Trey Lance seems to have scared teams off from reaching in the 1st for a QB. Six or seven years ago, Sanders and Dart would've been off the board by now.
No prospective or new fan of the NFL is tuning into the freaking draft. It's televised for serious fans, and the league does everything possible to make it unenjoyable for them.
That was a full network initiative. They put the biggest tragedy of every pick's life up on screen with their position, school, hometown, etc. It was bizarre.
There's just so much annoying fluff.
Does anyone - ANYONE - enjoy seeing current or former players getting up there and doing the whole "What's up (fill in team) Nation!!!" routine?
Weird fact I read today:
You know that unmistakable, trademark chime they play on TV right before they announce the pick?
The first draft pick they ever did that with was Donte Whitner.
Sean McDermott saw that you're predicting the first four picks to be defensive players and would like to officially extend an offer to you to work in the scouting department.
I wish it went back to six teams as well.
The Bills would've had a bye in four of the past five postseasons. Tough to think it wouldn't have made a difference one of those years.
