That's the thing, the draft should be conducted at the pace that suits the football ops. people, not condensed to meet the fickle needs of a viewing audience. Attempting to televise it was a bad idea.

It's not like any other professional leagues have figured out how to televise a draft.....

Such a big win that the radio station shut down permanently 3 months later...

This is why the cfl can't have nice things. Bell doesn't want to spend money on ****. Just sit on their piles of money and give share holders nice dividends

Or atleast make it decent TV. 

I don't think the draft speed is an issue for front offices, they are prepared to the hilt. (Or are going to have a trash draft any way.)

All drafts need to speed up! They are ******* boring  yadda yadda yadda draft yadda yadda....like watching a full baseball game in slow motion...

Agree. And no more of this 2 day draft bs. Except for the MLB. Doing 2 full rounds and 2 compensatory rounds in one day then the other 18 another is fine.

If you think Edmonton needed 6 minutes of being on the clock and two commercials to make their pick, I got a bridge to sell you. The only time these teams use the clock is when there are calls being made to/from other teams. Otherwise, they could probably bang the draft out in two-three hours.

Best draft for cfl might be going live to all the teams to make the picks. But doing it like super quick. Maybe after rd 1 we get a 10 minute breakdown of the 1 st rd picks then rapid fire the rest in 45 minutes. They all have lists. It doesn’t take 5 minutes to scratch guys names off

Back in the early 2ks when it was online and by phone it was really fast after the first round.

It would be completely fine if they pulled the random interviews with people not even involved with the draft along with the 15 minutes of dead air at the start.

Start the clock on the 1st overall pick 5 minutes before they go to air.
