I hate the 3 day draft, I want it back to 2 day's so we can enjoy getting more than one round in the 1st day!! Just had to throw a little humbug in there...
It's a money grab by the NFL, selling air time to companies.

It goes beyond that though. The new format allows for teams to regroup and what we have seen is more action on that 2nd and 3rd day. Keeps the draft a bit more interesting.

Yeah I don't see it that way at all. Its flipping boring no matter what! There is nothing entertaining about it, and if teams are not ready to to shake rattle and roll when their # is called, they were ill prepared.

The Browns know full well they cannot draft the correct QB so maybe they think, " Hey if we draft two we might get the right one this time"!

We use to go sit at one of local watering holes have breakfast and drink the day away there watching the draft!
I want the two days back as well!

I actually wouldn't mind a RB but just not in the first 2 round. In the 3rd round or on the final day of the draft then I'm good with it.

Better draft 2 defensive players tomorrow

Do they package up those two first rounders to move to take a defensive player in the top 5?

I think plenty of teams are prepared. There are always surprises though that shake up some draft boards and players that begin to drop that get teams talking about where they are willing to trade up to and get them.

The draft is not for everyone. What you call boring I call the most exciting weekend in football.

I think Lynch to the Raiders just sorta took the wind out of everyone else's sails

Oakland played him, they waited to see if what AP decision was going to be then made the deal, yes they were in talks with Lynch but I believe they waited to pull the trigger...

I wouldn't mind it being stretched to 4 days. Split those Sat rounds evenly between Sat and Sun. Maybe then the talking heads could actually talk about the guys being picked instead of recapping Thurs and Fri stories ad nauseum.

I think they should just change it to autodraft
