They did a whole half an hour on Mike Hass.

If ESPN was the only reliable source of draft info I wouldnt be able to name 40 players in it, and the only time 20 of which were mentioned was in Kiper's mock draft.

They've done profiles on possible non first round prospects rarely, but sometimes they do. Gabe Watson and Mike Hass have both had some time devoted to them. I'm looking forward to tonight's program, I hope it's more than an in depth look at Kiper's first round mock draft.

    The 2nd edition was much better. They still didn't really leave the 1st round, but at least it wasn't all about the top 10.
