re: Jay Johnson did better on mlb draft coverage compared to

Saban did fine. The draft is a weird event for commentators. You have to basically fill air with conversation about a player. There is only so much you can say about how large or fast someone is. And he’s always been a little awkward when talking about or complementing individual players as opposed to plays, scheme, etc.

Plus he was up there with 3 other people who have been doing this for 20 years together. It’s tough to come in off the street and have the same rapport with them that they do with each other.
