How the media covers the 2008 NFL Draft (Day 3)

Today, I decided to focus more on how the local media here, in Michigan, is covering the Lions’ draft day aspirations. I was kind of surprised to see just how the Free Press is not really talking about the Lions’ plans for draft day. You would think the Free Press would follow other media outlets and pretty much update draft day stories daily.

I was more pleased with how The Detroit News handled its coverage of the NFL Draft. I understand that there are more pressing things to write about with the Pistons playoff run taking off, and the woes of the Tigers, but this country (and even if fans won’t openly admit it, this state) are football fans first, and these are the last few days leading up to the draft.
