There used to be a lot more rounds and they gradually reduced them over the years.

Some Great Draft Room Stories over the Years—A Look at the history of the NFL Draft - Chris Landry Football

The interest in the NFL draft has grown over the years, When I first started as a scout in the NFL, the draft was 12 rounds and all rounds were conducted on a Tuesday starting at 7am and ending shortly after 2am the next day. Here are some interesting facts and inside stories that are

No, these are your priority FAs.

Like Corey Littleton, Morgan Fox, Malcolm Brown, John Woffered, Donte Deayon, Johnny Mundt, Natrez Patrick, Nsimba Webster, Darrious Williams, Chandler Brewer, etc...

Not all stars, but role players. A few of those who are still here have a shot to be considerable impact players.

I love this ideal. :love:

I am sure that Snead would like this ideal. Rams being handed 3 draft selections would come in very handy since we need RB's. Locking up 2 to 3 RB/FB's late Saturday afternoon should provide some serious fireworks in competition. I am not as high on Henderson as most are in here & I have no faith in Brown to remain healthy period.

Rams will not play in round 1 & 5 nor will the Rams play in 1, 4 & 5 in 2021. So I say this does help the Rams who need draft ammo.

David "Deacon" Jones was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 14th round of the 1961 NFL Draft. He never forgot it....

It's likely a 1 and done to keep in line with limited ability to meet with players. I'd support it. Les seems to know who he's targeting and would likely still get his players.
Some teams will balk at the idea of not having a chance to get a guy in free agency. Draft him then and you won't have to worry.

I dig this idea. It would take a little of the pressure off of us since we don't have many picks the next two drafts. It would certainly make me feel better knowing we could almost address every need with 3 more picks. Fingers crossed.

.

what's the point? isn't that what the 7th round is for, contacting possible udfas and trying to lure them to sign with your team once the draft is finished.

Report: Kevin Colbert suggests three more rounds of 2020 draft

In adjusting to the limited-info reality of the 2020 draft, Steelers G.M. Kevin Colbert has invoked the franchise’s legendary, four-Hall-of-Famer draft (and one undrafted Hall of Famer) 1974 process. Colbert reportedly wants the next draft to have another similarity to 1974: More rounds.

Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that, in a recent conference call regarding the unprecedented 2020 draft, Colbert suggested three extra rounds to the seven-round process, given the absence of player visits to team facilities, most Pro Day workouts, and private workouts.

Colbert’s suggestion, which likely will go nowhere, underscores the reality that the draft, which is a crapshoot even in normal years, could be even more crap and less shoot this year. So Colbert reportedly thinks teams should have three extra lottery tickets in lieu of the open-season, free-for-all, land rush that happens after the draft ends.

One league source who already had real concerns about the no-holds-barred clusterfudge chase for undrafted free agents has expressed even greater worry that this year will be even worse as teams insist on firm answers from undrafted players even before the draft ends. It’s a blatant violation of the rules, but like so many other rules that routinely are broken, everyone does it.

It’s an interesting idea. My first thought is we’ve always done well with UDFA. Not sure it benefits us. But, interesting.

Curious to see the statistics on players ranging from 5th round - undrafted. Seeing improvement there compared to previous years would warrant expanding the draft to 10 rounds
