Team Profiles Part 3 of 4
Here’s an interesting “behind-the-scenes” look at some of the prep work that goes into The Ticket’s broadcast on the NFL Draft. Every year, I or an intern prepares 4×6 cards on each team for quick reference. These cards include team needs, past records, stats, free agent moves and various other notes that can enhance the listener’s experience or provide insight into a particular selection. I thought it might be interesting to give the P1’s a glimpse at the info on those cards as well as give a thumbnail sketch of each team drafting before or after the Cowboys.
