I thought this was a small but fun fact.
This is a good demonstration of how, despite being a small market, New Orleans is extremely dedicated to the Saints.
We watched the draft more than anyone.

Ad Jacksonville is more dedicated to the Jags than most every other city is to their respective teams.

Is Birmingham a big Falcons' market?

With JazzFest and the golf tournament going on at the same time.

Alabama fans love to watch their boys get drafted.
Dontchaknow.

Not sure if Bama is falcons, saints, or titans. I think falcons though.

Na, Alabama is Saints country
See here
And I think it has more to do with LSU having so many players picked than Saints fans being more interested in the draft than other teams.

I'd venture to guess that only about 1/2 of everyone watching in JAX is watching the draft for the Jags.

Assuming this was per capita?

Its not. Mostly Saints and Titans. Some Falcons thrown in but its a minority for sure

Especially up till pick #15 to see if the Saints were grabbing Jones

Alabama fans have literally nothing better to do.

Where is "America's team" represented in the list? I guess they gave up after drafting a 3rd rnd center in the 1st rnd.

You will see them the year everyone knows they will draft a qb.

No. They could care less about the NFL here. They want to see where Alabama players go. They are completely obsessed. It legitimizes their program to have Bama players drafted, so they are interested.
I understand it. I do the same thing with LSU players. But, with having no NFL team and no real NFL loyalties, that just shows you how much they love the Crimson Tide here.
