I'll be listening to a BeeGees cover band in Delray Beach while actively scrolling my phone for updates from about the #10 pick on to when Minnesota picks (much to the wife's chagrin).

Interesting ESPN is doing a separate coverage on ESPN and ABC. I usually switch around, but favor ESPN, because of the tradition of it, I like Riddick and Charles Davis best. The ABC coverage is really interesting, because it is going to have the most knowledgeable coverage in regards to familiarity with the players. I will record them all, so I can play back the Vikes picks on each.

Key Coverage Details:

  • Main ESPN Set: Mike Greenberg hosts with Mel Kiper Jr., Booger McFarland, and Louis Riddick.

  • ABC Coverage: Rece Davis hosts with analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Nick Saban.

  • NFL Network (via ESPN): Rich Eisen hosts with Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis, Joel Klatt, and Ian Rapoport.

  • Insiders/Reporters: Adam Schefter (ESPN) and Ian Rapoport (NFL Network) provide breaking news.

  • Special Coverage: The Pat McAfee Show Draft Spectacular returns for the first round.

There would be no draft coverage like it is today if it were not for Kiper and Berman, they made the draft an event.
