Should be a simulcast, as ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney ....

I waited until the draft coverage began, but as I originally stated, there are multiple feeds from multiple locations ....

It’s sports. Actual live sports. I’ll be watching.

Usually a draft is complicated enough when coming from one location, plus player cams at whichever location they are at. Now, you throw in the instability of live shots at multiple locations, which can be sketchy even with broadcast TVU units (backpack transmitters sending HD video over cellular data), but instead going with regular consumer wifi with 32 team feeds plus player feeds all coordinated to a central control room where directors/TDs cut the program for air. It’s a complicated production with a lot of moving parts. I was a producer for the variety kids telethon for years and know what a huge technical undertaking that was, hence my amusement at those calling this draft nothing more than a fantasy draft ?

The player is the last to know when the dream is over

I gotta say, ive worked in media and television production for the past 35 years and am amused by everyone who thinks televising this draft is as easy as some skype call

Anyone who wins using autopick should be publicly shamed through all of eternity

Fantasy drafts don’t involve multiple remote webcams at probably fifty locations

To assume his behavior would continue once leaving the jags is exactly that ... an assumption. I also think that property motivated, he would supplant Motor as the RB1, but that’s a whole different issue.

Agreed and I definitely don’t hate the idea of drafting one. I am however a believer that a window for a championship doesn’t remain open long ... it’s the same reason we gave up a young rookie WR in the first round to trade for Diggs: you’re not guessing or waiting on a rookie-you know what you have with established young vets.

Well there isn’t a much tougher situation than last years jags season, and yet Fournettes production indicated that he reacted just fine sundays at 1p

And I’m absolutely cool signing him for this season only .... you’re gonna get max motivation in a contract year I don’t see NO anywhere in this response

I look at the general dysfunction of the Jags organization as of late, and the mess that Coughlin made with his old old school approach and subsequent firing. Fournette may not win the “hardest working man in football” award, but his stats tell me he works plenty hard enough on game days.

Yet he gave up his first for Diggs ... not advocating for any of these niners but FA and trades play an important role in building a championship roster

Mickey would never steer Rocky wrong

I don’t find throwing beer cans at opposing players a illustration of “amazing fans” but I don’t table jump or puke and pass out either, so I suppose I’m not an amazing fan

Well we’d have fournette to come in and run out the clock! Seriously though, you know had a bill taken Brady out, even if it cost us that game, fans would put him on the WOF

Thinking we might be ready for savvy established vets with a track record of success to push us over the top while your QB is under a rookie contract .... ya know, kind of like signing Diggs over a “young hungry rookie WR”

Amusing that Beane himself has been quoted as saying he’s not looking for choirboys, yet poster after poster seems to think we’d never consider signing Fournette because he’s such a problem .... I guess many have their narrative to push, damn the facts full speed ahead

The Athletic is filled with outstanding sports journalism, Graham Included. Your entitled to your opinion of course, but to not read something because Graham’s name is attached is short sighted.

If Motor did that, bills fans would be losing their minds with “damn, now THATS a team first culture guy”

I’d fall asleep in meetings if I played for Marrone too ...

Just under 1200 yards and 76 receptions last season ... so by versatility you mean he doesn’t carry the gatoraid bucket?

I guess pretty much carrying the offense in their AFC championship year was very disappointing for them....

Titans are a solid team top to bottom. I’m not “scared” either, but they outperformed the bills when it mattered most and they’ve earned a healthy dose of respect.
