    I think NFL draft coverage has gotten a little slicker over the years.

    Steelers first pick is at 1:43:20. The only thing worse than the pick is the coverage of it. :facepalm:

    I remember back in 1986 taking off school to watch the draft. I don't remember it ever being over a weekend.

    The draft was held April 29–30, 1986 (Tues & Wed)
    The draft was held April 28–29, 1987, (Tues & Wed)
    The draft was held April 24–25, 1988, at the Marriot (Sun & Mon)

    They wanted more people to watch it.
    Man, it started at like 11am on Saturday and went till like 11pm that night. Sunday’s was the same.
    I do like that they cut the time to pick down, that helps a lot too.
