NFL Draft pushed back to May 8-10 for 2014

The 2014 NFL Draft has been pushed back to May 8-10.
Due to a scheduling conflict at Radio City Music Hall, the draft will be held two weeks later than usual. If this date works out for the NFL in terms of increased interest and revenue created by the extended buildup, it will almost certainly be the new permanent date. As for other events on the league calendar, the timeline stays intact. The Combine will be held Feb. 18-25 and the new league year/free agency will commence on March 11.

That will cut into time that teams have to develop their rookies once drafted. I know its only two weeks but they already have to learn quite a bit in a short time.

Just makes it even more important to get smart guys, with less time to learn the plays and get ready for NFL life these guys should really be busting their asses in that short time in between getting drafted and OTA's...
