What's the deal with the draft not starting until 4:00 PM next week?

Are they only doing the first round Saturday? How many minutes between picks for the first round? I know they shortened it some last year, but can't recall the details. I haven't been able to find the draft details on ESPN nor NFL.com, but admit I only only did a half-assed search.

First two rounds...15 minutes per in the first round and 10 minutes in the second.

Reason: West Coast.

Reason: West Coast.Thanks. Wow, it has the potential to go very, very late. I'll have to not start drinking until 4:00.

Actually, they decreased the number of minutes per team in the first and second rounds. Teams only have 10 minutes in the first round, and 7 minutes in the second. Then 5 minutes in every round thereafter.

Because they knew I was having some fam over earlier in the day for the grand opening of my newly renovated crib! They didn't want to interrupt us!

How sweet of them. :cheers:
