Which network has better overall NFL Draft Coverage?

Love NFLN. They could do with some better analysts but I love Mayock. I think LaConfora is pretty good too when they have him on. Not convinced yet about Lombardi. I also like Baldinger and Brian Billick.

ESPN isn't immune to this either but I hate how many ex-athletes they have as analysts. Being a former athlete doesn't make you a good or even decent analyst.

I believe that Howard Cosell called it the "jockocracy" and hated it.

Another reason I like NFLN is that they bring Charlie Casserly in around draft time. I find his perspective to be very insightful.

You don't get the channel do you? Because if you did you'd be hooked...

I never hear anything Baldinger ever says because I can't get past his disgusting pinky

Do you ever seriously give your own opinion when you start your polls before you get a page or 2 of responses because I have never EVER seen you do so.

Maybe he has no opinions and relies on the webzone to form his opinions for him...

I honestly swear up and down he does. He has been a member for f**king ever and has always flooded the boards with polls where he gives no personal opinion then pops back in a day or 2 later sharing the same sentiment as the majority.

GTSCH a long time vet who is now banned blasted this guy like you have never seen, and another cat (can't remember the other cats name but it started with T also) and got heavily warned back in the day because he grew so tired of these opinion-less posts. Dude was also a heavy V-Tech homer and led the draft Jimmy Williams bandwagon around here for a hot minute.

Who cares?

ESPN has far better production, NFLN just looks 3rd rate and they have shuffled people on and off so much there's really no continuity in their coverage. I like Mayock and hope they have Corey Chavous on like they did for SR Bowl, he knows his stuff.
I generally try and watch both, ESPN has a tendency to focus on a few stories over and over (Brady Quinn comes to mind) and not do enough analysis of each pick. I think having Schefter now gives them the edge though.
NFLN just needs to add more guys who know their stuff and less talking heads like fat mouth Dukes and Deon. Adding some ex GM/ scout types and having the same guys every year would make it far better. But I'm not the majority and most probably like the more blow hard types.
