Watched beginning to end. At times, had NFLN streaming on computer, ESPN on TV, NFL Radio streaming on xmradio.com, BF chat room up, Mane chat room up, and monitoring the draftday thread. :lol:

All you guys who really follow the Draft hardcore, do you also play fantasy football? I'm starting to think that some people just live and breathe every aspect of the game. I admire that, but it seems crazy to me sometimes. :lol:

I usually watch all of Day 1, keep track of Day 2.

This year, I watched Round 1 with no audio while with my sister during her labor. Didn't catch Round 2 or any of Day 2. UGH!!! But it was worth it. :D

Watched all of the first day stuff and had the second day stuff on in the background all day sunday. Read like every analysis of it and am pretty happy with how it went for us.


Also do fantasy football so I guess I am a nerdburger.

Funny you should mention that. I finally decided to get involved in fantasy football a couple of years ago but when the draft came I drafted every Bronco player I could. Didn't want anyone else.

Ended up getting spanked and decided it wasn't for me. :)

Deep as I get with stuff like that is playing Madden. I'll do the GM stuff and do about 3 seasons. I always play as the Broncos online and get whupped on by 10 years olds.

I had the TV going and only really turned up the sound when the Broncos were on the clock. I had too many assignments to watch the whole thing.

I usually watch from start to finish but between going to the Hornets-Nuggets game Saturday and going to work on Sunday I missed a a few rounds but I still watch almost all the first day and about half the second.

This should be a thread, but how about players from out west? Utah kicked ass on everyone they played, including the Crimson Tide! Draft picks from Eastern Michigasn, but not from Boise State?

I usually don't pay attention to the NFL until August - February (does that make me a bad fan), but with my current status, I'm paying attention more this offseason and decided to sit through a draft. Let me say, "Thank God they don't go 12 rounds anymore:lol:". My rearend would have sores and my wife would have kicked me out of the house telling me to get a hotel room until it's over. Will I do it again, probably not, but it was interesting though I like seeing highlights of Jets fans on ESPN. They're like the classic overreaction that I've seen for years.

I fell asleep on the couch during the 7th round, but I watched the rest. I woke up and somehow knew we picked up that center. I may try that next year.....sleep through rounds 5-7 and see if I still know who we picked up. :D

Usually I follow all the action online.
Last year I caught some on tv too as Sky channel decided to show part of the first day.
This year I was away and had no computer access.
Thankfully, Sparkie kept me posted with regular text messages via my phone. :beer:
Been catchin up with threads, videos etc since. Not a bad way to enjoy the draft actually, when peeps have had a bit of a chance to settle down and get over initial shocks etc ;)

I wish the draft would have the first three rounds on the first day again. I was at a draft party so I watched the first two rounds with interest. I watched the third and fourth rounds on a hit-and-miss basis while I went to a baseball game. I caught none of the last three rounds because I was driving home.

In the past, I spent more time watching the draft but this time I was really lukewarm about a lot of the talent in the draft so my interest wasn't as high as usual.

I'm still mentally adapting to the idea that there's a new sheriff in town after 14 years of the same guy.
