No New Date

In light of the recent NBA and NHL drafts, an idea was floated that the NFL hold its draft before the start of free agency. The other two leagues do it.

There are many sides to this story. Teams could sign free agents and then base their draft on that. However, there doesn't seem to be enough time for the NFL teams to get everything done.

In the end, all decisions are based on money. The NFL loves their three day affair. They don't plan to change success.
