NFL Draft

I dont get the popularity of this event. Three pics into this and i have been talked to enough.

I usually keep up with it until after all the flashy media-rich players from the big schools are done and they finally get to some Tech picks, if any, in the 5-6th.

I love the draft. It's fun to keep up with the players selected, as one of them may be on your favorite team once their rookie contracts are up.

It was interesting to see Gurley go to the Rams. I didn't think he would be a top 10 pick. Top 5 talent, but I thought the Rams had other needs first. As a Cowboys fan, I'm pumped about picking CB Byron Jones from UConn. He's a big, physical corner and was the best athlete at the combine (world record 12' 3" long jump, 44.5" vert, 4.36 forty) and can move to safety when needed.

Same here! I love the draft, keeping up with the college guys, where they go and how they do with their NFL careers.
Heck I buy the draft mags is how bad I can be.

Some love it.

It gives the talking heads something to talk about other than the NBA and the NHL playoffs, which don't have much of an audience at this point.

The NBA CRUSHES the NHL in viewers.. I wouldn't lump those two together

What's so boring about it? How are they supposed to cover the draft? Would you rather see billiards or bowling on ESPN?

Didn't watch a second of it -

Watched the Golf Channel and re-runs of bar rescue...

Too many talking heads and WAY too many 21 year olds to 50 year old WASP males who live and die by who their favorite team drafts

I didn't like the Saints draft after the first round but this guy did FWIW (not much).

Gag me and put me asleep per the golf channel. What is bar rescue?

And what makes you think America's blacks and browns don't watch and enjoy the NFL draft? It's more of America's sport vs. baseball.

Same reason I don't go to spring games and open practices -

And I don't get all geeked up over national signing day

I'm not that interested in it - unless free food and drink is involved and I have nothing better to do

It is like watching paint dry

2. New Orleans Saints

Notable UDFA signings: DE Tavaris Barnes(Clemson), DT Kaleb Eulls (Mississippi State), OTDoniel Gambrell (Notre Dame College), OG Sean Hickey (Syracuse), DT Bobby Richardson (Indiana)
Even though the Saints picked Stanford tackle Andrus Peat in the first round, the team needs more talent throughout the line -- so picking up the underrated Gambrell and Hickey after the draft was key. Richardson, Barnes and Eulls all have a good chance of eating up one or two spots on New Orleans' front line-depth chart.
