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.

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.

The May date is right in the middle of sweeps. It enables them to charge more for commercials on NFL Network since the ratings are so high every year. It also gives the league some more leverage with the Cable companies so they add the channel. As usual it's all about maximizing revenue for the NFL.

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