  1. i would very much agree with this, and i think that all the rounds should be shorter, it would be alot nicer to not have to wait around so long

    unless teams are working on a trade 5-8 minutes is enough time

    They'd have to shorten it as well. 8 minutes per selection. That would mean it starts at 7 and runs until around 11:30.

    I think 12 mins....is enough time to talk and make trades 3 mins would actually make a big difference.

    3 x 32 = 96 mins off off round 1 at the least.
     
  7. Not all teams take the full 15 minutes as it is. If they did the 1st round would take 8 hours and 45 minutes. At 12 minutes per pick it could still take over 6 hours...

    thats a good point, shortening the time doesnt mean the 1st round would go any faster, teams now usually take about 6-12 minutes out of the 15, so with 12 minutes, more teams would just go to the final seconds, wouldnt really change anything.
     
  9. It would make a difference, my point is that you can't just expect that taking off X minutes per pick will save 32X minutes in the first round. We're talking about an hour less at best with a cut to 10 minutes.
