They were talking about this on NFL radio. Solomon Wilcox said he talked to some coaches and they hate the extra day. As a fan, I hate the possibility of it being spread over three days, and I feel like less time between picks may limit the amount of trades that get done.

I heard they were trying to reduce the overall length of the first round because of the possibility of airing it live in primetime, like Friday, or Sat night.

Thank God ! The draft takes way too much time. I mean and hour for the first four picks ? Seriously ? It shouldn't take that f'n long. Get in there and get out.

i agree. the draft takes way to long. if teams want to make trades they'll just have to pull the trigger faster or make trades before the draft.

I agree, I think this quote sums it up pretty well.

"I find it a rather tedious bore. Teams use up their limit of fifteen minutes deciding their selection when they've had an entire year, spent thousands of dollars on scouting and computerized systems, but, if someone takes a player before someone else, there is a sudden complete revision in everyone's thinking. It's utterly absurd and a manifestation of inefficiency."

My thoughts exactly.

It's good to hear what you guys think about this. I'm pretty heavily involved in this from the television perspective so it's good to get feedback

I like the idea of 10 and 5. I think you could go 5 and 2 if you gave each team 2 10 minute "timeouts" to make a trade or argue or whatever. This would also juice up the broadcast by giving commentators something else to criticize.

Salisbury: "Why on Earth would they use their T.O. now? Everyone knows they're going to take..."

While we're on the subject of feedback, I can't tell you how encouraging it is to find out that they think Brunell is still our starting QB up there. Thank God for the Warpath, because if I had to get my Redskins info from ESPN and the Post I would be in big trouble, no offense to you personally.

Who on ESPN thinks Brunell is our starter?

No one actually thinks Brunell is the starter at ESPN.
