That's dumb. People already have a tough time remembering that the draft is the last full weekend in April. They're going to be clueless when it moves to May.
The wait between the combine and the draft is already too goddamn long. |

Why doesnt the draft rotate cities? or the combine for that matter?
I think it would help drive interest in markets where the NFL needs interest driven - future expansion cities, cities where game attendance is down really low, etc... They could sell tickets, too. Just seems dumb to have it in those places "just cuz." **** tradition, make money and drive brand interest. |
Interesting move. That period of time is also when a lot of TV shows are ending their seasons.

lame.
Goddell needs to catch an AIDS football. the more and more I watch the nFL, the more and more I come to almost not even giving a shit. |
You would think after all these years that Radio City Music Hall would be booked for infinity specifically for the draft...Another Pussification of the NFL because of Goodell. :#

Oh good, add another month of BS and hype to endure befor the actual draft.
|
Let the kids and their families enjoy being drafted and making the transition to their new cities before they have to attend rookie mini-camps. Roger sees this as an extra month of draft hype revenue. I'm sure the nflnetwork will have a series of QB camp, CB camp, OL camp, DL camp etc.

My minor league idea would work perfect now March-Early May schedule, have the championship game the Saturday night of the draft. It would keep the football fix going.

I really don't get why the NFL doesn't understand the value of marketing to places outside of New York. We need our next commissioner to be from a region outside the Northeast. |
The draft should be in late February. Most NFL personnel say most draft boards are already finished before the combine. Having the draft start before free agency makes a lot of sense to me. It would make free agency a lot more interesting.

I'm a little surprised teams will be happy losing a month for the draft picks to learn the playbook.
