Stephen Rannazzisi knows this weekend’s huge football Draft is wildly unpredictable. That’s precisely why he’s teamed up with Pabst Light for one of the boldest promotions of the year: If you can correctly predict the first 25 picks, matching players to teams, Pabst Light will reward you with a full season’s worth of beer.

“I’m thrilled to be heading to Green Bay,” Rannazzisi tells BroBible, clearly stoked about his first-ever pilgrimage to Lambeau Field. “I’ve never been, but I hear you just drive through a neighborhood and suddenly, boom!, you’re at the stadium. I’m ready.”
In Green Bay, he’ll hit the streets, promoting Pabst Light, and mix it up with football fans. And, of course, keeping a running tally of cheese heads.
“I’d say about 75% of the folks I’ll interview will have some cheese-related gear,” Steve predicts. “I’m even wearing green in anticipation.”
But let’s get back to the contest. “Pabst is offering free beer for an entire football season if you can accurately nail down picks one through 25, the team and the player,” Rannazzisi explains. “It’s gonna be amazing. But it’s incredibly hard. I told my 16-year-old son about it—he’s got the confidence of Conor McGregor—and he’s like, ‘Bet. Done.’ I’m like, do you realize you have to predict trades? What if the Giants trade down from three? You gotta call that. It’s like you need that dude from ‘The Mentalist’—he’s the only person I’m genuinely afraid could pull this off.”
It reminds Rannazzisi of the elusive “perfect bracket” in March Madness. “There’s always some 16-year-old kid who cruises through schoolwork in an hour, with tons of free time,” he says. “We did an episode of ‘The League’ about this called ‘The Oracle,’ a kid with all day to crunch numbers. That’s who might win this.”
Speaking of crystal balls, Rannazzisi has a spicy draft prediction: “I think five quarterbacks are going first round. Everyone says this year’s class isn’t as good, expecting fewer quarterbacks, but I disagree. Giants will try moving up to get Jackson Dart. Steelers might take Shedeur Sanders, and someone’s moving up late for Joe Milton.”
He’s also keeping an eye on Kyle McCord. “New Orleans feels right, maybe end of the second round.”
When the conversation inevitably drifts to his beloved Giants, Rannazzisi’s game plan is clear. “At three, I’d take Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter—probably Carter—and then do whatever it takes to move back up for Jackson Dart. That’s a win in my book, even if it means losing a player like Thibodeaux.”
As a long-suffering Giants fan chatting with me—a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fans—Rannazzisi acknowledges the uphill climb. “Congrats, by the way. NFC East is brutal. For you guys, it’s great; for us, it’s basically four losses off the bat.”
Still, nothing dampens his enthusiasm for the draft’s spectacle. “Green Bay fans are legendary. My friends went to a playoff game there once, negative-27 degrees, and Packers fans were shirtless with Vaseline on their skin, ready to party. They even made insulated seat cushions for visiting Giants fans. They’re crazy, but in the nicest way possible.”
While imagining “The League” in 2025, Rannazzisi laughs, “Andre’s into crypto now, Taco’s a crypto genius, Ruxin’s fully using AI, Pete’s still dating, and Jenny probably left me. And Rafi? He’s definitely in someone’s presidential cabinet.”
For now, though, all eyes are on the draft, and that sweet, season-long beer reward. “Imagine someone nails all 25 picks,” he laughs. “Insane, but it would be awesome.”
