 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - If Titans coach Jeff Fisher had a vote, he'd favor trimming some time off the draft. Fisher, co-chair of the NFL's rules committee, won't be part of the NFL owners' talks Tuesday with commissioner Roger Goodell about shortening selection times in the first and second rounds of the league's draft. But he has been part of discussions with Goodell about picking up the pace on draft day.
"I think we could arrive at a good number of minutes whether it be 10 for the first round or seven for the second. I think it would work. I would be willing to give it a shot," Fisher said Monday.
The topic of trimming the current 15 minutes for a first-round selection and 10 during the second came up only days after the NFL endured its longest first round ever last month — 6 hours, 8 minutes.
