Nfl Network/espn Agree Not To 'tip' Draft Picks

[philw5289]

i remeber when g-reg was drafted and already had his bears hat from the pick before. i like the change

[Argus Plexus]

Yeah this will be better.

[CatMan72]

Good, I don't want to know who the pick is until it's announced.

I like the move. Announce pick, cut to greenroom to see crying player and family, walk on stage. Pretty simple and not that big of a change.

[ladypanther]

Bet that was a request from the commish.

Im glad they arent showing the guys until after the pick is announced. It used to be one of my favorite parts of the draft- the suspense. Now it seems you know whats going to happen 3 picks before it actually happens. Its become a lets see who can become the first network to tell everyone the pick. Glad they are deciding to do this.

[JPPT1974]

For once, they agree on something good!

[jtnc]

Much better.

Thank you!! This definitely came down from the NFL (probably told the stations that they weren't getting cameras in the green room if they are going to show the picks beforehand). It will definitely improve the TV product and make the first round more watchable for those that aren't as diehard as most of us.

I love this. I actually complained about it last year at the draft party I was at. It's like someone in a movie theater screaming out, "All my god, he's been dead the whole time" in the middle of "The Sixth Sense."

[Brooklyn Bully]

I like it. Now I will watch it with more interest than watch while messing around on the computer.

[bleys]

I like this idea...

[EMSMedic79]

They are really trying to build up the draft aren't they.....

[Mage]

I'm pretty sure they can still show a replay of the players on the phone and their reaction after the commissioner makes the announcement.
