NFL shortens first 2 draft rounds

I'm not sure how great an impact this will have. Last year the 1st round took 6:08. That works out to 11 1/2 minutes per team. Take out the first couple of picks which go relatively quickly(ie: shorter than 10 minutes so therefore unaffected), a few others that go quickly also for whatever reason and that probaly ends up being like 13 minutes per team for about 25 teams. So it probably shortens the first round by 75 minutes. Not a huge difference. Now the 7 minutes in the second round will help more proportionately I think.

Good move only bad thing is starting the draft at 3. That is going to seem different.
