The NFL is looking to cash in on some primetime ad revenue by changing the televised format of the NFL Draft:
Commissioner Roger Goodell notified teams Thursday that the draft will be spread over three days in 2010, running April 22-24.
...
ESPN and the NFL Network will televise the entire show.
The first round will take place on Thursday, April 22, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The second and third rounds will start at 6:30 p.m. ET on April 23.
Rounds 4 through 7 will be on April 24, starting at 1 p.m. ET.
Basically, if your team doesn't have a first round pick, you can spend the first day of the draft watching Jets fans boo their team.
