NEW YORK -- You might have heard that NFL prospects, for the first time ever, will have walk-up music as they take the Radio City Music Hall stage at tonight's draft.
This is one of those ideas that you can believe someone didn't come up with sooner. This is the greatest moment of these young guys' lives, so why wouldn't you have them soundtrack it?
You'll find below the choice of each prospect. I leaned on NFL Media editor and newsroom hip-hop enthusiast David Ely for instant reaction.

" Blow Up" - J. Cole
Teddy Bridgewater
" The World's Greatest" - R. Kelly

Note: This is the same song from that weird Colin Kaepernick commercial where crazed fans are attacking his team bus.
