Draft Broadcast Opinions?


PanthersATL

Recommended Posts

This was ABC's first time doing wall-to-wall Draft coverage, and there was also ESPN and NFLN (although AT&T/directTV subscribers aren't getting NFLN right now, due to $$).

What's your opinion on the Draft setup in Nashville, and any opinion on the overall coverage?

I had to turn off ABC when they started featuring Taylor Swift to fill time. I liked ESPN 'cause they weren't all fan-boy for every pick, and had some (seemingly honest) negative commentary on some selections.

I like the big graphic screens, and the color-matching lighting for each pick.

I always preferred NFLN in years past, but eff them after last night...  they went to commercial break and didnt even give analysis of our pick, not even after the commercial break.  I was recording their broadcast and ESPN's, but I'll probably record both again just to see what each says.

That pissed me off!

I didn't like it, but I understood it. Washington picked a QB right before us. Those always get talked about, especially one from a program like OSU with a huge national following.

I have DirecTV and NFLN is working fine. I watched their coverage and thought it was pretty good.

My bad:

https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/att-pulls-nfl-network-directv-sunday-ticket-1203192373/

Subscribers of DirecTV Now and AT&T’s U-verse TV no longer have access to the NFLNetwork — meaning they’ll miss the network’s coverage of the 2019 NFL draft next week.   (other interesting commentary in that article about the possible future of Sunday Ticket)

The house band has been absolutely atrociously distracting. 

I thought it was Sister Hazel or Nickelback or some other band like that. But no, was just some band named Sixwire.  Seems to have some TV cred from American Idol and CMT.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
