Over the past decade the NFL Draft has become one of the premier events of the spring, rivaling actual sporting events like MLB’s regular season games and the NBA/NHL playoffs. And according to a report in the Dallas Morning News, the league is ready to take advantage of that.

The NFL is currently looking at making the draft a three day event, with round one starting on Thursday night in primetime, and the rest playing out Friday night and Saturday afternoon. No decision has been made as of yet, but it’s an idea that certainly has merit given the popularity of the event overall, and it would allow the media coverage to avoid the all day boredom that the current model causes.

At any rate, it will be interesting to see how this ends up, as the league is finally realizing that the two day approach has significant flaws in the TV aspect. As always, we’ll keep you updated.
