Starting last night, dreams came true. After a long journey from as far back as Pop Warner for some to the collegiate level, the hard work finally paid off as 32 players heard their name called during the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Prior to hearing your name, the prospects go through rigorous workouts, countless interviews, etc. So, we thought we'd have a little fun with some of the guys. Earlier this week, we gave Eric Reid (18th overall by the 49ers), Sheldon Richardson (13th overall by the Jets), Menelik Watson and Bjoern Werner (24th overall by the Colts) a couple "what if" scenarios during the Conversion Sports and Entertainment "Sean John NFL Pre-Draft Luxury Gifting and Style Suite" event, organized by CC Carnie, to see what three things they would want with them on an island by themselves and which one album they could listen to for the rest of their lives.

What if you could have any rapper be a teammate of yours, who would it be and why?

Reid: I'm from Louisiana, so I'd go with Lil Wayne. I listened to him a lot growing up since he's from New Orleans. We have a lot of pride in Young Money. 

Werner: I can't think of anyone right now. Sorry, I'm tired. 

Watson: I would have 2Pac as my quarterback for his fieriness and his ability to lead.  

Richardson: 2 Chainz. Put him at wideout. 

Alright…true. [Laughter]

What if you could draft your top 5 female celebs of all time, who would it be and in what order?

Watson: [Laughs] Oh, gosh. Growing up, I had a big crush on Alicia Keys, so she'd be my No. 1. For some reason, I had a crazy crush on Pink, so she's No. 2. Then, Beyoncé, Karyn Parsons from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and I'd throw Kelly Rowland in there, too. 

Reid: [Laughs] My girlfriend is going to kill me. You're gonna get me in trouble. 

OK. Obviously, your girlfriend will be No. 1.

Reid: So, on the record, my girlfriend's No. 1. After that, it's Beyoncé, Paula Patton, Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez.

Richardson: No. 1 is Lisa Raye, then Stacey Dash, Alicia Keys, Rihanna and Lauryn Hill.

Werner: First, my wife. My childhood crush was Jennifer Lopez. That's it. Let's just do top two.

What if you could switch places with any celebrity, who would it be?

Watson: [Laughs] I don't know if I would want to do that. I guess, The Rock. Just to see what his life is like. 

Werner: That's a good question. Diddy would be nice. Being Diddy would be real nice. [Laughs]

Richardson: That's a tough one, man. To be honest, Birdman. That's the $100 million man. And he's loyal to his family, which is something I like and try to portray.

Reid: I guess Barack Obama. I guess I would like to know how it feels to be the man in charge. 

But you were the man in charge at LSU, so you kinda know how it feels already. [Laughter]

What if you could only keep one album for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

Watson: Ooooh. OK. I'd go with Teflon Don.

Richardson: Oh man, Rick Ross' Trilla. A little old school right there. Port of Miami too.

Reid: I'll say Tha Carter II. I'd just put it on and press play. 

Werner: I don't know. I was never into albums. I'm always listening to songs. 

So, is there one song that you could listen to for the rest of your life?

Werner: "Here Comes the Boom" by P.O.D. is the first one that popped into my head because it pumps me up.

What if you had to live on an island, what three things would you take with you?

Reid: Food, water and shelter. [Laughs]

Werner: A phone, if it works. Some kind of weapon, like a knife. And some food.

Watson: A Brita water filter, an endless supply of potato chips…

Any one in particular?

Watson: Lay's. It doesn't matter what flavor. And a grill, so when I catch fish.

Richardson: An unlimited supply of food. [Laughs] A girl, hopefully. 

We won't go in-depth with that one. 

Richardson: No, we won't. [Laughter] And enough supplies on the island so I can build a boat and get off the island. [Laughs]
