ESPN vs NFL Network Draft Coverage

[Dirtbag59]

Whoa, when did this thread come back?

Anyway I'm going to have NFL Network streaming this time around since I'll be home for the weekend and our Comcast package doesn't include NFL Network. Honestly though, ESPN's Todd McShay vs Mel Kiper dynamic is getting pretty annoying, they always seem to be ragging on each other in the same manner that Clayton and Salsbury use to.

Plus NFL Network is probably going to have Casserly and Mayock covering the draft this week which is great because Charlie does a good job in my opinion of providing information, weather it be on the mindset of a GM/Scout or analysis of a particular player, even though he seems to constantly butcher names. I mean hell, the other day Casserly listed the Cowboys Wide Outs as TO, Crayton, and Joey Galloway. However other then slip ups like that, he's been pretty good.

I also like Mayock better then Kiper, and how can you not like Rich Eisen?
