2. The interviews are terrible ... huge waste of time

"Since January you've won the Heisman Trophy, a national championship, and have been drafted number one. What have been your thoughts the past five months?"

"What is like for you to have your son drafted?"

"Can you tell us what your emotions are right now?"

Seriously?

Is there an effort to shift focus away from analysis to inexpensive time-filler? The old ESPN shows hosted by Chris Berman were more insightful. If someone traded down or traded up there'd be a minute of strategy discussion on that alone.

I don't feel rushed. I feel like I'm watching draft coverage that has been dumbed-down.

Maybe Round 2 will be different.
