How many here remember when the NFL draft was during a weekday?

I remember skipping school and watching it in the 80's. I think it was on a Tuesday.

Lots of memories for me. I remember the Lions took Chuck Long and my local paper the next day had a title that said "Lions hope to Chuck it Long this year".

The draft has come a long way since then.

ESPN has been covering the event for 27+ years now:

No longer is the NFL Draft the sole domain of Mel Kiper's hair and Chris Berman sucking up to the NFL commissioner. The NFL Network covered the draft for the first time in 2006, and you can bet the network's presence will increase in the future. So will the ratings of this megaevent. The coverage on ESPN and ESPN2 was the highest-rated and most-viewed in ESPN's 27-year history of televising the event. ESPN said a total of 36 million people tuned in to at least part of its draft weekend. Clearly, viewers cannot get enough of draft-related programming, which is why we urge ESPN to continue its terrific SportsCenter Draft Specials.
