Make it July so the teams can have plenty of time for picnics together.

Re: Draft in May? That would suck!
Well, if Marrone and company are as good as some on this board seem to think they will be, the Bills will be playing in January and February, meaning the Draft will be about the same amount of time from the end of the season as it is currently.

Re: Draft in May? That would suck!
Yeah, that would suck.
Especially since it's being argued that it will help free agents land teams. Signings were minimized this year so now it can be longer and even more drawn out?
Not a fan of this move.
The only upside is that the league year and free agency would start before the Combine. That would mean mid to late February.
The upside would be less time without something meaningful happening in the NFL.
If the draft is mid-May, the dust won't settle until late May and then TC starts end of July.
That leaves us with only two months where there isn't anything going on. And if you follow OTA's it's more like only a month to a month and a half.Last edited by X-Era; 05-21-2013, 05:51 AM.

Re: Draft in May? That would suck!
..."Pushing the draft back to May is something Breer reported two months ago. But it's probably happening in 2014 because of a scheduling conflict. The Radio City Rockettes show, "The Spring Spectacular," is scheduled to be held at Radio City Music Hall in late April, when the draft usually is held.
"We're actually getting bumped by the Easter Bunny. They're going to have an Easter show. We'll be prepared for that," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said last month on "The Rich Eisen Podcast.":...

Re: Draft in May? That would suck!
Sounds good to me.
With more and more teams looking both at lower level prospects and even internationally when it comes to Free Agency this will give teams more time to do their due diligence.COMING SOON...

Re: Draft in May? That would suck!
As opposed to what the Scouts do the rest of the year? Not being cute. But, this is already an almost year round job for the scouts. How does adding a month change anything? It just means one less month to prepare for next years draft... or simply shifts the yearly process by one month.Originally posted by DraftBoy View Post

2014 scouting won't ramp up till fall practices start so it's not like there isn't time in between April and August.Originally posted by X-Era View PostCOMING SOON...

Re: Draft in May? That would suck!
Team to team it doesn't. And since scouting happens almost year round changing the date doesn't make any real difference.Originally posted by THATHURMANATOR View Post
If scouts start two weeks after May 27th preparing for a May draft the following year is it any different than starting two weeks after April 27th for an April draft? It's still 12 months minus two weeks of preparation for a draft. That's the point. Truth is they look at prospects throughout their college careers but still you get the point... Preparations for next years draft start two weeks after the draft so it doesn't really matter when the draft is held.
And no, I don't know that scouts get a two week break after the draft. I think I've heard it's roughly that but I don't know for sure. Point is that whatever it is it doesn't matter what time of the year it is.

Re: Draft in May? That would suck!
I care. Waiting another month for the draft will be awful. That's another whole month I have to listen to the ******s talk about the prospects. While the rest of the ******s continue making their dumb ass mock drafts.Originally posted by THATHURMANATOR View PostLast edited by BertSquirtgum; 05-21-2013, 08:52 PM.Comment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
- There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
