On television, the telecast peaked in the 9-9:30 p.m. ET half hour with a 4.6 rating and 7.779 million viewers.
For the fourth consecutive year, Cleveland was the highest-rated metered market for Round 1 on ESPN, averaging a 12.6. Philadelphia, the host city for this year’s NFL Draft, was the No. 2 rated market on solely ESPN with a 9.1 – the highest rating in Philadelphia across all rounds of the NFL Draft on ESPN/ESPN2 since the new primetime format began in 2010. Remaining top-10 metered markets for ESPN’s coverage included Columbus, Ohio (9.0), Greenville, S.C. (8.7), Birmingham, Ala. (7.6), Dayton (7.6), Charlotte (6.9), New Orleans (6.9), Buffalo (6.8) and Norfolk, Va. (6.6).
Day 1 of the NFL Draft on NFL Network averaged a 1.52 household rating and 2.53 million viewers, up +22 percent and +24 percent respectively; the network’s most-watched NFL Draft Day 1 to-date.
Day 1 of the NFL Draft across NFL Network & ESPN combined for a 5.51 household rating and 9.21 million viewers, up +6 percent and +11 percent respectively. 2017 ranks as the second-most watched combined draft viewership behind only 2014.
Philadelphia scored a 13.31 household in the market across NFL Network + ESPN, the highest rating for Round 1 of the Draft in Philadelphia ever (data available since 2007).
