NFL draft needs to be earlier on the calendar
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The draft is too late.
We’re almost there, but the wait is unreasonable.
The NFL reportedly dreams of its marquee spring event reaching the television heights of a presidential 
election, which tells us plenty about the degree of its self-importance.
Shoot for the stars as an even bigger TV event, I don’t care. But the best TV events come after the proper amount of buildup, and the current setup is too much.
The league has chosen a two-month window of speculation and prediction during which nothing actually happens, barring a trade or two.
It’s genius, really, but it could be better.
