    seems pretty ridiculous to me.

    someone gets a high ankle sprain in the championship game and they're forced to workout at 70% at the combine because they can't have a pro day three weeks later and run a slow 40 time costing them millions....but i guess costing the kid millions is what the owners are trying to do.

    Yeah but whoever gets picked at number one is still gonna get paid number one numbers. Just might be a different kid..

    I don't really understand why this would happen. I would like to see the draft moved up but not that much.

    The draft should be early April and always after free agency. That way teams know where they need to draft.

    This right here is the exact problem with the combine. WAY too much stock put in to it while collegiate experience go unnoticed.
    Also the reason why high projected picks fall low after playing great for 3 years, and why people like Chris Henry get drafted.

    Seems to me it HAS to be after Free Agency. It makes no sense any other way.

    But if Free agency were to be after the draft teams could select the best player and not worry about the over price player they just signed.

    I'm against it, it would just increase the dead part of the year, which is long enough already.
