The NFL moving the NFL Draft to a three-day schedule doesn't make a lick of sense to me. On April 22, 2010, the NFL will conduct the first round of the NFL Draft. On a Thursday night. Saturday was perfect. You could have some buddies over, have a cook out, and debate first round projections. It was a weekend event and it was awesome.
Now?
Now the weekend won't have the first round and the second and third rounds start on Friday night at 6:30 PM. The Draft will conclude on Saturday with rounds four through seven -- of which starts at 10 A.M. So the question now is: what are you going to do on Sunday? I loved rolling out of bed on Sunday, flipping the television on and being bombarded with more draft coverage with a lot of names I never heard of. That never mattered. It was the event I looked forward to, up until Mr. Irrelevant.
Date | Day | Starting Time | Rounds |
4.22 | Thursday | 7:30 PM EST | 1 |
4.23 | Friday | 6:30 PM EST | 2-3 |
4.24 | Saturday | 10:00 AM EST | 4-7 |
Do you guys like the new schedule?
