Come April, in front of a raucous crowd on a Las Vegas stage yet to be determined, these fateful words will be uttered:

“… the Las Vegas Raiders select … “

Who will the newest local franchise pick during the 2020 NFL Draft when the three-day extravaganza invades Las Vegas? Too soon to tell — even for Mel Kiper Jr.

Who could make one of the announcements? It could be you, if your bid is a winner.

ESPN, as part of its V Foundation fundraiser, is offering fans a chance to announce one of the selections during next season’s draft, scheduled for April 23-25 for Las Vegas.

If you are the successful bidder, you and a guest will attend the draft, meet ESPN’s NFL Draft broadcast team and take a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the network’s broadcast production compound in Las Vegas.

You can bid on eBay through July 10. The current top bid (as of 2 p.m.) is $2,050. All proceeds benefit The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
