Good. Panning to the guy getting picked before its announced is annoying and destroys the moment

This is what I'm thinking about as well. Those effing cell phone shots. 

[Dr. Fong]

They've been saying this for the past couple of years and they continue to do it.

What!  You mean there’ll be no cameras on the Shut Down Corner we’re picking at 12??

[mikemac2001]

Lol yes they won’t ruin the bills pick because they will be on a 5 min commercial then talk about the following 2 picks

I don’t like the draft coverage. In recent years I’ve barely watched and just waited to see the pick video online. I think it’s combination of the annoying spoiling, the ill-timed commercials, and the hype machine that just makes me want to look away. When they spread it to three days that sealed the deal for me. The draft was once a great event, but now it’s completely up its own ass.

[Jamie Nails]

I'll be at the draft and will do it for them on this board instead

[Mr. WEO]

what about bong hit pics?

Yeah, I just check my phone now to get updates.  I can waste that much time watching it.

I used to love sitting around on my couch both days with a draft magazine and learn about the teams and the guys getting drafted. Now it's just trash. The useless post-draft interviews, the buzz words and talking points, the commercials, the focus on big market teams and QBs. 

 

I only watch the 1st round now and check the NFL website for later picks.

THERE will be no nfl to tweet out picks , does not meet any other media members won’t Find out who’s being taken and tweet it out

[dorquemada]

 

the only thing i still enjoy about the draft coverage is when someone picks a guy way early and the announcers try to put a positive spin on it like aaron maybin

[Marv's Neighbor]

Just live stream the whole thing, and spare us all the BS!

[ghostwriter]

Good! It will make the draft way more exciting.
