Football Betting Lines

10/23/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The National Football League announced it's moving back the start time of the draft for next year and will give teams less time to select a player in the first round.

The draft will start at 3 p.m. (et), three hours later than originally scheduled. Also, there will be 10 minutes between picks instead of the normal 15, this after the opening round lasted more than six hours in 2007.

In Round 2, the selection time has been shortened to seven minutes from 10 minutes.

The first two rounds will take place on the first day of the draft, scheduled for Saturday, April, 26, 2008. Previously, the first three rounds of the draft were conducted on Saturday.

"We believe these changes will make for a more streamlined and efficient draft," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said at a league meeting in Philadelphia.

Rounds 3-7 will be conducted on Sunday, with each selection allocated five minutes. The draft on Sunday will begin at 10 a.m. (et), an hour earlier than in years past.
