I guess we'll find out in a few days what the ratings are for round 1.
I think the ratings will be about the same either way. I don't think it is the point though.
I hate it because moving the draft from late April to late May gives rookies less time to get acclimated to the playbook and system. It is pushing passing camp, minicamp, and rookie camp into June which if the coaching staff spots something they want a rookie to work on before training camp starts, they lose a month of time working on it.
It also bunches the OTAs close together rather spreading them out more. I think it could hinder development of players.
My dislike of this has little to do whether I watch the draft. I am watching tonight even though I hate that it was pushed back two weeks. I think it is going to hurt the product on the field this fall. That is why I hate it.
