Roger Goodell Considering Major Change To NFL Draft

"I started thinking last night that we gotta shorten it," Goodell said. "I'll give you guys some thoughts. You are always very creative about it. Should we have time that you can save? I'm making it up, seven-minute first round, but you can get two minutes extra if you need it. You could call it, but then you don't get it again the rest of the draft."

NFL fans had a lot of thoughts about this idea on social media.

"They don't need to shorten the clock. Just stop forcing teams to use the clock so that you can tell a player's life background and announce the date you are going to announce the schedule. It's drawn out for self-promotion, and that's the annoying part," one tweet read.

"The pick clock isn't the problem. The problem is that the dog and pony show doesn't keep up with the true pace of the picks. Strip out the ancillary stuff instead of delaying pick announcements and the first round immediately shortens," another tweet read.

"Or not waste time with stuff like that schedule release announcement, Roger… That could’ve waited for another time," another fan tweeted.

"1000% it needs to be shortened, it was like 3.5 hours last night. Completely ridiculous how long it took," another fan tweeted.

Whether it's that idea or something else, fans are united in the fact that they want to see the draft shortened in future years.
