NFL wants to turn NFL Draft into four day "event"

[NAHSTE]

baseball is boring but some mooks will watch a press conference for four days

Damn, now I'll have to use two vacation days instead of just one.

Stretching it out to four days makes sense only if the NFL is considering moving the final two days of the draft to another city, rotating it from towns like Pittsburgh to Cleveland to Philly to Dallas and creating intense local interest for a large chunk of the process in which national (and New York City) interest is much, much lower.

How is moving the back end of the draft from city to city enticing? Are the people of Denver really going to flock to some venue to watch anonymous offensive linemen get drafted rounds 4-7? Nobody cares.

Highlighting round 1 is fine. City to city is a little dumb but ok. But youre just creating an extra day of uselessness. 3-7 are absolutely a snooze fest. Especially now that you have two networks competing for clever quips , and mindless banter instead of analysis of the actual picks.
