Roger Goodell on the draft speed

The draft went by pretty quick last night.
I think with all the improvements in scouting and the combines, pro days. All the film of the players. Teams are more prepared to know who they want the draft.

Teams have their big boards. So really that time they use is to be 100% sure. As well, time to seek trades.

7 minutes would be great, but stay with the 10 minutes. And just how would the one use of adding 2 minutes work. They only have 1 pick anyway.

2 minute warning lol
 
The first pick in itself needs to be sped up, you have alllllll this time, you know who you're picking, pick and get on with the draft.

I'd love to see them get round 1 and 2 in the same day if possible sheesh
I prefer they go back to the 2 day Saturday and Sunday draft.
This set up now sucks.

If they shorten to 7 minutes. Rounds 2 and 3 are at 5 minutes. Do that one day, all the rest the next day.

Ratings over quality.
 
They definitely need to shorten the draft times... takes forever for no reason...
Teams have lost their draft pick, because they didn’t get the card in on time while taking phone calls. The first round is fine timewise.

yeah prime time baby that's why we have it on Thursday. I'd hate for it to be that way over the weekend, I work long days on the weekends, and would be a struggle to watch it!!

(yes I actually work believe it or not) got a wife and family to take care of:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

10 minutes is not enough time when you’re on the phone trying to make a trade. You definitely can lose your pic by not getting your card in on time. No teams need this time. Especially in the first round.

It’s not always about you, lol don’t take that wrong. I was going to say cowboy brother, but I know how much that upsets you.

no no no no I don't want to ever see you put yourself in a position to where people dislike you on here for calling me BROTHER (I'd love that, bro!!)
 
it would go alot faster if they would just announce the pick...when the pick is in.... instead of all the hoopla in between.
I don't know that it would go faster, but it would be more interesting. Instead of wasting time with pomp, we could actually get people discussing the picks/players.
 
Anyone that remembers when the draft was 15 minutes per pick in the first round would realize how much faster it is now.

I say keep it at 10 minutes in the first. If they want to wrap it up earlier, just start it earlier.

It is a little bit of torture, waiting for your team to be on the clock. It’s going to move faster tonight. We might get 2 1/2 round in.
