NFL Draft

With the NFL draft nearing quickly, teams are getting ready to go on the clock and make their picks in high pressure situations. I can only imagine how much pressure a general manager is under during draft day. In the first round each team gets ten minutes to make a selection that can potentially make or break a team. But yesterday, the Miami Dolphins locked up Jake long for five years. I think teams should not be allowed to make their picks before the draft. I feel like in theory, the entire draft could be done before draft day. Now that Miami is off the clock, St. Louis is on the clock and has 96 hours to deliberate who their first round selection will be. But the Falcons at three don't know who will be available when draft day rolls around and they only get ten minutes. The NFL should not allow any player to sign before draft day. It's the only way to keep things fair.
