Report: League to Move Draft to May, Change Start of League Year to Before Combine
Per NFL.com
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...l-draft-to-may
Tentative date of next years draft to be May 15th.
This looks to be a trial run for next year and if it works, it will stay.

I kind of like it. Keeps football more relevant this deep into the off season.

Eh, not sure I like this. By the time April 25th rolls around, I'm dying for some Football coverage and the draft satisfies me Football thirst until about July, then Training Camp has started :word

Another perspective is it gives teams almost an entire extra month to scout, assess, and work free agency.
I like it. I especially like that the new league year will start before the combine and not in March. This will force teams to have to make decisions a little quicker on players and figure out the cap. IMO, that alone could make free agency much more unique.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Draft time is always a huge wait for me, and now they made it worse! Don't like this move at all!

This headed the wrong direction. I would have preferred seeing the draft moved up a few weeks to permit coaches more time to assess their new players.
In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Great! An extra month of the already 5,000,000 threads speculating if every player eligible for the draft is coming to the Ravens.
