I've tried to verify online that the NFL Network is showing Thursday night's part of the draft exclusively (meaning no ESPN, etc.) and have been unable to. Can anyone produce a link where it says NFLN *alone* has rights to that night's broadcast?

I've check the draft pages and tv listings for ESPN and NFLN but I can't find anywhere that NFLN will have exclusive rights or that ESPN is showing alternative programing that night.

I'm not sure why ESPN would agree to televise rounds 2-7 but not the first.
