vegas for the 2020 NFL Draft,” Raiders president Marc Badain said in a press release. “Just as the NFL journey begins on draft weekend for many young players, the Silver and Black’s journey in the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World is also just beginning.

"There is no better place to showcase this special event than on the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, and fans will be treated to a truly unique experience in an iconic location.”

Look, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is oblivious to plenty of things, but has he never seen The Office? Someone is bound to pull a Michael Scott.

If anyone will pull a Jim Halpert, it's Goodell. 

The NFL is embracing Las Vegas, so hey, go all the way in. Here's to nothing going wrong in a place nicknamed Sin City.
