Duluther Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 2 hours ago, Techbert said: I have a simple attitude about TV draft coverage. They are all bad. You don't want sensationalism? Go to another media. You don't want a producer telling the talent to get a tear rolling down a cheek? Go to another media. You DO want insightful analysis rather than a play-it-safe keep-it-in-the-fairway regurgitation of the same names over and over and over again? Go to another media. You don't want politics in your sports? Go to another media. You want genuineness? Definitely go to another media. TV has a bunch of people who love draft coverage cuz they can say any old thing and be wrong 50% of the time talking about the impact that 80% of the draftees will never make, and get paid good money for it. The only challenge they have is being able to sleep at night. TV is fine if you want the same tired clips of three or so plays looped when they talk about any player. It is fine if you want to hear words come out of the players' mouths and don't care it is orchestrated. It is fine as background noise that will jump in SOMETIMES with important trade news. Berrybert keeps thinking I want to watch the draft, no matter what I say to explain it. I will have the TV on the background as I hop from website to website, depending on which ones are not crashing. Ok. What alternative media coverage do you suggest?

THE DUKE Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Call me old fashioned, but I like watching Kiper and McShay. I'll also be watching the Locked On Bengals guys on Twitch during the draft, so that's who i'll be maily listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve even called into the Top 10 to gauge value. For a CB? Would be a steep price, but they aren’t afraid to be bold..." / Twitter Saints stealing Surtain? Seems strange to me for a CB especially with our current QB room. My guess is if Mac Jones (or one of the other top QB's) slides, we will be looking to move up for one of them. There were reports the Saints had a great meeting with Mac Jones at the Senior Bowl and were also at his Pro Day watching his workout. Just need the 49ers to pass on Mac Jones and this seems like a real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao New England is not getting Trey Lance wrapped and delivered to them. Gruden would jump him long before 15. And so would Washington and Chicago.
