NFL Draft

QVCkitty1 — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 16:15:08 GMT

Is anyone else excited for the Draft tonight ? I confess I’m a big football nerd that loves the whole process, with one phone call a young man’s life can totally change. Sadly, I’m afraid my team ( NY Giants ) will screw it up again, however, I’ll still be there watching. Anyone else ?? 🏈🏈

Not excited but it will be my first time watching the NFL draft. I am looking forward to watching.

I am a faithful viewer of the NBA draft which is pretty exciting.

I’m excited because I live in Arizona and since we have the first pick I want to see who the Cardinals pick. Hope it’s Kyler Murry. We need all the help we can get. Hopefully the Cards don’t blow it.

Not the football fan I once was, so I'm not much interested. Don't recall them ever hyping up a draft program so much as to pre-empt regular programming. Maybe I've just missed it in the past.

@Meowingkitty , I’m curious, how do the fans there feel about Josh Rosen ?

@QVCkitty1: I'm not a big football fan, but my husband is. We live about 30 minutes South of Nashville, so the NFL buzz is totally here.

I think I may watch the draft with my husband. Boy, he'll be shocked!!!!

No 1st round pick for my Cowboys, but there are 30 former TX high school players in the draft, so I'm interested to see what their future is. I'll be switching back and forth between the Stars hockey game and the draft.

On Friday going to the Star facility to share the draft experience with my fellow crazy Cowboy fans. Hate waiting so long for our first pick, but hopefully it's a good one.

Happy Draft Day everyone!!

I use to follow the sports drafts after living in a home out numbered by men but now I don't even watch. I just look at the news reports the next day to see who was drafted and by whom. There were occasions when I personally knew individuals eligible and then I would watch.

I don’t know how fans feel about him but I know the frustration level with him is there. I’m sure we can do better. It wouldn’t break my heart if he was traded.

I watch the draft every year. It was far more entertaining in the early days when the "experts" just knew who a team would draft only to be wrong 90% of the time.

SInce I'm not an NFL football fan, it isn't a big deal to me. I didn't know it was today until they said on the news tonight it was today. I don't pay much attention to the sports news.

Of course, my sports radio station, The Ticket (1310am)

has been broadcasting since it started & until it ends.

Host Norm Hitzges (HOF) has a lot of fun with this!

Yes we are watching but looks like the Cowboys won’t make a selection until tomorrow night unless they make a trade.

It'll take a few years to know for sure, but the early impression isn't great for the Giants. If you love Eli Manning, then Daniel Jones is said to be an Eli clone, just lacking Eli's charisma. The league seems to be moving towards more mobile quarterbacks, but maybe the kid will work out. I'm kind of surprised they didn't grab an offensive lineman with one of their other two picks. Some pretty good ones were still on the board, but they went for a defensive tackle and cornerback instead.

I' m hoping it will turn out well for the Colts. By trading down with Washington, they have 3 draft picks in the 2nd round and another 2nd rounder in 2020. Should be lots of value Friday.

So happy to see three Alabama players chosen in the first round, Quinnen Williams, Jonah Williams and Josh Jacobs.

The three first-round selections for the Crimson Tide ties Clemson and Mississippi State for the most from any team in this year's opening round and gives head coach Nick Saban the most first-round draft picks in college football history. The three selections moves Saban's career total to 34 first-round picks, surpassing the previous high of 33 by Penn State's Joe Paterno.

Roll Tide!!!
