Draft Broadcast Opinions?

This was ABC's first time doing wall-to-wall Draft coverage, and there was also ESPN and NFLN (although AT&T/directTV subscribers aren't getting NFLN right now, due to $$).

What's your opinion on the Draft setup in Nashville, and any opinion on the overall coverage?

I had to turn off ABC when they started featuring Taylor Swift to fill time. I liked ESPN 'cause they weren't all fan-boy for every pick, and had some (seemingly honest) negative commentary on some selections.

I like the big graphic screens, and the color-matching lighting for each pick.

I always preferred NFLN in years past, but eff them after last night...  they went to commercial break and didnt even give analysis of our pick, not even after the commercial break.  I was recording their broadcast and ESPN's, but I'll probably record both again just to see what each says.

That pissed me off!

I didn't like it, but I understood it. Washington picked a QB right before us. Those always get talked about, especially one from a program like OSU with a huge national following.

I have DirecTV and NFLN is working fine. I watched their coverage and thought it was pretty good.

My bad:

https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/att-pulls-nfl-network-directv-sunday-ticket-1203192373/

Subscribers of DirecTV Now and AT&T’s U-verse TV no longer have access to the NFLNetwork — meaning they’ll miss the network’s coverage of the 2019 NFL draft next week.   (other interesting commentary in that article about the possible future of Sunday Ticket)

The house band has been absolutely atrociously distracting. 

I thought it was Sister Hazel or Nickelback or some other band like that. But no, was just some band named Sixwire.  Seems to have some TV cred from American Idol and CMT.

      That's the thing, he's this good and not even a finished product.  A lot of great TEs don't have elite twitch and suddenness to them.  He's a football player through and through and I feel that once he gets to eat/sleep football 24/7 in the NFL, he's going to hone his route tree while refining his breaks/cuts. My only knock on him is he's a bit stiff, which is hampers crisp route running.  Warren strikes me as a gym rat football junkie and I can see that cleaned up in short order...in the course of a season or less.  Unless your name is Brock Bowers, TEs usually don't set the League on fire their rookie season.  I could see him contributing heavily in year 1, none-the-less.

      NFL execs on the Panthers offseason

      I am not sure if it was or wasn't his decision to bring him back, but I am willing to bet that he fires him next offseason.

      Eh. Evero has been here through now 2 coaching regimes. He also pushed for guys like DJ Johnson and has apparently had significant enough input on some free agency moves too. At this point nobody knows about Canales. Even Bryce Young's progress has to be taken with a grain of salt. The rubber has to meet the road in a big way in 2025. But I think it's fair to say the plan from the front office seems to be to let Canales focus on the offense. Although some people could rightly argue he needs to be more hands on across the roster given the fact his defense was 32/32 last season. And look let's be real here. Virtually everyone here is going to agree Rhule was a conman and not a good NFL head coach by any means. But he did swindle our owner out of a generational amount of money. That cannot be understated. With Reich though while he was not the man for the job he didn't even coach here a full season. Saying he didn't develop anyone while giving our front office a pass for their egregiously subpar drafting before and after he was gone (see our 2024 2nd round pick) seems odd. The simple fact of the matter is we need to both draft significantly better and we need to develop talent better.
