[quote=skinsfaninok;1070781]I watched espn because I love gruden I'll be honest . Yeah he's annoying but dude is great for tv. I agree about Ray Lewis though he's just not a great insight guy imo.[/quote]

I turned on ESPN when NFLN went to a break and seriously got annoyed within seconds. Why do they keep putting Berman out there? They need to put the guy out of his misery. He was just babbling about some nonsense. And Kiper comes off as the wanna-be smartest smug dick in the room. Ray Lewis looked like he was high. Then Kiper and Gruden started bickering at each other. What a shit show.

[quote=Chico23231;1070778]Espn coverage team of the draft was the worst ever. I couldnt watch. Kiper is the only one giving interesting incite.

Gruden and Ray Lewis are just pure sh*t up there. Berman needs to go. That was def the worst coverage Ive ever seen of the draft. garbage[/quote]

Seriously, it's pure garbage and I watched it for a few minutes, then went back to NFLN.

However, NFLN basically made their entire draft show all about Manziel. It was overboard.

Espn will never take Berman off, he literally helped build the company. Gruden is the money maker on the network right now.

I was ready to poke my eyes out when Mayock was trying to say that the Eagles and Bengals were "pressure points" for him. Made zero sense. I know they were trying to keep the drama alive but c'mon we're not that dumb.

Same as Dallas they have a good qb for 2 or 3 more years and major holes elsewhere. Would have been a Terrible pick

Re: 2014 NFL Draft: Round 1
 

Why wouldn't the networks showcase Manziel? Who should they showcase, Bortles?

I hear ya, he was the big storyline coming in. No big surprise really... everyone just likes to complain.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft: Round 1
 

Last night was over-Mazieled for sure. It was almost like ESPN was told to show him before, during and after every pick, even if that team wasn't looking at a QB. But that's what they do, they 'play the hits'. Like it or not, that's what a lot of folks tuned in for.

My issue with NFL-N is they don't show enough highlights of the player that was just selected. I'm sure it's a video rights issue and ESPN has loads of their own content so they have a clear advantage there. I enjoy their 'talent' more than I like the ESPN guys, especially Berman.

Ray Lewis brought next to nothing but Michael Irvin brought literally nothing. It was like he was a spectator for everything but receiver picks. It was clear that Mooch and Marshall did much more research and knew the players & team needs better than he did.

Irvin is just there to be a cheerleader for Dallas lol

He brings new meaning to the term homer.

You know who else is pretty worthless... Deion with his quick interviews with the draftees. No insight gained whatsoever. I think he's got 3 questions on his card, #1 what's up player, #2 how you feelin', #3 how's your momma.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft: Round 1
 

Worst Pick Round 1: Miami Dolphins

Best Pick Round 1: St Louis taking Aarron Donald

Kyle is gonna run Johnny when his offense gets figured out.

Yeah he's entertaining, I'll give him that. I do like his let's go Prime Time segments during the year.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft: Round 1
 

I don't like him but the ESPN team should be anchored by Trey Wingo from day 1. Wingo and Dilfer is a solid combo.

The best in my opinion though is Dari Nokwah on the radio

Re: 2014 NFL Draft: Round 1
 

What will happen if Houston takes Carr? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes!

Wingo, Dilfer, Kiper and Herbstreit or possibly McShay at the desk. Thats a good combo imo.

Can't see them going there.

It would be like the Skins taking Heath Shuler Jr. Doesn't matter how good the kid is, too much added pressure IMO.

I doubt they try the carr experiment again

Damn Vikings did great last night, Bridgewater and Barr? wow, job

Heath Shuler Jr., would love to have him be a Redskin.
