Free agency is always before the draft. I am sure the free agents like it that way. Higher demand for them, I guess. I could see instances where free agent players would be in higher demand after the draft.
I wonder if the teams would be able to build better if they had the draft before free agency begins. I would like to see the NFL try that for a few years and see what happens.
Would it save the NFL owners money?
Would it result in a better product on the field?
Would the NFL need to have the players union approve it before they did it?
