Personally, I would absolutely hate this. NFL draft weekend is a long-standing tradition.

Horrible idea. Draft weekend is great how it is. Well, how it was when it started earlier.

That will ruin every draft party. Whether it's in your living room or at the stadium. Not going to be happy if it happens.

They were talking about this last year except it was going to be Round 1 on Friday night, 2-4 Sat, and 5-7 Sun.

**** awful. I already hate that they start it late and the first day is only two rounds.

Yep, I was saying that this year, wish they started it at like noon and had rounds 1-3 on Saturday, but I'm guessing their thinking there is nobody will watch on Sunday then. Everything is based on ratings, which obviously isn't surprising.

But moving it to the weekdays would really blow.
