Conn Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I honestly don't like this change. It is pretty neat to see how excited they get when they receive that phone call. Does it really matter that we sometimes know the pick 20 seconds before it is announced? They'll have a recording of that to show right after the pick is officially announced... ---------- Post added April-19th-2012 at 01:56 PM ---------- Did the NFL forget about twitter you can't hide anything these days Viewers can easily limit their exposure to Twitter if they want, while watching the draft. It's not hard to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter that we sometimes know the pick 20 seconds before it is announced? Agreed, I like seeing their reactions over the phone. You can tell if they really are excited to be going where they're going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I always thought that it was stupid for them to do that to begin with. I know they were trying to show the emotion of the player after being selected but I like the suspense and I am sure other will too as well.

fullnelson9999 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Agreed, I like seeing their reactions over the phone. You can tell if they really are excited to be going where they're going. Then they can do it after the pick, instead of ruining it for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I wanted to see RG3 on the phone with Shanahan, pick three on, yeah keep it a secret but since everyone knows the first two picks, maybe they will show it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hopefully with this new-found dedication to the element of surprise, ESPN will tell Chris Berman to stop telegraphing the pick 30 seconds before Gooddell walks out. The guys on the phone are one thing (at least they're emotional and that's interesting to watch). Chris Berman on constant spoiler mode is something else altogether.

DJD2 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think it's a good move. Ought to bring a little more suspense back to the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullnelson9999 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Can the crowd inside Radio City watching the draft hear NFL Network or ESPN coverage? Because that would certainly add to the excitement inside too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailGreen28 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Who cares about suspense in the draft? The reason Goddell is supposed to go up there is to announce when things are official. I think it's cooler to see the players and friends and family real-time, than any fake drama with Goddell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADF Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Personally, I think this is silly. If this is the plan, then I don't want to hear the Schefters or Mortensens of the world trying to break the news either. If they are still going to allow that then what's the point.

texasthunder Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The draft show is a huge show in terms of ratings for espn and NFL network. The show should be geared towards the viewing audience. To me showing the players reactions after God..... makes his anouncement is the right way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommDownMan Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'd peek over every now and then and see if Goodell was making his move to the podium. I'm not even joking right now. That's why I'm so happy that they've decided to do this. Haha, I figured as much, but couldn't let the opportnity pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
