Late

Did you know the NFL Draft is starting 3 hours later this year? Normally it would start at noon, this year it's starting at 3 ET. I'm going to assume the NFL (and ESPN) would only make this move if they think it's going to increase the number of viewers. Could this really be true? How does moving the draft back to a time where it's competing with MLB games and the Stanley Cup playoffs increase viewership? Sure, I enjoy the draft, but I still only half follow it through the first round. Do they think people are going to sit enthralled by the TV screen and watch the Raiders make the 3rd pick? The draft is exactly the kind of event you follow by channel surfing or watching ESPN's Bottomline. I don't get it.
