Goodell may push the draft further back in '15

Ugh. I get it, but could they also come up with SOMETHING else for us to look forward to and talk about if they push it back?

It would certainly fill the hole that is usually between draft and training camp, but now we have a gap between FA and the Draft. We'll need something there to hold us over. Overall I like there being something constantly there for Football fans to do during the year.


Sources tell the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the NFL is giving "serious consideration" to pushing the draft back even further toward mid-May in 2015.
Commissioner Roger Goodell has heard the loud complaints about this year's lull between free agency and the draft, but he's undeterred. The extra time has led to extra coverage, which could very well lead to higher ratings Thursday night. "There have been some real pluses, and we'll have to evaluate that," Goodell said. "A number of our coaches have praised it, too, because it gave them a chance to spend time with their current players and make some determinations about what's the right place to go in the draft. So there's some real value to it."
