NFL DRAFT on Thurs night

What does everyone think of the Draft starting on Thursday night this year. Personally it used to be one of my favorite Saturdays of the year. I think this was a bad idea.

I think so too but I'm sure its to try and get more people to watch.

Not a big fan of the change. A friend that I work with talked about how one year he and a group of friends left after work on a Friday, waited in line all night and went to the draft. Said it was an awesome time, and I guess in the back of my mind I thought that would be a pretty cool thing to do. Now that dream has been crushed, but at least I won't have to flip back and forth between the draft and the OSU spring game.

I don't think it really matters what day it's on. The diehards are still gonna watch it. If they really want to increase the ratings, they need to get rid of all the downtime in between picks. I always lose interest in a hurry cuz it takes so long.

I think they did...wasn't it 15 min between picks then they changed it to 10?
