Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - NFL looking to reduce time between draft picks

The teams FO's/draft folks have every possible scenario mapped out well before hand. If they didn't, they shouldn't be part of any NFL FO. It( Draft) is way overhyped and totally overplayed in significance. Most of the draftees will not make much of an impact at all with the exception of the teams low on the totem pole so to speak. Half of them are busts after 2 seasons. A fellow poster mentioned Bergman, and in a way ESPN helped create the present day monster with their coverage of this event like it was something of large significance. Using our draft as an example, only Landry and maybe two others will make the team, and even that will be a stretch, with most of them relegated to being practice squad rejects or NFL Europe exiles.
