I can't wait until I get to be a fan of actual football again instead of having the NFL and ESPN stuff the draft down my throat.

Last year, I put the TV on NFLN, muted so I could watch the ticker and turned on the radio to 610. Worked pretty good. (Radio) 610 coverage is actually pretty good and is Texans-centric. Can't handle too much of Mayock/Kiper/Berman....

I'll probably watch the first few picks straight from the TV and then go to the above format....

Awesome call. I can't believe I've never done this on draft day because it's what I do every game day. Nice work.

If you're turning off the audio, I'd go with ESPN. I watched the NFLN coverage for the first time last year and it was very noticeable how little game footage of the players they showed, I guess because ESPN owns so much of it.

I freely admit my bias, but I think the Texans are making a big mistake if they pass on Manziel. And another one if they take Clowney. If they don't go with Johnny, I'd much rather have Mack.

Ya, but ESPN also has little pre-recorded tapes of these young men standing in front of a camera usually playing with a football.... it's like the cameraman says, "do something silly and show America what a douche you are". Eheh.

Got to remember it's the Texans here.... anything can happen. Even if they take Clowney at #1 it may be possible they have a pre-arranged deal with someone else in the top 10....

I'd forgotten about those things. Turrible.

Kiper + Berman = mute

I have ESPN on but muted in case they do something crazy like interview someone from the Texans. I've got the NFL.com streaming online and they're fine. I'll get 610 going here in a second.
