What can Miami Dolphins fans expect at the 2020 NFL Draft? A floating stage and boats!

The NFL Draft is coming to Las Vegas in April to coincide with the Raiders move from Oakland to Sin City for the 2020 season.

The Raiders posted some photos to their official Twitter account to give fans a first-glimpse into the red carpet, which will truly be unique compared to past drafts.

Fans heading to the draft will see a floating red carpet in the water at the Fountains of the Bellagio with players transported via boat to the red carpet, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The main stage for the draft is held next to Caesar’s Forum.

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, who led the Tigers to their first College Football Playoff national championship en route to winning the Heisman Trophy, is projected as the No. 1 pick for the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Cincinnati Bengals have the No. 1 overall pick.

The Miami Dolphins, who had the “Tank for Tua” strategy — in reference to Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was a preseason Heisman contender — backfire with a 5-11 record, have the No. 5 overall pick.

The draft is held April 23-25 in Las Vegas.

The original version of this story did not have the correct location for the main stage and the red carpet.
