2013 NFL Draft: Networks agree not to tweet picks

[Hammock Parties]

This is cool. Hopefully it works out and some degree of surprise returns.

1d. Markman has told all ESPN NFL staffers not to tweet out selections prior to the announcement of the Commissioner for the first round.

The edict is likely to extend into the second round as well.

"The majority of the people we have heard from say they prefer not to be told in advance," he said. "Is this a perfect scenario on Twitter? No. But I can only go by the majority of what we heard and I think we are making the right decision.

We could get beat on some stories but I'd rather get beat on a couple of draft picks on Thursday night than anger the majority of the fan base. We'll definitely do that for the first round and into the second round. After that, I don't think people tweet out picks by pick, anyway."
