A lot of the times ESPN wouldn't show who was drafted. They had the teams on the left hand side of the TV screen an it would let you know that the pick is in. Then at the bottom of the screen where somebody would think the pick would show up, no, it would just tell you who was on the clock. I just stopped watchig it and waited for the draft to be over so I could check everything out online. I didn't really care to hear what the analyst said about the player that was picked ten picks ago. I just wanted to know who was just picked. It didtn't happen all the time but it happened a lot and you think a company that has invested that much money into it would have picked up on that problem. I quess it's too much to ask for to actually know who gets drafted when the actual pick is in.

Yeah - that was pretty annoying.

You're watching the clock tick down while your favorite team's on the clock, then you see "Pick is In" in the upper left hand corner, and there's no acknowledgement from Kiper and company, so you look down to the bottom of the scree, and they're showing some stupid stat that was only applicable on day 1 like "The Saints have not selected an OL in Round 1 since 2002".

Great. I'm glad I now know who the Saints have NOT drafted while you won't tell me who the Steelers DID just draft.

Who's brainchild was this idea?
