WHAT MATTERS:
- A sports-starved populace showed up in force for ABC's coverage of Round One of the NFL Draft (1.8/1.6/1.3), up drastically from last year's round one which had a 1.2 in prelims/finals. There was also coverage on ESPN/NFL Network.
- NBC threw the finales of its Thursday staples up against the Draft, and the series finale of Will and Grace (0.5) managed to decline week-to-week at 9/8c, with a retrospective special (0.5) matching it at 9:30. W&G was actually the lowest-rated NBC show as the finales of Superstore (0.7), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.6) and Law and Order: SVU (0.7) were all even with their last episodes.
- CBS' Man with a Plan (0.6) and Broke (0.6) each dipped as their respective lead-ins went back into repeats, though Broke managed to grow on its Mom repeat lead-in (0.5). Fox's Last Man Standing (0.6) and the CW (0.1/0.1) were even.
