boyst Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Am I the only one tired of how they keep propping up former players, kids, fans and miscellaneous people to announce the picks? the goofiness of it is too much. it is fun to have some different things done but it is too much - i want draft coverage. talk about the players, talk about the picks, let us get football information instead of wasting 30 seconds of every minutes having someone zip line in to do a barrel roll and back handspring handing the card to a former player who than announces who he is then tells us that random fan who won some contest presented by bed bath and body works is going to announce the draft only to have that fan barely be able to read the card! this isn't a get off my lawn thing but i want to see and hear abotu football!

flmike Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Fortunately I have so much to do right now that I just follow it online. The first and second rounds are quite interesting because there might be a day 1 player, but the other rounds are depth players and practice squad folks.

ndirish1978 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Next year's draft will be a pay per view with musical guests that work player's names into their song.

Admittedly, I don't devote a lot of time to the draft anymore, since the NFL insists on making it not only an "event" but a three-day bataan death march "event." I'll full "get off my lawn" for you boyst, I liked it better as a two-day thing, with a lot less wiz-bangs and whoop-dee-doos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Billieve Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Maybe they just don't want to have to talk about all these players they don't really know that much about, and I could see myself getting tired of watching Goodell get booed, but yeah it is pretty bad.
