ESPN Draft Coverage is Abysmal

First let me say I do not get the NFL Network (Time Warner Cable). This coverage is embarrassing and disrespectful to the players being drafted. Not sure why they have chosen to cover it this way. Basically they run their mouths about a topic anywhere from 15-30 minutes while completely ignoring players being drafted then they show a list of everything the viewer missed....

Not to sound surprised though, I've gotten used to this sort of thing from ESPN. It seems as though they care less about sports and more about showcasing their mediocre sports analysts.

To be fair I suppose it's difficult to cover 150+ players who are for the most part relatively unknown, but this isn't interesting at all and I'm turning it off.

when the panthers' 3rd rounder came up last week they were jabbering about the cowboys draft moves, and completely skipped over the former panther being introduced as well as the pick.

and who got tired of seeing sean peyton's stupid ass talking for 10-minute increments while other teams' picks were skipped?

i was pissed for hours.

I switched from Directv to North State Plex (basically it's ATT Uverse). NFL isn't available until July but I was willing to go ahead and switch thinking that missing NFLN for a few months wouldn't matter much until then. Boy was I wrong. ESPN draft coverage has been a disaster for me. Come on July!!

PS the 30/30 internet kicks ass though.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
