Irish Jet Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 5 x 15 = 75 5 x 10 = 50 75 - 50 = 25 Do we need to continue? Nice.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 5 x 15 = 75 5 x 10 = 50 75 - 50 = 25 Do we need to continue? Excuse me? We're talking about cutting down a 15 minute draft to 10 minutes. That is not cutting down 50%, no matter how you wanna bring up different numbers that have to do with anything. It is 33 1/3rd percent cut off.

I think Sperm meant that the additional 5 minutes is 50% more than 10 minutes, which would be an accurate statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 More time to work out trades? You mean to tell me you can't work out a trade or trades from February through April 20-something? It has to be done in 15 minutes on ESPN? I'm not buying that. What is 5 less minutes in a 2 and a half month span? Hmmm.....you mean the Pats' trade for Randy Moss was in the works prior to being on the clock? 15 minutes was too long. 5 may be too short. 10 sounds just about right to me. If a team can't make an informed decision in 10 minutes - a decision they have mapped out weeks, months before the draft - they deserve to suck.

CoachTsurfing Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I hope the Vikings can handle that. Remember a few years back when they had back to back drafts and they couldn't get their pick up quick enough? Anyways, I really like the idea of cutting down the time. I wish they would keep it on Sat. morning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 For those that don't like the 10 minute first round time. I think the lower rounds are more difficult to pick than the first round and they only have 5 minutes. So, while I really like the 10 minutes time limit in the first round. I hate the Friday night deal. I think Goodell is a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Its a shame, nothing beats breaking open a few beers and watching the draft on a Saturday morning to beat the hangover Friday night gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 The draft was the last pure thing the NFL had going, moving it to prime is a slap to all the real fans of the game and the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWC611 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I must say that I am in the ten minute camp. While there may be surprises, teams know who they are fgoing to pick and who they will take if there guy is not on the board or if they are going to trade, so I do not think it is that detrimental. Maybe taking five miutes off will make for more meaningful and concise negotiations for trades. All the teams will only have ten minutes so I do not think they will d*ck around with each other and offer deals that are unrealistic. It still makes the first round way too long. But I do not see how you can get any much shorter than that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 So wait. The change from 15 minutes to 10 minutes is close to definite but what about the change from the 1st round going from Saturday at Noon to Friday Night? Is that as close to being definite as the time switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should reduce the time for each successive round so that by the time you get to the sixth round you have something like 15 seconds to pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Day 1 (Rounds 1-3) should all be 10 minutes and Day 2 (Rounds 4-7) should all be 5 minutes. That is the way it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would limit 10 minutes to the first and second round all other rounds five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
