StHustle Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 He was inexplicably replaced by Coy Wire. As we know, he first offered his spot to Pancho who couldn't make. I was expecting Stevie to come out and do something like Coy did with having Pancho on facetime and honoring him before the pick. I was looking forward to seeing Stevie and hearing him shout out Bills Mafia. Coy did great tho so no big deal just curious if anyone knows what happened. Sidebar: Eric Wood sucked with the 2nd round pick announcement. ZERO swag, said nothing to the fans. Very dry....simply announced the pick. He looks great tho...lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Wire did a great job. Although, the standard of play in their career in order to qualify to announce these picks have fallen a bit. At this rate Ryan Denney or Ko Simpson will be announcing next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I read, right before the draft started, Reed had given his slot to announce the pick to Pancho Billa. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/04/2019-nfl-draft-stevie-johnson-offers-draft-spot-to-buffalo-bills-superfan-pancho-billa.html But he was clearly not able to attend. Perhaps Andre had made other plans in the interim. Just guessing. But what a great draft. Edited April 28, 2019 by The Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also be fine if it wasn't televised. All I care about is hearing what the pick is. Actually having analysts talk about each guy is nice too. The actual games are what's fun to watch for me. It's not fun for me to see random players announce picks. Maybe I'm in the minority. The draft is fun just to see what players you get and how your team is impacted. All the added spectacle is not fun, to me. But again, the added spectacle around the games themselves is fine. I like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because Coy has gotten some pretty decent face time/exposure on TV the past couple years, as he's a news host/anchor on some morning show now (and does sports stuff for CNN I believe). I don't even remember the name, but my wife always turns on the same morning news show every day when she wakes up, and I quickly recognized him. I asked her if he was a guest commentator or something, and she said no, he's one of the main people on air. Good for him though, found some success after football.

However I will say that if there were not guest announcers, the broadcast would not show any of the pics announced on day 2 and 3. They would just talk about the Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, and Giants. I like the guest presenters becuase it forces them to actually show the picks and analyze a lot of them. Except for Taylor Rapp...when he got picked the Rosen news broke and they totally ignored his pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
