The NFL, for the most part, gets things right among the big 4 professional American sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NHL, & NBA). But the delay of the NFL Draft until May 8, two weeks later than in recent years, was just plain dumb.

The NFL wants to be in the news every month out of the year - I get it. But once we get past the draft until training camp starts in July, the only time the NFL is in the news is the policy blotter.

None of the so-called experts really knows what the Top 5 teams will do in this year's draft. So it's been even worse waiting because everyone has an opinion.

Roger Goodell likes to try new things and he has improved the league at times. But with the draft this year, he already had a captive audience. It's the old adage of "if it's not broken don't fix it."
