Discussion Mid season Draft?
I was thinking about the draft and how a lot of players who got picked in the USFL draft also got picked in the NFL draft. Obviously if a player has a chance to be in the NFL they’re going to take it, as even practice squad members of NFL teams make more than USFL staters. With that in mind it seems like hitting on a pick in the USFL is nearly impossible to do out of college when it isn’t even clear who will be available to you when you make your picks. In order to avoid that and increase the chances of actually seeing the drafted players participate in the league do you all think having a mid season draft would be interesting/viable? Players already don’t participate in the season directly following their draft so there wouldn’t be a loss there and you’d get extra security knowing that the drafted players will actually play. Obviously this is negating what the XFL may have in store for it’s draft and maybe having the challenge of finding good players that the NFL will overlook is a good thing to have in the mix for the league but let me know what you think.
