    Which do you prefer? I personally will be watching NFL Network as I prefer McShay, Eisen and Mayock over Kiper, Gruden and Boomer..

    Another reason to avoid ESPN.

    NFL network is better because of rich eisen and michael irvin being funny, but mike mayock stinks

    ESPN is the worst though hands down

    NFLN handsdown - with a bunch of picks, be it players in the greenroom or with their families at home, ESPN has a knack for showing the elated player receiving the call. I like to hear the pick announced from the podium - not via ESPNs camera team

    outside of that, NFLN wins regardless. Mayock is good at summarizing a players skillset and how he can fit in to the team that drafted him. Kiper comes in with an agenda of "this team needs XYZ and they'd be foolish to pass on these 3-5 players" - he straddles the line between draft analyst and wannabe GM and it's infuriating - not that Mayock has better insight (both are comparable IMO), he just knows his role and won't harp on a team for forgoing a position of need if a team goes BPA. And the remaining cast of characters on NFLN trumps ESPN. No brainer, NFLN all day

    Sadly, I don't have NFLN, but that is what I'd be watching given the option.

    ESPN it will be.

    I will watch ESPN, DVR NFL Network.

    Once the Jets pick happens, I will watch it live on ESPN and once done, I will watch it on NFL Network thru DVR so I don't miss a word from both channel's commentators.

    I'm watching NFLN and hoping Mayock gets stuck in traffic.

    I usually flip back and forth on the first two nights, but mostly NFLN.

    Day 3 is NFLN all the way - Rich Eisen on two hours sleep in 3 days is hilarious.

    I'll watch both. But if push came to shove I have to watch Mel. To me he's Mr. NFL draft. It's a tradition. Last night on NFLN in their annual draft preview with guys taking turns making the picks Marshall Faulk chose the big OG Su'a-Filo for the Jets. It's not going to probably happen but he's a good player.

    Both. NFL Network on the TV and ESPN on the iPad (the Optimum mobile app is outstanding).

    Mel Kiper is to the draft what Santa is to Christmas. It's fine to believe in him when you're a kid, but once you're old enough to realize he's not real, you have to move on.

    I think I'd prefer NFL Network, but there is no NFL Network app on Apple TV, so I'll be watching it on WATCHESPN
