Draft coverage
Posted April 27th, 2007 by Ron
I have DirecTv so I have enjoyed the NFL Network since its beginning. The network does a tremendous job of giving you NFL Films quality coverage between games each week. Its Super Bowl coverage is great, and I am sure that its draft coverage is good, too.
But ESPN and Mel Kiper Jr. and the rest of the gang can't be beat.
I used to stay home from school to watch the drafts on ESPN in the early 80s, just to see whom the Steelers would take.
I think I recall Louis Lipps being compared with Lynn Swann on draft day. A couple of bad hamstrings cut his career short.
Anyway, when I watch the draft I will be sticking with ESPN maybe it is just a habit but I think it probably is just better, too.
