7 points: Lions looking to change past failures
Point 1: The scheduling change for the NFL Draft is both good and bad.
For years, draft fanatics have rolled out of bed on a Saturday morning at the end of April and donned their NFL gear for gatherings with their friends and families. Hot wings, brats and other assorted artery-clogging grub that could be washed down with a favorite brew was devoured. But with the NFL's move to Thursday and Friday night prime-time slots for the first three rounds of the draft — with the final four rounds scheduled for Saturday morning and afternoon — that's just not going to happen anymore.
