Perfect Pace. It was smart for them to break it up between 3 days.


The teams will get to promote their 1st rounders, and the speculation about round 2 will get huge ratings.

Win for the fans and the NFL.

The only thing I would change is I would put it on Friday night.

i'm liking it more than I though I would

i get to listen to sports radio all day breaking down the picks and speculating on round two


at this point, round two is almost as exciting as round one...

I don't work in an office, but I bet the water cooler talk is pretty strong today, too.


The NFL is the master at leaving consumers wanting more.

I'd prefer a Friday, Saturday & Sunday format.

I think Young clearly showed signs of getting worse. He used to be just stupid, but last night he kicked it up a notch.

Yeah, I think he pissed off some of his fellow analysts as well. The look on some of their faces, when he got off on that Bronco move tangent was great.

He did make one good point though. "So the guy you drafted reminds you of the guy you just shitcanned?"ROFL

I don't like it and probably never will.

OTOH, I'm still pissed about the designated hitter rule.

frankly it frees my weekend up and i'd be sitting in front of a tv on thurs/frid anyway.....maybe i'm less diehard than i used to be...

I like that it adds drama to round 2 and seems to encourage trades between teams. I'd rather they ran it Friday night Saturday, Sunday just so it could be more of an event for fans. It sucks getting up for work in the morning after staying up way too late on a Thursday night.

It was kind of fun to see Tom Jackson get really pissed off though.

so far, so good ... let's see what the rest is like.

I voted "I like it". I'm impressed at how evenly split the board is. Good poll. Would have been nice if it was public since I doubt that that would have affected the results though.

SCTrojan 04-23-2010 11:35 AM

I'm like some here - didn't think I would like it, but I do.

It does build up some drama for the second round.

One of the developments I never expected is how much this format really magnifies situations like Jimmy Clausen - expected to go in the 1st, but has to wait about 18 hours or so to finally have his name called.

Yeah, more than once.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed John Gruden and can see why he has been successful.
