NFL Network draft coverage may have just become must-see television.

Miles, Kelly and Sumlin have players that are expected to go early in the first round. Mocking the Draft's Matthew Fairburn has Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel first in his latest mock draft, Barkevious Mingo of LSU is projected to go at No. 7 to the Cardinals and the Irish's Manti Te'o could also go in the first. LSU has guys that could go late as well, including Michael Ford, who could be a late-round pick, according to LSU blog And the Valley Shook.
If press conferences are a good indication, then Miles should provide entertainment value to NFL Network. He’s known for making odd comments and being highly personable, and the television cameras should be comfortable for him.
There isn’t likely to be any grass on the set, so it’s still not known what sort of nourishment NFL Network will provide Miles to sustain him during the coverage.
