That is embarrassing. And to top it off…. the best ISU QB ever (at least according to some on here)….. won’t even be drafted at all most likely.

Someone start a whine thread and leave this one alone.
You think Henry didn’t change the way teams played against Tennessee. Great players make you account for them and still produce. That helps the team. It’s not as simple as looking at positional statistics.
Who out of the B12 was projected to go that early besides possibly Hall?
Only reason I watched last night was for Breece. Normally I just check what happened the next day. Should be about half the time to get through the first round.
It feels like there needs to be a 30 minute to 1 hour highlight show to go through the picks quickly and break down what happened. 10 minutes between picks is way too long to fill. Basically like the NCAA selection show.
Quite frankly, I don't think most fans care one bit about all the backstory filler material that ESPN puts in there. Just stick to what the teams need and what their pick is going to do for them. Shouldn't take all night. If the teams need that time, then maybe it wasn't a made for TV event that they've turned it into.
He also missed half the season and they still got the #1 seed.
I guess I'm in the minority here but I absolutely love to watch the draft. Seeing the highlights and the stories I think is a great filler for time while waiting for the NCAA/NFL seasons. I like both college and pro football so it's great to see the 2 come together
I'd like it more if they removed the desk people and just live streamed the war room before each pick.

Of course they do. But my point is that even with the difference between an elite running back and a replacement, it's not often sizable enough for many teams to be comfortable spending a first round pick on one.
And the evidence bears that out. These teams are watching the film and crunching the numbers and not drafting running backs early. And they're not paying running backs as much as they used to. And dragging their feet when resigning them. That's not a coincidence. The teams aren't missing something. Not ALL of them are stupid. The value isn't there anymore.

A lot of people watch, though. Clearly there's an audience for it. The ratings are very good, considering it's a sporting event without a game/match/competition.
I understand that it's not for everyone, but the draft is one of my favorite events of the year
I think watching/having it on is fine.
I just can't buy it as must see TV or understand dressing like a cartoon character for it.
Like actually going to it...people pay that much to go watch people walk on a stage and hug Roger?
Oh God that will be tough for me if I have to cheer for a Tom Brady team
It always amazes me that we have had the success (although limited) we have had considering the lack of next level talent.
