New NFL Draft format in 2010

The way this new formate will effect the fans is debatable. Some will love it, some will hate it. I for one think it will be nice to have something football related to watch on Thursday and Friday night in April but thats just me.

As far as the effect it will have on the teams and the draft is much more interesting to me. So much willing and dealing goes on between Saturday and Sunday night and thats just for positioning for the 3rd thru 7th rounds. Now that teams will have close to 24 hours between their 1st and 2nd round pick, the draft could become even more interesting with trades.

Also, making the 1st and 2nd round a "prime time event" could give those draftees leverage in trying to get larger contracts should a rookie cap not be in place.

So, yeah, the new formate that is suppose to be for the fans may be more of a henderence for draft parties and such but the actual effect on the teams may prove to be very entertaining.

It will cut down on draft parties, but the NFL doesn't care if you get together and drink. They only care that they have two different sessions in Prime Time. The Saturday session will only be watched by serious fans, so it doesn't matter that it's not in Prime Time. But there will be a lot of casual interest in the Thursday and Friday sessions...

This is TERRIBLE. Goodell is THE WORST! No more all-day draft party with a keg, I guess. It was the only day during the offseason for that. BOOO!

Where you been? And the first thing you found to join back up to comment on is Goddell taking away a day to have a kegger? :lol:

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
