    Draft time shortened for first two rounds

    NFL cuts time between picks in draft's first, second rounds

    Associated Press

    PHILADELPHIA -- The NFL on Tuesday cut from 15 minutes to 10 the time between picks in the first round of its draft after a 2007 record round of 6 hours and 8 minutes.

    It also moved the starting time of the draft from noon ET to 3 p.m. and limited the first day to two rounds instead of three.

    For everyone that watches ALL of the draft (like me) this is big news. I am going to miss Keyshawn and Kiper trying to kill 15 minutes in between picks with mindless babbling.

          I agree with you. It seems like they want the beginning of the 2nd round to fall right in primetime for some reason. I don't like it at all. The noon start has always been a good time. I also hate losing the 3rd round on Saturday. sunday is usually a boring draft day.

            will a 3rd rd pick be worth less now that it isnt a day 1?

                I try watching the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th round...but I start falling asleep. They don't treat those rounds like they do the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Now I bet the 3rd round will become the same way.

                  I won't, Kiper is a tool.

                    I think the NFL should cut the draft down to 5 rounds and have it all in one day starting at 9:00am. RD1 - 10 min , RD2 - 10 min, RD 3/4/5 - 5 min.

                    It's way too long of a process, especially considering the amount of players who actually make the active roster after the first 4-5 rounds. Also, for the teams that suck ass and are forced to keep their 6-7 RD picks because of a lack of talent, it would put more of an emphasis on scouting and paying your won stars instead of letting them walk into FA. True dynasties can be built again.
