NFL Draft

26 04 2009

Thoughts from this years NFL draft:

  • Its amazing how much crappier the draft coverage gets after the first 20 picks of the draft.  For most of the first round the anaylsts have a pretty good sense of who will get picked, but by the end of the round it there is a noticeable drop off in the number of insightful comments.  I imagine that round 2 will be even worse.
  • Im happy there was no Brady Quinn/ Aaron Rogers situation this year.  Ray Maualuga looked like he had the potential this year, but there must not have been a camera crew with him.  He dropped from being a mid first round pick to early second round and they never showed him.
  • There is a noticeable delay on videos from the draft picks homes.  ESPN will show the draftee getting a call from the team selecting them, we then see the commissioner announce the pick, but its like a 3- 5 second delay before the draftee sees there name get called.  I wonder if this is a delay ESPN builds in for safety reason in case they need to censor anything.
  • Why in the world is Keyshaw Johnson a full time analyst?  He was a number one pick, he was a pretty good reciever, he talks a lot, but am I really supposed to beleive he knows anything about these college kids.
  • Why have i been watching this for 3 hours???
  • Imagine how cool it would be if all employees were chosen like this.  With the 1st pick in the 2009 draft Altman Vilandire and Co. selects ___.  (Cut to aweome graphic in business casual clothing with stats about excel modeling)
