3rd place playoff game would make for a far more interesting night. It'd probably be a lot like the 3rd place playoff game at the WC but still miles better than the Pro Bowl. Not too sure many players would get behind it though.
Probably a good idea but it would need a twist - winner gets pick #29, loser gets #30 maybe? It's not a lot but at least gives them an incentive, and avoids anyone throwing the game (unlikely that far down the draft, but just to be safe). EDIT: Crap, I've been beaten to it by yer man with the fancy jeans.
I'm living in Canada so the Pro Bowl was on at a convenient time whenever it kicked off, but I never even bothered to look. Somehow it seems to have become even more irrelevant over the last decade - moving it to the week before the Superbowl was a bad move for the PB, but the week benefit does benefit the SB and it's run up which is the 'greater good' I suppose.0 -

Yeah I think a 3rd place playoff is the best alternative, but as said above, a lot of players wouldn't really care if there's only a higher draft pick. 3rd place playoff at WCs are different as it's only once every 4 years, so a bronze there is actually a notable achievement.
Although if it was marketed properly, and they gave it a fancy name with a decent trophy it might have a chance, but I don't see it happening either way.
I've heard the idea of the 2 worst teams battling it out for the top overall draft pick, but again, I doubt the players would be motivated too much by that, and also, if you were coming off a 2-14 season and had to stay training for another 4 weeks you'd be fairly pissed off. Can't see that being accepted by the players either.0 -

The rumour mill in soccer is fueled by the sheer about of players/clubs that exist in so many countries; there's so many options. It's a small (in comparison) community in the NFL.https://twitter.com/ThePowerSweep/status/1089884371509829632
it's mad to me the connections the media have in the NFL in comparison to the rumour mill of soccer.
In the case of the above, it's quite possible that LaFleur was already told, but played dumb to Schefter. But I'm sure it'll get Schefter a few more followers
