I've been listening to the First Draft Podcast for the past month and the "rivalary" that seemed to be there two or three years ago, assuming there was any animosity in the first place, seems to be gone. In fact, if anything they seem to have developed a lot of chemistry since McShay first appeared on the scene.

It would be great though if the ESPN guys gave their actual draft guys a little bit more air time this year because last years ESPN draft coverage they had way to many people on set, and eventually it just kept feeling like no one had time to complete a sentence. Which is amazing considering how much down time you get during an even like the NFL Draft.

It might just start with replacing Berman, because I think part of the reason I liked NFLN's coverage last year came from the way Eisen directed the conversation. I'll still check in on the ESPN coverage and see if it's back to where it was in 2008 but for the most part I expect most of the time I'll be watching things unfold on NFLN.
