    Not a fan of the draft schedule

    I think Separating the first and second round is a big mistake especially for the viewers. Way too many teams shuffle firsts and seconds and to have to wait another day to see how it turns out kind of sucks.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

        Who cares about the fans exactly? This is the perfect set up for marketing, ratings, and most importantly for the NFL personell guys.

        In the end this will be a far more exciting set up than ever for fans as well. I think you might enjoy it more than you think in the end.

          They are trying to boost ratings for the later rounds as no one seems to stick around to watch them on Tee Vee. 80 and 90 degree weather on a weekend will not keep a lot of people inside watching the fifth, sixth or seventh rounds.

          I agree that separating the first two rounds is a mistake. If you think it impacts the teams, how about the guys who are waiting for the second round to get picked because for some reason they were overlooked in the first round. This gives them another night to dwell on why they didn't go.

          That said, 10 hours (two rounds if everyone takes max time) is a long time. Perhaps this separation will be better.
          When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

            I agree with this. I also think the new format will give teams more time to make trades.

              I think there will be less trades because teams will have more time to gameplan based on who's left.
              I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
