    I usually watch the full first day, and then on-and-off the second day.

    since they reformed the process, i'll still watch the entire 1st day. But now i may stick around to watch the 5-7 rounds since they are only 5 minutes each. Past two years i didn't get to see the whole thing because i was on vacation in 06 (only saw the DBrick selection, and then picks in round 6 and 7) and was dragged to Six Flags after the Revis selection ( i was really drunk too :)). I'd like to see the whole thing for a change.

    This year will be more exciting due to the fact that no one has a clue who is going where. Frustrating and fun.

    Last year I watched every single second of the draft because it was at the end of exam week, 95% of the building was empty. This year, i'll watch some of day 1.

    I pretty much watch the whole first day and try to catch a bit of the last round as they make it to Mr. Irrelevant and then go check out the forums seeing what the fans think about what their teams did.

    All the way up to round 5 I'd say then the rest is in the background to take a glimpse every now and then.

    I usually have all of day 1 on in the background while I'm doing work (this is the 3rd year in a row it's coincided with a busy weekend for me) and just pay attention around the Jets' picks. I'll definitely appreciate the shorter time slots this year. My Girlfriend's also visiting me at school so I doubt I'll be able to break away for much more than the Jets' picks anyway.

    It's wierd, I kind of obsess about the draft beforehand and then it just comes and goes without much fanfare other than reviewing the new guys in green and white.

    I usually watch the whole thing with a bunch of buddies I like finding out about the late round guys us and other teams get looking for the future superstars

    Il watch every second of the top 10, then just tune in every once in a while to see how things are going. I will start to watch again once they approach the other Jet picks.

    I lose interest after the Jets make a pick, the NFL limited the absurd 15 minutes between picks thankfully. I am going this year. I look out for a few players who I hope the Jets draft and then I sort of fade in and out. The second round last year was pretty boring even though I could have gotten some cool autographs

    As long as I can. This weekend is a big social weekend at Villanova, so I'll be messed up and seeing Brand New on Saturday, but I love watching every second I can of the draft.

    I watch it all, and generally watch the first 2 rounds twice once with the NFL Network guys and 1 time with ESPN. I generally play computer games as well on the second day.
