Goodell's draft day moves get the highest marks & 10 biggest winners/losers & Five biggest gambles / 5 quotes to remember & 5 reasons to attend 09 draft
A year ago, we urged commissioner Roger Goodell to speed up the draft. So he did, and the results speak for themselves. The first round took 3:30, the fastest since 1990. A year ago it was a painfully slow 6:20, and it took its toll on Goodell. That's why he pushed for a 10-minute limit, and the plan worked so well the first two rounds were completed in the time it took to complete the first round of 2007. When Goodell announced the results his audience applauded. "I'll take that as a sign of approval," he said.
2. This time there was no Green Room drama. All six players the NFL invited to New York for this weekend's draft went off the board with the first six picks. There was no Aaron Rodgers, no Matt Leinart and no Brady Quinn. In short, there wasn't the anguish of reality TV. It was the first time all six players at the draft disappeared with the first six picks. It's a 3 pager folks & not everyone is gonna like what this guy says: but that's the beauty of it!! On a side NOTE: he agree's with Dewey on the picking of Flacco ;0 !!! this draft, more so then other years, seems to have been full of surprises and some WTF's on other teams, but you have to realize, it ain't really over yet (the draft is,) but the wheelin & dealin isn't. MAKE NO mistake i don't agree with everything that's written here.........
