What would be unpredictable is if they didn’t. If we announce the pick early, who do you think will get the commercial break before our second pick at 25?

Every pick has 10 minute allotment. Figure at the longest, the networks will probably want to air a commercial break every 15 minutes or so if not more frequently.

But if we are going based purely on disrespect, here's a few sensible nose-thumbings, assuming no new trades:

7 (Det) - Not going to be the flashy pick, historically bad team. Carolina picks after them, so all the intrigue will be on whether or not they take any QB still on the board.
9 (Den) - Screw John Elway. Oh yeah, also because DAL and NYG immediately follow, need to be sure those big markets are kept happy, even if their teams are steaming piles of elephant dung.
13/14 (LAC/MIN) - We might get about 17 consecutive minutes of commercials here.
20-22 (CHI/IND/TEN) - The less the network folks have to talk about the AFCS, the happier they will be; probably no flashy picks here, and this is right before NYJ and PIT are up, so again, appeal to the TV market and nationwide fanbase.

25 (JAX) - no commercial break, but at least 6 minutes of our time spent analyzing the steelers pick I'm sure.
