3 Days of the NFL draft - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

What did you guys think of the 3 days of the NFL draft?

I didn't hate it like I thought it would be. However after the first day I felt like I was shortchanged. I wanted more draft action, but had to wait for another day.

Didn't like it at all.

Drafting on Thursday night sucked.
Drafting early on Friday night sucked.
No draft on Sunday will suck.

I think this was the least excited I was going into the draft, and also the least excitement I felt for the duration of the draft. However, I'm sure lots of people had their TVs turned on (likely due to teams not holding draft parties on weeknights as they would have in the past), which means the NFL will laud it as a big success.

I'm hoping it goes back to Saturday/Sunday, but I don't see that happening.

Thursday night for the 1st round sucks

I hated it, but it will continue. The ratings were great, which is all that matters.

Seems to have made the position of top overall pick more valuable, since the Rams got calls for trades on Friday and Saturday morning.

The media didnt seem ready for it, especially Mayock.

What if they went to round 1 and 2 on Friday night, 3 and 4 on Saturday night, and 5-7 on Sunday?

I just didn't like the 1 round on the first night. I would dig it a lot more if they changed that.

It was completely disjointed this year.

Friday gets you going and then it just ends. Saturday was alright but 2 more rounds get you going and then when you're getting into it, Its over.

Saturday I was burned out from all the talking heads and just checked it occasionally.

Also it seemed like it took forever from the time the pick was made to get the commish to announce it which was pretty annoying too.

I didn't like it, but I did like it ending on a Saturday. It feels awkward as it seems like it's Sunday, but you still have some of the weekend left.

It feels like I wasted the whole day watching the draft today. I don't like that feeling.
