Draftguys TV: The Adventure
Interest in the NFL Draft is exploding. In 2009, 36.7 million fans tuned into ESPN to watch it. The only problem? After the first few picks, most fans don’t know too much about the players selected. Folks have to trust basic stock footage clips and second-hand pundit analysis to evaluate what’s happening.
But what if fans had their own scouting reports on more than just the top 10 players? What if someone evaluated the best sleepers, stories, and stars with the depth of an NFL scout using exclusive HD footage and interviews in a language the viewer would understand? Well, we decided someone should, and that someone should be us. We pitched the idea to ON Networks, and they bought it. Like, 51 episodes bought it.
So how did we make a 51 episode show in 3 months with a budget of less than $75k?
