The 2013 NFL Draft will be shown live on ESPN and NFL Network, as both network will air all three days of draft coverage from New York's Radio City Music Hall. The Draft starts Thursday with the first round selections only starting at 8 p.m. Friday's coverage starts in the evening with the second and third round picks and concludes Saturday with the remaining selections up the seventh round.
ESPN's Chris Berman will anchor the first day and will be joined by Monday Night Football's Jon Gruden and draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. Suzy Kolber will be interviewing the newly minted first round pick rookies. Trey Wingo will host the following two days along with Kiper, Trent Dilfer, Todd McShay and former Indianapolis Colts GM Bill Polian. Chris Mortensen and Adam Scheter will be reporting throughout the weekend. They will also deploy six reporters to six separate team war rooms.
NFL Network will have more bloated coverage throughout the weekend. NFL Gameday host Rich Eisen and Thursday Night Football's Mike Mayock will be the main host from Friday to Saturday with a host of analysts. Marshall Faulk, Steve Mariucci and Michael Irvin will join the main set on Thursday, while Deion Sanders will be on the main stage interviewing the drafted rookie class (maybe even Leon Sandlecastle). Melissa Stark will be joined by Kevin Fraizer and Angela Simmons on the Red Carpet for the first day, before moving to the stage on Friday. NFLN will double ESPN with 12 reporters reporting on and from 14 different team locations.
