Draft coverage was TERRIBLE

If you are watching the draft for suspense, or any entertainment value at all, then then you are a nearly paralyzed football addict in offseason withdrawals.

I tried to ween myself off the stuff cold turkey, but it was too much. Baseball is basically my Nicotine patch. It holds me over until the season and keeps me from going into sports DTs.

Ummm Last night was very entertaining and thrilling... and the Panthers did not even draft. I wouldn't call it withdrawal, because the NFL Draft has always been an exciting event to watch.... For me at-least.

Look you assholes, when you show the player on the phone it ruins the suspense of the pick. Let them announce the pick and then show their reaction. Dammit that really pissed me off last night.

Exactly. And I didn't like when they would talk to Jason La Canfora to get an idea of who was most likely going to get drafted right before the pick. This was for NFLN.

The draft is fun. But I watch it like the news; very empirically. I will pour over every detail, but I wouldn't say I was on the edge of my seat (except when the Panthers pick). The rest of the time I am just interested to see where teams are building for the future, where the guys I watched in college went, and if anyone I knew from Maryland got drafted.

I wouldn't call that entertainment, interesting, not particularly entertaining or suspenseful.

Though I should say that coming from Sports Journalism I tend to look at these kinds of events with a more discerning eye, I guess it just seems like business to me.

      [Joe Person] Jonathon Brooks had a successful 2nd ACL surgery - Expected to miss all of 2025 Season

      By TD alt · Posted

      He doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:    "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/     Regarding your first question... "The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4004131/#:~:text=The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision,in order to avoid arthrofibrosis.

      Not sure I would be so sure they feel worse than us - their QB was better than Bryce at in the first season, they got DJ Moore, and 2 more high caliber draft picks.  We had to give up basically our entire defense this season indirectly to make that happen and we still have no true #1 WR.  Not saying I would rather have Caleb over Bryce at this point - but I would rather have their team situation and draft picks hands down.

      A lot of people think this draft is weak at QB--I think, after the first five picks of the first round, there are a ton of developmental QBs who could develop into the role--here is the psychology behind it--Bryce becomes the mentor--you can learn as much by teaching others than by being taught.   It also makes him a true leader.  But I think there are a few QB in this draft that might not be ready now, but in 2 years, could be NFL starting QBs--Howard, Rourke, Ewers, Milroe, Dart, etc.  Talk about a cheaper backup and one that could evolve into trade capital--or if Bryce can't find consistency-his replacement.  Round 3 will have some of these qbs--maybe early day 3.
