Well, the commish thinks it would be better to reduce the amount of time a team gets in the first round from 15 to 10 minutes. Then reducing the second round from 10 to 7 minutes. I don't know how that would effect the remaining rounds, but it appears he will run all of this by the owners (smart) even though he doesn't need to. Thoughts ??

I'll tell you one thing, my days on the site during draft weekend would be MUCH shorter !!!

WHODEY !!!

I see no problem with shortening the time on the first day, with all the tech advances in the recent past 10 minutes is a lot longer than it was in 1980.

I am all for it..15 minutes is a stretch...The other interesting rumor that I hear is the possibility

of having the first round or the first half of the first round on Friday night, with the draft resuming on Saturday and Sunday.

Something like that would give teams an opportunity to regroup and access the days events and position themselves for the second round. Interesting concept for sure.

I'm for it.

Better make sure your scouting department is on point with it's evaluation of players or that 10 minutes could get ugly !!!

WHODEY !!!

The real question is how much impact the shorter time period would have on trades. Advances in technology are all well and good but less time will have a direct impact on a teams ability to play one trade offer against another.

I'm all for shortening the time, I don't think team's really need that much time to decide.

I am all for shortening the time. If you (teams) have done their homework. They should have it pretty much decided scenario wise which direct they want to go. This past draft was crazy. A team would make a trade so you knew they wanted someone, but would let the time almost expire before handing in their pick.

The only thing I am leary about with this possible changes is the Friday primetime round one. They say this could create more viewers but I think this could destroy more relationships. Can you imagine telling your significant other you want to spend a Friday night (6:00pm to probably 11:00 or so). Don't get me wrong, I am planning a stay in the dog house to watch it!

Relationships are all about being considerate to one anothers needs and sharing. Get a TV in the kitchen so that she can watch it as too - she does the dishes, prepares your meals and cracks you a cold beer from the fridge whenever you tell her to.
