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:

      This might be a good time for a Jerry Richardson reference.   ...   Actually, no it wouldn't 😕

      Nicolas Cage is certainly fun to watch in "Nicolas Cage" roles (Face Off, The Rock, 8MM). Parts generally need to suit his particular persona or things can wind up looking kind of silly ('Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEES!!!") Having him play an actual historical figure... eeehhh, just seems like a bad idea, similar to having Dwayne Johnson star in a biopic about Martin Luther King 😕

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Dude, I’m sorry but I don’t get your worries about this magical culture and fan involvement. We’ve sucked balls since 2018 because we actually did what you want to do. Limp along and try to win as many games as possible without actually being good. All that does is cause the same problems you didn’t want to gamble on happening. Well, they did what you wanted and what did we get for it? 7 drafts and Young, Horn and Brown, not exactly a SB winning core. We haven’t won more than 7 games since 2017 and you are worried about risking our culture, etc.? That’s silly. Cam and Luke have been gone for 5+ years now. We finally had a draft in 2025 where we actually had our full allotment of picks. We absolutely screwed up by not going full rebuild. Texans did in the same window and they’ve been to the playoffs multiple times and have a much better team. Any fan issues now in Houston even with the Watson massage debacle? I will separate this statement because I get annoyed at back seat driving type comments. Many of us like minded draft followers and GM and wannabes said that we should have tanked in 2022 and traded every guy where teams offered quality picks. You might not like it, but we were 100% correct. Sure, Fitterer might have pissed them away but the Rams 2024/2025 1sts would have been Morgan’s picks. You also have to rebuild through the draft, period, which is why bad teams try build up picks, not trade them all away or don’t take hauls when available. There’s not one team that rebuilt through FA and was successful. It doesn’t exist because the key guys (Eagles OL/DL, Hurts, Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones) on Super Bowl teams (Kuechly, TD, Cam) are drafted. I grew up in CT and I went to Pats games when people handed you stacks of free tickets in the parking lot because no one wanted to go to their games. One QB and a bunch of solid OL/D picks and they were a different franchise. We can only hope that Canales is the right coach and that 2025 is the start of drafting well. If I’m being objective, we’ve still got a ways to go.
