How many minutes to make a pick in the first round tomorrow?

It used to be 15, and I think they changed it to ten last year........But, now with a night dedicated to the first round, I wonder if they changed it back.............I'm just trying to plan my night tomorrow, to make sure I'm around for at least half an hour before pick 9.

Found my answer:

 

In Round 1 of the NFL Draft 2010, teams have 10 minutes to make their choice (previously, it was 15). In round two, the clock time drops to 7 minutes (previously 10); it drops to 5 minutes in Rounds 3-7.

it will be hard for the talking heads to fit the pick anaylsis and praise the Jets great offseason and primetime schedule in only ten minutes

Add in 2 to 5 minutes of commercials between every other pick...I plan on spending zero time watching this drawn-out money grab.

 

Sad.

So worst case, 10 min X 32 teams = 320 minutes = 5+ hours = 1AM before it's done. Yuck.

According to the TV listing:

ESPNHD - 140 - Thu, 4/22, 7:30 PM 3 hrs 30 min

So they figure it will go until about 11pm.

They must not think teams will use the full 10 min. (210 minutes with 32 picks = 6.5 minutes avg per pick).

 

So if that avg holds up I guess the Bills go on the clock at about 8:23.

Or that it will just run long.

 

 

Seriously, as much as this is a big deal to the NFL and even though it is ESPN it is still primetime. This thing could legitimately go 5 hours and 2o minutes if everyone uses their full time, and if it had been 15 minutes like in years past, whoa, we are talking potentially 8 hours.

With the way Goodell has been milking the cow, I'm surprised that he didn't give each team a whole evening to make their picks. That way the NFL could market the draft as a 32 part min-series.

 

:unsure:

 

I'm still baffled by the change from 15 minutes to 10 in the 1st. A team is making multi-million dollar decisions, and they lop 5 minutes off.
