Thursday's viewership was up 6 percent from
last year and was the highest it's been since 12.5 million
watched in 2021. ESPN led the way this year with 5.6 million,
followed by ABC (4.5 million) and NFL Network (1.6 million).
When the 2020 draft was remote during the pandemic, a record
15.3 million viewers tuned in for the first round.
Only 5.1 million tuned in on Friday, down 8 percent from last
year's 5.5 million viewers.
Unlike NFL Network and ABC, which carried Day 2 of the draft in
full, ESPN opted to carry Game 3 of the Milwaukee Bucks-Indiana
Pacers first-round series on Friday, with ESPN2 broadcasting the
draft.
