Watched this Trey Wingo-hosted simulation show, and don't know if anyone else has seen it or has the same opinion, but this was pretty lame. For the uninitiated, they've basically put on a stage 5 of their NFL talkers--3 former execs, McShay and then our own Darren Woodson--role playing as-if they're each one of the 5 decision-makers for just a few teams (Browns, Niners, Jets, Saints) that the producers predetermined are especially interesting.
It ended up being too contrived to be insightful, and instead is just another show to chatter about who each of their selected teams ought to be considering.
More interesting... though, yes, somewhat more costly, but then again, I assert more appealing to advertisers a bigger revenue generator... would be to have a show that actually brings together, say, 3 name personalities associated with each team, and conduct a condensed mock draft.
Picture a hotel conference room with 30 round tables. The personalities can be anyone formerly associated with the team as a player, coach or exec (or currently for that matter, if the opportunity presented itself). Every team gets 3 minutes, there's an emcee (but no external commentary) and just cameras and mics listening in on each of the round table discussions.
Boom.
You've got a 2 hour show that people will tune-in to watch because they know these people, and because they trust them to sincerely and singularly focus on what choice (or trade for that matter) would be most attractive to their own team.
