The Draft Show

[stilltheguru]

No Broaddus slander will be tolerated


At least hes has scouting background.

This show was at its peak when they had Bucky, Dane, JC, Helman, and Broaddus

Broaddus is Charles Barkley without the personality which is worthless lol. Neither watch any tape forreal. You're right about when they had Brooks, Dane and Helman.

Bobby Belt is the one I pay attention to the most as he as legitimate inside sources. He was the first one to say Cooper was going to be gone last offseason.

Hes decent but he always “hasnt watched him yet”


Its annoying

 

[Stash]

meh..shes not bad but she shouldn't be getting paid to give her opinions on air about a team she has 0 knowledge of. Its 2 forced.

That and it feels like she’s mailing it in and not even trying to improve.

The thing about Broaddus is that he is like any other "scout". He is right about half the time which explains why in the typical draft class of three of seven are still on the roster three or four years later. Broaddus redeeming value IMO is his contacts at the Star and around the league. He seems fairly accurate on who the Cowboys are interested in pre draft due to those contacts.

Dane is on there about once a week.

Yep. I listen to all things Dane.

Dane for me is what Mel Kiper, Jr. is to @Risen Star Star.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Luulz, I knew simply creating this thread created space for the triggered anti-“woke” mouth breathers to vent. So be it; consider it your safe space tenderhearts.

I realize that element exists but for me, it's that she is not really any good. Mina Kimes for example, is darn good wih her draft analysis and takes. Cynthia Freulend is amazing too.

 

[KingintheNorth]

You are so incredibly un-woke. Expecting someone to actually know football, when their job is talking about football, is just archaic and unfair. If she heard you saying that, she would need a week off for mental distress.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Yep. I listen to all things Dane.

Dane for me is what Mel Kiper, Jr. is to @Risen Star Star.

Hes the best doing it right now

I subscribed to the Athletic just for the Beast

Doris Burke does a nice job doing NBA games IMO.

Me too.

"Cynthia Freulend is amazing"

OMG totally.

STOP THE PERSONAL ATTACKS AND STOP WITH THE POLITICAL AGENDAS.

Although Jeff Cavanaugh could be annoying, he was good to mix things up on the draft show.
However he decided to quit the radio show and in doing so dc.com axed him on the draft show.

Bobby Belt does well on there. Dane does well when he is on.
I am ok with Kyle but he is kind of bland in some ways.

The show went from being one of the few shows I watched from DC.Com and the only one i looked forward to each week. To one now that I have not been able to get through a whole episode so far this year.

If you want to put a lady on there I am sure you could find a local journalist or fan that has more knowledge of the game and the draft. Or an insider like Jane.

But putting some young girl on there that although might be nice, really does not bring anything to the show even for the basic casual fan imo.

The site used to be pretty good but it really has went down hill the last few years and the one good show I liked and looked forward to watching has went downhill as well.

I'm all for diversity and inclusion and don't mind her getting this opportunity, even though it feels heavily manufactured/forced.

That being said, she is not great. On the first show she gave contradictory scouting reports on Mississippi State CB Emanuel Forbes. In one take, she said he looked big like Nahshon Wright (who is 6'4") and then later she talks about how small he is (Forbes is 6'0").

She also spent a bunch of time talking about a player who isn't eligible for this draft.

This last show, she did an entire segment on a scouting report of Deonte Banks (Marlyland) before finally realizing she was talking about Devon Witherspoon (Illinois).

Kyle Youmans is not great either.

Half the time Broaddus sounds like he's just there encouraging his grandchildren.

Right.

I'm annoyed by Broaddus more than anyone. It's why I won't listen.

He literally just makes **** up.

Dane, David, and Jeff are sorely missed from this show.

I love the Cowboys and I love the NFL Draft but this show is about to be dropped from my playlist. Hopefully Derek Eagleton, a pompous fraud in his own right, is seeing some of the feedback and makes some changes.

Dane is missed but David and Jeff are questionable as well. Remember Helmen and Cavanaugh almost started crying when the Cowboys drafted Parsons. They also only talk wide receivers and thought Surtain was slow. Nobody thought Tyler was any good. Basically all the guys and girls on the draft show has there warts. Ieasha is better at talking about the games. Give her a chance, she is better then Ambar.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Right.

I'm annoyed by Broaddus more than anyone. It's why I won't listen.

He literally just makes **** up.

I get the sense he’s on cruise control. Literally anyone can give their take and he’ll undoubtedly say “I think you have the player right…”

Yeah, he'll go to google, type in 40 times and say, you know, I really like that receiver from Cincinnati...all while not knowing his game or name..lol

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Looks like soy boy couldn’t take the heat and started reporting. Classic.

 

[unionjack8]

I've stopped listening, she's God awful.

 

[Acceptablename]

She’s better than the one she replaced. I don’t mind her
