As the NFL Draft heads to Las Vegas, football fans watch, cheer and sometimes jeer over every pick, trade, and calculated move. Bud Light understands that sometimes having that favorite beer within reach can help the watching experience even better. This year, the official beer sponsor of the NFL is going to reward the perfect draft.

From March Madness to the Kentucky Derby, there can be a reward for correctly predicting the final outcome. While statisticians might have equations to better the odds and others are just lucky, that ability to see into the future and correctly predict the outcome might sound a little like the super hero multiverse.

With the NFL Draft, football fans can tend to play armchair coach. Regardless of a team having a hole on the defensive line or needing a solid tight end, some people think that a big name can bring that Super Bowl ring. Still, only the general manager and coach really know the best choice for the team.

But, trying to predict that outcome is part of the excitement for the NFL Draft. Just like the tradition of fans jeering the Commissioner, correctly predicting that pick is part of the entertainment of the experience. Now, Bud Light wants to reward that Perfect Draft.

According to Bud Light, the person who picks all 32 draft selections could win $15 million. That payday is just as good as the football players who are getting selected.

As Andy Goeler, Vice President of Marketing, Bud Light said, “Bud Light continues to cement itself as the beer of choice for football fans across the country by providing them experiences and something to cheers to year-round. Our ‘Perfect Draft’ campaign is the latest way Bud Light is celebrating the most passionate fanbase in sports with the ultimate prize – getting paid like a first-round NFL pick.”

All Perfect Draft selections must be turned in by Thursday, April 28 by 7 p.m. More information can be found on the brand’s website.

For anyone in Las Vegas for the NFL Draft, Bud Light will be on hand following all the action. Even if that first pick isn’t the correct prediction, there could be a cold one waiting to make the sadness a little more bearable.
