Almost exclusively the NFL network, bt I usually flip to espn every now and then out of curiosity (usually during commercial breaks.)

I think ABC is going to be a disaster. I'm thinking they will focus on the off-field, human interest bullshit that these large networks like to shove down our throats.

But NFLN is my go to unless I have to leave the house and listen to it on the radio because we have a game or practice on draft day, lol.
 
I have U-verse and AT&T just pulled the NFL Network from my service so I'm stuck with ESPN. I'll probably listen to draft on NFL Sirius XM.
 
For many years ESPN was the only game in town for NFL Draft Coverage. I remember as a kid asking my dad to get cable TV, just to have ESPN and get all kinds of NFL coverage. College Football Saturday was the norm for me once, we got cable. But ever since NFLN began, I started to find myself tuning into their network. I haven't turned to ESPN ever since. I always thought Mike Mayock was the best of all the Draft analysts on the networks. He was much more thorough in his player evaluations. But Mayock is now the Oakland Raiders GM, so it'll be interesting seeing the new Draft Coverage provided. They are all solid on NFLN, I much prefer them over the other draft shows.
 
I'm leaning ABC because of the college lineup with Herbstreit, Desmond and Corso. Mahomes will be on the set too. Plus I heard for months now what McShay and Kiper have to say, and same goes for the NFL Net. But I fear ABC will run a ton of commercials.
I'll probably end up switching between ESPN and NFL Net.

I believe ABC and ESPN will be the same telecast since they are both owned by Disney.

I came home from Thailand to visit my mother in Nashville and go to the draft. But when I got here and figured the cost to go downtown-rent a car, pay for parking, getting something to eat-it just doesn't make sense. So now I am stuck in my mom's house watching it on TV. Her cable does not have the NFL Network, which I would prefer to watch, so I am stuck watching Mel Kiper on ESPN. I can only imagine how bad the coverage on ABC is going to be. Besides, without Mayock, I don't think NFLN is going to be all that good.

The ABC coverage is going to be like a good morning america broadcast. A lot of emotional/humanist stories about the players drafted.

Not for me.

As a business you try to reach as many demographics as you can so i see why they're doing it. With that said, i watched Sportscenter this weekend (first time in a while) and they are really laying on the touchy,dramatic side of sports on thick on their shows. Sportscenter has turned into Entertainment tonight.

I don't watch NFL pregame shows anymore either because its turned into intimate and emotionally contrived interviews with players sitting in a dark room.

I don't care for that kind of stuff, i would rather hear about what kind of player the team is getting on the field.
 
I always DVR NFLN and ESPN to hear what both have to say about the prospects Miami drafts...which usually winds up being some half-assed "by the way Miami drafted so-and-so" after a commercial break.

This year with three to choose from, I may still just go NFLN and ESPN. I always hate when the show does puff pieces on players that overlap the actual picks and of the three ABC seems like the most likely candidate.

Why doesn't comedy central do an accompanying show about this where they make fun of stuff? They couldn't show the players or the teams, but there is nothing stopping them about essentially televising a funny podcast about it. I'd pick that over anything.
 
Its the NFL Network for me. Can't really stomach ESPN anymore. Although, I remember back in the day, ESPN was the only show in town and it was quite amusing watching Kiper rip the Colts and the Jets picks.
