It's about time!!! Good move by the NFL, cutting first round times from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, second round times from 10 to 7. The only thing I don't like is them pushing back the starting time and cutting the first day to two rounds...I guess this means that you'll start referring to third round picks (many of whom start in their first year) as second day picks.

yeah...I have to admit...watching the Dophins take Tedd Ginn was almost worth the 15 minute wait lol...but these "no-brainer" picks needed to be sped up...I spent an entire day on the couch this year and was barely able to even see any of the second round.

yeah...but I believe their explanation for passing on Quinn was that they knew they were going to acquire Trent Green and he was going to be the quarterback for the forseeable future...I don't think there's any way they had Beck close enough on the board to Quinn to make them feel good.
