[theogt]

POSTED 7:24 p.m. EDT, October 22, 2007​

DRAFT WILL STAY ON SATURDAY

​

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the NFL will reduce round one of the draft from 15 minutes per team to ten minutes, but that the move will not result in a shift (unfortunate typoe narrowly averted) of round one to Friday night.

​

Per Mort, the draft will start a bit later on Saturday than noon in the East.​

Mort also says that round two will drop from ten minutes to seven, and that all other rounds will entail only five minutes, as the practice has been.​

sweet.......i like it a lot

BTW......I am hoping that we get either DE Chris Long or CB Malcolm Jenkins with Cleveland's pick if we decide to go defense. If we decide to go offense, I am hoping for Adarius Bowman.
