WATCH: Come Celebrate Draft Night With Patch!

Are you excited for the pro football draft? If you are -- and can't wait to see who our local team picks -- then we've got an event that's sure to pump you up.

Patch is celebrating draft night in Cleveland (which is basically the championship here, right?) with two great ways for you to get involved.

Draft Party: At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Patch and will team up and throw a party to celebrate the first round of the draft. We'll be set up at the bar, and we'll be giving away prizes. Hint: You can eat some of the prizes!

Live Chat: During the draft party, Patch Editors Chris Mazzolini and Mitch Cooper will be hosting a live chat that will stream on all of Ohio's Patch sites. That will give you the perfect venue to discuss the draft and who the team picks during the first round. So even if you can't make it to Panini's, you can join in the fun just by going to your community's Patch site.

Since Patch also has a presence in the Pittsburgh area, we will also be merging our chat with the folks from there. So Cleveland fans, don't miss the opportunity to talk trash with those bums from Pitts-puke!

Stay tuned for more this week!
