CowboysZone LOYAL Fan
NFLN and it isn't even close. To take that another step, I watch with the TV muted and listen to Norm on The Ticket. I started doing that a long time ago and am sooooooo glad I do. There is a night and day difference in the draft coverage. It's nice to get all the new Cowboy player interviews, coach interviews and general info and insight regarding the Cowboys throughout the draft. Especially in the first 3-4 rounds Norm and the gang are really good at letting you know which players drafted the Cowboys interviewed or visited or were really interested in. I recommend everyone follow the draft this way and I know there a number of others that do also.

THIS.

Norm is amazing. He talks a hundred miles an hour, but he doesn't just babble. He is full of information, and he genuinely loves doing it, and it comes through the broadcast. It's infectious, and a big reason I became such a fan of the draft.

This is exactly what I do every year. You really can't beat Norm. Last year he knew some of the picks before they were announced on TV.

I usually watch espn, espn has become unwatchable lately, so this will be the first year I go with the nfl network.

NFL Network. Can't stand McShay or Kiper. Mayock isn't perfect but at least his analysis comes from an experience angle.

Oh yeah, and I can't stand Chris Berman. His schtick sucks and it should have been shelved a decade ago.

Same here. Its no contest for me. Mayock all the way. Kiper and Berman combo makes my stomach churn.

Whoever will not show draftees on the phone before the pick is in. Two years ago both networks did this and it killed the draft. One network said they won't do it anymore but I forgot who. I will take the advice of big dog and keep the ticket on as well

This is the way to go. The talking heads on ESPN are way too annoying and have all have shtick.

NFLN is not that bad as they are more straight forward.

But Norm beats them all. Easily. No goofy gimmicks or people yelling at you.
