Absolutely. I could swear Schefter was peaking over the shoulders of the teams as they wrote down their selection. Every time they cut to him just prior to the announcement, he was dead on correct. And when he didn't have the scoop, Mayock was right there with his guess, that was right about 9 times out of 10. You could really tell he was updating his board as they went through with each pick. He clearly knew the players and knew the team's needs. It was actually pretty amazing to see a team so well prepared. It got to a point that Schefter would say his piece and everyone would just go... ok good pick, so Mayock tell us about this kid.
They got a little out of their game in the 2nd round. But, I think the 5 minute picks may have had something to do with that.
For once, I watched a show and actually felt like I was being educated and given inside information. It was a revelation. I flipped over to ESPN a few times mostly to see what Boomer would say. But by about the mid first round, it was just too sad; so it was all NFL Network from then on. ESPN would either be in commercial or have someone blabbering about something no longer pertinent. Kiper definitely looked lost in comparison to Mayock. Honestly, it was night and day between the two broadcasts.
I kinda feel bad for Mayock and Schefter now though. No way they can top today's performance. They were that accurate and good. If you like the draft and don't have NFL Network... buy a new house and get a dish on it for next year. You won't regret it.
