Estimations ranged to upwards of 200,000 people attending draft activities through Saturday, but with the crowd that has assembled tonight and the weather in the forecast for Friday and Saturday, the number could go up.

If you were one of the lucky few to win tickets to the NFL draft, you'll have a great view of the event. However, tickets are still available … if you want to pay as much as $2,500 on Craigslist.
