I'm enjoying it. Certainly rotate it each year.

Too much extra activities going on outside the draft in Philly!

Stick to drafting

I agree. Don't like how they don't give all these great former and hall of fame players much applause when introduced. Like the whole place is filled with a bunch of twenty year olds who have no clue about the past greats and could care less.

Really???? After so many years of Jets fans?

What I don't like - is you can't hear the selections being announced, but I think that is fixable.

Philly the city and fans were awesome.
The WWE theatrics of the 2nd day was where they lost me.
Really an orangutan picking for the colts
I agree 100% with joe thomas. Blame the NFL not Philly

Send it back to New York. I like the tradition.

Roger kills me.

I thought Chicago was tradition.

Should we call you Tevia?

How do you expect DC to get that reference - George? He is figuratively - Up on the Roof - all the time.

New York is where the draft was born. It's where I grew up watching the draft from in my great grandma's living room. Bring it back!

I'm still not sure I like this Thurs, Fri, Sat thing.

Sometimes I feel like I do and other times I don't.

I think I'd rather Friday-Sat...

Round 1-2 on Friday. Rounds 3-7 on Sat or something like that.

All Philly fans have little concept on tradition or heritage.
As a Flyers fan it is a constant augment every year with hundreds of idiots thinking the coaches should be fired, or the star players being traded. They have no clue or concept of how to build a champion, they want results now, can't wait and watch the excitement unfold year in and year out, has to be now. And it showed during the draft, how do you not get excited seeing some of the greats in the NFL on the stage?? They don't care, those guys did nothing for them......

There are some Philly fans who are an exception to this, not many but some.

Yeah Psych. Maybe I'm just to old but at other draft sites I've seen a lot more respect for the players that helped make this game so great. Maybe it's just us old guys that give a shitabout history and keeping those that instrumental in this games memories alive.. Look at NBA now. I used to love watching just about every team play because of the competition, the D , pride,etc. Now it's just ego, thugs, no D, uncontested just about every shot, whining and drama queens. It's a joke. If their was any sport out of top 4 where fans should start boycotting games, it will be NBA. Off subject a tad I guess but I miss the pride,dedication, and appreciation these players, teams and the fans " universally " shared . Some say guys like me should get with the times,etc. No thanks. I'll stay old school. :)

Philly was okay. I liked Chicago better. I'd be fine with it being in NYC all the time but the NFL has figured out another way to make a lot of money, so I don't see that happening. If it's going to move around.....bring it to the Mile High City! That would be pretty awesome.

Here's one you can relate to @randymon
The great Brian Dawkins......
The Eagles signed Dawkins to a one day deal on April 28th 2012, so he could retire a Philadelphia Eagle. Now you and I would think, "That's a class act by the player and the organisation" But would you believe there are Philly fans who openly dissed this. Bitched that if he wanted to retire an Eagle, he should of never left. :L Sad, but very true. What these fans do not realize that if it wasn't for these old timers paving the way, the NFL, or any sport for that matter, would not be shit today. But you just can't explain that to these younger generation fans.

What they need to do is just bring it to Denver and leave it so then I could go attend every year.

I think Dallas would be a great place to hold it soon. They would throw a great party.

Everyone always asks me why I don't go to the draft. I've never really had an interest going live. My perfect chance was when it was in Chicago. Just too many dumb fans to be around yelling stupid stuff about things they don't know. I want my snacks, my freedom and my ears to hear everything that is going on. So far Geo is the only outsiders I've let into my draft world on draft day! (and he hasn't returned since the last one)

If you have 30K lying around, you can donate it to the Broncos foundation and sit in silently on a Broncos draft.
