I say ESPN just because it's tradition but I feel Mayock on NFLN does a better job of breaking down draft prospects

NFLN. DJ, Mayock, Eisen >>>>>>> Berman, Kiper, McShay.

Literally ESPN's only redeeming quality is Gruden. And that's moreso for entertainment than analysis.

NFLN

After hearing Gruden say last year that T-Rex Armstead pretty much sucks, it just shows that they really dont do much homework.

NFLN is a lot easier to listen to also.

NFLN is more about the facts and less about the hype and self-imposed narrative. Like "the slide." It's the 15th pick in the draft and the guy that MEL FREAKING KIPER had at #4 hasn't been picked yet. OMG HE'S SLIDING! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? IT'S THE BIG STORY OF THE FIRST ROUND! Whatfreakingever. Because Mel and Todd make the official lists that NFL general managers are required to pick from and if you disagree you're just plain stupid.

I just hope the product itself is better than last year. Last year's first round sucked no matter which network you watched. They'd report the pick is in and then you had to wait 7 more minutes for Goodell to announce it. Last year I watched to see when the pick was in and then watch my tweetdeck to find out who was picked.

NFL Network needs to hire Gruden away from ESPN then the circle would be complete.

He also knows the pick before it happens. Watched the earlier drafts on NFLN this week and he was right on almost 95% of the them. Obviously someone is filtering him picks before the TV is announced.

The correct answer, and let's not act like it doesn't matter, is the station that broadcasts the picks first. NFLN has Mayock, ESPN has Gruden. One for one, tit for tat. You will be tuning into the station that has the 5 second edge on announcing the picks no matter what. Last year it was ESPN.



SN: Good luck to you all on avoiding Twitter nerd who tries to ruin the pick announcements in messenger chats. He should have his phone taken from him on this one night out of the year and be forced to watch reruns of Teen Mom until the draft is over.

they were talking about this on the radio this morning.. they were saying that goodell likes to make sure each draft pick gets their moment on stage... this has been one of the only changes to the draft that I like.. I hated when they switched the camera to the player that got drafted before they officially announced it and I also hate twitter spoilers during the draft
