New Idea For The NFL Draft

Vendetta1 · 02-24-2012, 11:08 AM

ok so i dont know how big the draft really is in the nfl . i mean i personally love the draft its my fav time of year! but one thing i was reading today was the nfl is thinking about changing the nfl combine a bit where its fun for the fans. adding races in the 40 and battles in the bench press well how bout this..... what if they started doing the NFL Draft in different cities maybe even putting the draft in the city where the team picking 1st gets it .. i think it would be awesome for that to happen .. any takers ??

While the NFL takes advantage of the fanbase to make money off the drafting process, ultimately this event is for scouting NFL talent, not making displays to the fans.

So no, take this crappy idea elsewhere.

If the NFL thought they could make significant money out of moving the combine around and opening it up to the public you bet they would do it. Being an event for teams to scout players means very little when you start bringing up dollar signs.

The only issue is, not enough fans watch the draft after the first round, let alone go to the combine where they will have never heard of most of the players.

The idea would be great for die hards but casual fans just won't buy into it.
