Thursday's broadcast of the NFL Draft drew ratings that were 50% higher than last year.

 

Being on two networks helped, but word is the ESPN coverage alone outdrew four NBA and NHL playoff games.

 

I'd say the May Draft is here to stay.

Please no 4 freaking days!! I really hate the format now. I liked it when round 1 and 2 were together, but its just because I really can't work on the Fridays when the draft starts. I have done absolutely jack all day bc I have been constantly on this site and others trying to find out whats going to happen. Screw Goddell for making me such as slackass

I also think having the guys bring their moms (with Mother's Day coming up) was a hit with fans too.

 

As far as the format, the league wants Round One to be a prime time event.  That pretty much means it has to stand alone because it just takes too long.  Putting another round or two on the same day would mean fanatics would have to stay up till 3am to coach it all.  So the 'at least three day' format is pretty much permanent.

 

And, like it or not, I think the May schedule is too.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
