About 'espn sports hockey'|...the news over here, and not just ESPN, one of the straight news ...play. Cricket is the only sport you can find on TV here, now...over. Sometimes there’s field hockey, but that sport is so...








The               National               Football               League               draft               marks               the               beginning               of               the               draft               season               and               rightly               so.

It               is               one               of               the               two               best               professional               sports               drafts               of               the               four               major               professional               American               sports.

Like               the               NBA,               NFL               draftees               are               well               known               from               their               collegiate               careers               and               often               make               an               immediate               impact               at               the               professional               level               for               the               teams               that               draft               them.

Similarly,               both               sports               drafts               are               large               events               televised               by               ESPN.

However,               the               methodology               of               the               top               two               professional               sports               drafts               differs.

While               the               NFL's               Atlanta               Falcons,               Oakland               Raiders               and               Kansas               City               Chiefs               performed               a               coin               toss               to               determine               the               order               of               the               2008               NFL               Draft's               third,               fourth               and               fifth               choices,               the               NBA               consistently               undergoes               a               lottery               system               each               year               there               is               an               NBA               draft.

In               the               National               Football               League,               tiebreakers               usually               differentiate               a               lot               of               teams               in               the               draft               order,               but               the               National               Basketball               Association               always               gambles               to               determine               the               number               one               pick               in               the               NBA               draft.
               Granted,               the               NBA               draft               lottery               is               weighted               in               accordance               with               teams'               records,               but               such               weighting               was               not               always               the               case.

When               the               lottery               was               established               in               1985,               the               seven               worst               teams               in               the               league               were               all               given               an               equal               opportunity               to               win               the               first               pick               in               the               draft.

However,               when               the               worst               team               in               the               league,               the               Golden               State               Warriors,               was               awarded               the               seventh               pick,               changes               to               the               draft               lottery               ensued.

Weighting               of               lottery               pick               selections               were               not               instituted               until               1990               and               in               1994               were               tweaked               to               the               specifications               in               place               for               the               2008               NBA               draft.
               As               of               1994,               the               worst               team               in               the               league               has               a               25%               chance               of               winning               the               first               overall               pick               in               the               NBA               draft               lottery.

Subsequently               worse               teams               have               decreasing               percentage               chances               of               garnering               the               first               overall               pick               in               the               NBA               draft               including               19.9%               (2nd),               15.6%               (3rd),               11.9%               (4th),               8.8%               (5th)               and               so               on,               down               to               a               0.5%               chance               of               garnering               the               first               selection               for               the               14th               worst               team,               according               to               record.
               For               as               much               flak               as               the               NBA               may               receive               for               a               lottery               to               determine               the               order               of               picks,               there               has,               historically,               also               been               concern               regarding               the               amount               of               weighting.

Some               people               think               the               exaggerated               weighting               encourages               poor               teams               to               throw               games               toward               the               end               of               the               season               -               in               order               to               improve               their               chances               of               acquiring               a               higher               draft               pick.
               However,               the               NHL               utilizes               a               similar               weighting               methodology               for               the               National               Hockey               League               draft               lottery.

Like               the               NBA,               the               NHL's               worst               team               has               a               25%               chance               of               acquiring               the               number               one               overall               draft               selection               of               the               NHL               draft.

In               contrast               to               the               NFL               and               NBA,               which               have               a               relatively               narrow               funnel               of               sources               for               their               players,               the               NHL               drafts               players               from               the               Ontario               Hockey               League,               Western               Hockey               League,               Quebec               Major               Junior               Hockey               League,               United               States               High               Schools               and               Colleges,               as               well               as               internationally.
               While               Major               League               Baseball               has               a               narrow               funnel               of               sources               for               the               prospects               for               its'               draft               -               high               school,               college               and               amateur               baseball               teams               -               MLB               draft               picks               do               not               typically               progress               straight               to               the               major               leagues,               unlike               football,               basketball               and               hockey.

In               addition               to               most               MLB               draft               picks               entering               the               minor               leagues               before               advancing               to               the               major               leagues,               many               draft               picks               never               step               onto               a               Major               League               Baseball               field,               as               a               player.
               The               process               MLB               draft               picks               must               endure               to               make               it               to               the               professional               level               undoubtedly               hurts               the               importance,               validity               and               popularity               of               the               Major               League               Baseball               draft.

Of               course,               another               hindrance               to               the               importance               of               the               MLB               draft               is               the               fact               that               it               is               held               during               the               baseball               season               -               in               early               June.

Professional               football,               hockey               and               basketball               hold               drafts               in               preparation               for               upcoming               seasons               (or               at               least               after               the               prior               season)               giving               fans               a               taste               of               the               season               to               come               -               filling               them               with               anticipation               that               is               not               possible               in               a               baseball               draft               that               occurs               during               the               regular               baseball               season.
               Furthermore,               the               MLB               draft               was               not               aired               on               television               until               2007,               at               which               time               only               the               first               round               was               shown               on               ESPN2,               although               the               rest               was               viewable               via               the               internet.

The               NFL               and               NBA               drafts               are               the               most               reminiscent               of               monumental               events.

In               addition               to               being               chock               full               of               players               that               will               make               an               immediate               impact               for               their               professional               sports               teams,               NFL               and               NBA               draftees               are               more               widely               recognized               due               to               the               dearth               of               players               plucked               from               college               football               and               basketball,               which               are               both               nationally               aired               on               television.
               College               football               bowl               games               and               the               NCAA               March               Madness               undoubtedly               boost               the               popularity               of               the               NFL               and               NBA               drafts.

Meanwhile,               the               NHL               and               MLB               do               not               have               the               luxury               of               such               prominent               counterparts.

Until               that               time,               they               will               not               rank               as               highly               in               importance               as               football               and               basketball.

Hockey,               fortunately,               allows               for               draft               players               to               make               impacts               at               the               professional               level               in               a               timely               manner,               allowing               the               hockey               draft               added               credibility               over               the               baseball               draft,               but               it               still               remains               a               distant               draft               to               the               likes               of               the               top               two               contenders.
               Then               there's               baseball,               which               should               consistently               bring               up               the               rear               as               it               is               not               helped               by               the               timing               of               the               draft               or               length               of               time               it               takes               for               draftees               to               make               an               impact               on               the               professional               level.

For               such               reasons,               the               baseball               draft               has               rendered               itself               almost               irrelevant.

MLB               has               much               to               learn               from               its'               other               major               sports               counterparts.
               The               professional               sports               draft               season               for               the               big               four               sports               looks               like               this:
               *National               Football               League               (NFL)               -               Record               Based               Without               Lottery               -               End               of               April
               *Major               League               Baseball               (MLB)               -               Record               Based               Without               Lottery               -               Early               June
               *National               Hockey               League               (NHL)               -               Weighted               Lottery               for               Poor               Teams               -               Late               June
               *National               Basketball               Association               (NBA)               -               Weighted               Lottery               for               Poor               Teams               -               End               of               June
               And               the               Major               American               Sports               Draft               Rankings:
               1               -               NFL;               2               -               NBA;               3               -               NHL;               4               -               MLB
