Over the next few days, I’m going to look into how the media covers this year’s NFL Draft. What I plan to do is look online for how often mock drafts are being updated, while on television is just how often it is mentioned in basic sports programming.
One thing I have been noticing, now that the draft is merely 11 days away, is that mock drafts on the internet are frequently being updated now. It’s interesting to see how drastically some of the changes being made to team-by-team analysis.
I noticed only one that was updated today, but the Web site, WalterFootball, has several links that connect to all kinds of different mock drafts that are made by a variety of writers. Others have indeed been updated as recently as yesterday (Thefootballexpert). I am expecting that updates will only go up in frequency, in the next 11 days leading up to the draft.
It’s also quite apparent that the draft is creeping up with how much it is being talked about on television. ESPN has started its “On the Clock” segment for Sportscenter, where they devote a half hour to just talking about the draft. The NFL Network has also started its own NFL Draft show called “Path to the Draft, which is now on at 6:30pm Monday-Friday.
