The Rams Are Hosting A Draft Party This Weekend
By Steve Rivera
Los Angeles Rams fans will have a chance to rub shoulders with current and former players during the NFL Draft this weekend.
The Los Angeles Rams are celebrating the 2017 NFL Draft by hosting a party. The festivities, if you want to call them that, will be at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday April 29, day 3 of the draft.
But wait, there’s more.

As with any “Draft Party,” the Rams are also featuring a Fan Fest with appearances by current players as well as former team legends. Those noted as participating in the Fan Fest include Hall of Famer Jackie Slater, as well as veterans including former quarterback Vince Ferragamo, DT Reggie Doss, Center Dennis Harrah, TE David Hill, DB LeRoy Irvin, and K Mike Lansford.
Adding to the Draft Day events will be the Rams mascot Rampage, and the 2017 LA Rams Cheerleaders.
To add to the “theatrics” of the team’s Round 4 selection, the Rams will deploy Ferragamo along with a video collaboration featuring the Walking Dead: because that’s how you want to announce a draft pick in Hollywood.
All Los Angeles picks beginning on day 3 will originate from the Barker Hangar, and be hosted by Rams reporter Dani Klupenger and the NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano.
