The Draft in May?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

The NFL is looking at the idea of tinkering a bit with the offseason schedule of events (link)

What it would involve:

- The Scouting Combine would be in March

- Free Agency would begin in April

- The Draft would be held in May

Goodell insists this is not in any way related to the 18 game season option (link) but the NFLPA isn't especially excited about the idea (link).

The league's proposal doesn't really alter the order of the events. It just pushes them all back a little.

So, good idea or useless?

This in no way benefits players. It reduces the amount of time rookies have to get acquainted with their new teams and playbooks, likewise for free agents. Cuts down time to negotiate with holdouts, and, while it will boost the amount of time to resign players, the NFL doesn't want that because there are already a bunch of great players playing for teams the League could care less about and this in turn affects free agency.

I've heard on more than one occasion from league people that they feel the long gap between the draft and end of the season is too long anyways, as your big board is mostly finished by seasons end.

No, this is just another Goodell ploy to change things for the sake, or money, or simply his own ambition.

What was it Cassius said about ambition again?

    • Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂
    • Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
