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:

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
