Draft watch party

Keith, unless the Texans trade up, you probably won't miss their pick. Expect the first round to take 6-7 hours and we are in the middle so our pick probably won't come up until about three hours into the show. That should give you time coach your son's game, go home, and still have a chance to go somewhere and watch the Texans make their pick or trade down.

Actually, since the NFL cut the time to select in the first round from 15 minutes down to 10 minutes, last year's first round only too like three and a half hours.

Plus, doesn't the draft start at 2 this year? I think they were talking about that on the radio earlier this week. Figure 8 or 9 minutes a pick, which should put the Texans at about 3:30 or so. Not enough time for you Keith?

Rocky Ridge, Off Westheimer maybe a mile or two inside the belt. I suck at directions, but that is the general area. If you were coming from the belt Rockey Ridge would be on the right hand side.

1560 is doing their draft show from there.

What channel is the better of the two for draft watch between NFLN and ESPN?

I splurged before football season with the 200 channel package (I dont watch much TV and cheap when it comes to my cable/dish) on my dish so I actually have NFLN for the draft now.

NFLn is better IMO. Kiper can get real old.

Just off Gessner, got it. I live a few blocks away, so I might be inclined to hang out.

That could work, but it'll be close. I'll be done with baseball and related matters sometime after 1:30-ish. I'm also probably an hour or so away, with my mom visiting that weekend, another obligation for my son that afternoon that hopefully can be taken care of, an annual carnival at the church... ugh, even still, I'm hopeful I can make it work. It's the freaking Draft!
