So I've been kicking around the idea that the 6th and 7th round is pointless

[heel31ok]

Maybe it would make the later rounds more exciting if they counted down backwards. Like have the 7th round first and lead up to the 1st round.

that is funny.

Again, unfair to the teams. If this happened, instead of guys pulling an Eli on draft day, you'd simply see prospects who wanted to avoid the draft process go to special lengths to avoid the regular draft. If this was how it happened, Clowney would've probably not declared for the draft this year, then made sure he got ruled ineligible by the NCAA after the draft thus instantly becoming a free agent and boom - he avoids the draft, avoids the rookie wage scale and hits the open market.

Your idea would create a massive issue instead of solving an imaginary, nonexistent problem.

Lol what the hell do you think this is like normal free agency? If they can create a pay scale for the draft, they can make it so that there is no incentive for talented players to avoid the draft. Rookie free agents would be subject to a league minimum standard of pay.

The teams would just have to make a pact to draft who they want the least first.

Uh... you said make them free agents.  You think the NFLPA would just agree to what you proposed?  There would be a negotiation and as always, they'd want concessions.

 

Again, you're simply imagining nonexistent problems.  Pointless thread is pointless.  I'm out.

Have fun falling asleep watching the last rounds pan out this weekend

[Growl]

Just because most players in the 6th and 7th round don't become stars in the NFL doesn't make it worthless. Teams can get a lot of value from those rounds if they know what they're doing.

This has nothing to do with stars and there is nothing to suggest there is any kind of successful formula for acquiring talent reliably in those rounds.

quick question, is it better to watch the draft on nfl network or espn?

Lol what?

[LinvilleGorge]

Lol what?

 

If you had an option as a highly sought after rookie to enter the NFL draft or you had an out where you could skip the draft and enter free agency, what route would you take?

 

It's not that hard to figure out.

[frash.exe]

Lol what?

It's just linvillegeorge not realizing this shortening the draft process has happened before and none of the arguments he's manufacturing were an issue then, especially when the league and nflpa relationship was much more tumultuous

[frash.exe]

Oh hey linvillegeorge did you forget your keys or were you just bullshitting about the whole "I'm out" spiel
