Mark Vader Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 This is the biggest event in the NFL, only exceeded by the Super Bowl. Who would have thought? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 This is the purest example of why the NFL owns and crushes all other pro sport leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowgirlsFan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Amazing! Just gets better each day! I keep pinching myself. Is this really happening 75 minutes away from my house. I'll be there each day. Sitting on the grass outside since at this point,I don't have a ticket to sit inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Corso should put the head gear on for every college teams player that he predicts will be the pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started with ESPN covering strictly the first round, and that was when the Draft was held on Thursday in the afternoon. Then the Draft moves to the weekend. ESPN still would primarily cover the first round, but would give some second round picks as well. They would add the crawl at the bottom of the screen updating us on every draft pick into the next day, when the draft lasted 12 rounds. Then with the addition of ESPN 2, they decide to cover the entire draft. The draft gets shortened to 7 rounds, and NFL Network comes around and we have two stations covering it. The draft gets moved back to Thursday, except it's aired in prime time and becomes a 3 day event. Now the draft is a traveling circus, going to a different city each year. Hundreds of thousands of fans show up to be a part of it. Now for the first time the draft will be held inside a football stadium and aired on regular network television.

I really miss the Saturday 1-3, Sunday 4-7 format. Those Saturdays were the best. Get up, have breakfast, tune into the draft and hunker down for 12 hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigs Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 ESPN FOX ABC so really, Disney is airing the draft. Your move NBC Universal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney did not purchase 20th Century Fox outright. Just parts of their entertainment business. I don't believe they took Fox's sports coverage.
