I usually watch a combination of both but tend to watch more ESPN. I am probably in the minority but I like Kiper. Especially as you get into the mid-late rounds. He probably does more draft research than anybody else.
One thing I did notice is both networks will have reporters on site in Jacksonville. That has to be a record.
I want to watch the network that doesn't show the player on the phone before the pick is made.. I like the excitement. Also going to stay off twitter during our pick!
I watch both, but tend more toward NFL Network because I greatly prefer Rich Eisen over Chris Berman.

They stopped showing the players on the phone before they are selected. Also the analysts no longer tip picks prior to Goodell announcing them. I agree that was so annoying.

Ok good. I'm sure they received a bunch of complaints in the past about it. Idk anyone who actually did enjoy that
I tend to watch NFL Network. Don't watch espn much at all unless there is a game I want to watch on it.
NFL Network for me. I like Eisen & Mayock more than ESPNs Draft crew
Neither. I'm from England so it's Sky Sports for me. I'll be staying up to watch it so I'll have the productivity of a snail on Friday morning.
NFL Network.
I almost never watch ESPN anymore.
Both, i like Mayock but cant stand Eisen
This is always an easy choice for me, NFL network.
Chris Berman is just terrible
I don't have cable/satellite. Will they be showing the draft in one of the local stations in Jax?
I used to be an NFL Network guy, but there is just too much going on at their table. I think at one point they had five guys in front of the camera and it was just too much. ESPN's take of just Berman and Kiper, with Mort and Schefter dishing dirt worked much better for me.
I'll probably switch between the two though.
I bounce back and forth between the 2. Oddly enough, they usually alternate commercial breaks...except when the Jags are on the clock. Somehow they both take that opportunity to do a little revenue generating.
Always flip back and forth but give the edge to NFL Network
Flipping between whichever one isn't on commercial break during pick #3
NFL network easily. Can't really stand ESPN'S coverage team.
I will only watch ESPN coverage of the draft when NFLN is on commercial breaks. Three seconds later I am frantically flipping back to NFLN hoping for the world's shortest commercial break. No comparison.

No cable? Is that why your always miserable?
