In a way that draft format was refreshing

It wasnt quite like the small conference room days but not far off. To me the event has gotten too over the top.

I wish it would go back to what it was in New York. It was perfect

I enjoy the normal event, hosting in different cities---not to mention the revenue and exposure it brings to those cities. Plus, it makes the event (especially the 1st round) seem bigger and more exciting like every team is drafting their next All-Pro.

As far as the broadcast, the instant reaction and coverage of each player that came with the original format was FAR superior to whatever we just watched. The in-depth coverage and discussion was just better and far more smooth when it came to each pick than it was with the virtual format.

In the end, the change of pace wasnt bad at all for what the circumstances were, but give me the normal format all day every day that felt like more of a 'event'

Yeah, minus the desperate highlighting of players' worst moments in their life.

 

Otherwise, it was good.

God that was cringey after like the 5th time. My wife turned to me when our 1st round pick was selected and said "I bet you his mom has cancer". Nope dad died of suicide when he was 14....... 

Just focus on the football.

I agree with this, it was over the top. Have the players tell you about their biggest moments during their college career, or biggest influence in their lives.

I think they need to open the options of storylines to cover.

Agreed.  And some of it was way beyond /the line of decency.  Calling out Higgins' mom as an addict  was an example, but there were others.

Putting aside specific complaints about this year's presentation (the misery porn, Goodell having the charisma of a jar of mayo), I actually liked the general setup and execution. I would love if they tinkered with what didn't work all that great, but kept the idea.

You just insulted mayo. Apologize.

I would only change one thing. The On The Clock section with the next 3 picks in the lower left should include CURRENT PICK: at the top.

Show me the name of the person who was just drafted, please!

Its super annoying in rounds 4-7 when picks are flying fast.

NFL Is still blind. The people watching after the 1st round are draft junkies. I want to here a pick and than Mel Kiper. That's it.  This draft they did that until they brought on this country singing that sang a song for ever. They say 55 million watched. Well I'll guess 99% them went to the bathroom, got something to eat,made a drink or went out for a smoke during that song !!!
