Draft coverage was TERRIBLE

If you are watching the draft for suspense, or any entertainment value at all, then then you are a nearly paralyzed football addict in offseason withdrawals.

I tried to ween myself off the stuff cold turkey, but it was too much. Baseball is basically my Nicotine patch. It holds me over until the season and keeps me from going into sports DTs.

Ummm Last night was very entertaining and thrilling... and the Panthers did not even draft. I wouldn't call it withdrawal, because the NFL Draft has always been an exciting event to watch.... For me at-least.

Look you assholes, when you show the player on the phone it ruins the suspense of the pick. Let them announce the pick and then show their reaction. Dammit that really pissed me off last night.

Exactly. And I didn't like when they would talk to Jason La Canfora to get an idea of who was most likely going to get drafted right before the pick. This was for NFLN.

The draft is fun. But I watch it like the news; very empirically. I will pour over every detail, but I wouldn't say I was on the edge of my seat (except when the Panthers pick). The rest of the time I am just interested to see where teams are building for the future, where the guys I watched in college went, and if anyone I knew from Maryland got drafted.

I wouldn't call that entertainment, interesting, not particularly entertaining or suspenseful.

Though I should say that coming from Sports Journalism I tend to look at these kinds of events with a more discerning eye, I guess it just seems like business to me.

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
