In previous years, the NFL Draft always started at 11AM. It was a spectacular day of just talking about football and the new players entering the league. It tended to take about 6 hours. Now, they chopped 5 minutes per pick in the first round and have dropped a whole round from day one. As a result, the shorter day 1 draft coverage will start 4 hours later than usual. I can only imagine this will mean more time for a 17 hour pregame show.
Maybe there are some other uses for the delay.
– Berman thinks of more witty puns for “B.J. Raji” that are not racist.
– The extra delay will work Kiper up into even more of a fervor.
– Todd McShay can put the final touches on round 7 of his Mock Draft.
– The Lions get to wait an extra 4 hours before completely blowing the draft.
– The Vikings get 4 more hours to convince themselves that they do not need a quarterback
– Sal Paolantonio gets to spend more time with his Philadelphia concubines.
– Chris Mortenson will report and retract 15 more stories.
– Matthew Stafford insists that he is no better than the third pick.
– Jets fans get too drunk to boo.
– The world realizes that they have a little crush on Sage Steele, the quiet girl who was always there when you needed her.
– Brett Favre unretires
The Lions are on the clock!
