Guest Masbinacci Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 http://www.nj.com/sports/nfldraft/index.ssf/2013/05/nfl_draft_moved_back_to_may_in.htmlNEW YORK -- The NFL draft is moving to May next year.The league officially announced today that the 2014 edition will be held May 8-10 at Radio City Music Hall because of a scheduling conflict in April at the venue. The NFL has yet to decide on dates for drafts in 2015 and beyond.Commissioner Roger Goodell had said last week he expected the event to permanently move to May from late April, when Radio City is hosting an Easter show. The league is contemplating other venues for future drafts, including the possibility of holding it somewhere other than New York City.The last time the entire draft took place in May was 1984.The NFL says there will be no significant changes in the dates for other offseason events next year.

Hokies&Falcons Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I would love for them to move it somewhere other than New York. I am sick of the New York fans, year after year. I'd like to hear another teams fans boo every single draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkerFalcon8710 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The worlds most watched sporting draft which had been held in the same place on the same dates for how many years in a row now... Just happens to have a scheduling conflict? Whos the guy who overbooked that one?!Come on now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I feel bad for the FO guys, their offseason work just got 3 weeks longer. Who needs a family or personal life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Freddie Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 My downside to moving the NFL Draft date to May is the likelihood that the announcement of the NFL season schedule will also be moved to a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 As of now I'm fine with the draft date change. I also wouldn't mind the draft being held in different cities. The should also move the probowl and combine. The 3 teams who don't win the superbowl can all bid on hosting one of next years events.

Duff_Man Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The NFL is great because it has gaps of no action. These moves to make it year-round are stupid. Just about as stupid as Thursday Night games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep the same times of training..... The falcons will be fine. While 90% of the other teams will be pushing it...... And that might cause a problem.
