The NFL announced today that the length of time to make a pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft will be shortened from ten minutes to eight minutes. That will make the first round move more quickly than it has in the past, which is a good thing. It has always made me crazy when the teams picking at the top take the whole ten minutes to make their selection when it is obvious who they are going to pick.
This will cut down the time teams will have to negotiate trades in the first round of the draft. That could come into play for the Tennessee Titans. If they do end up with the first pick, they will have a trade negotiated long before the draft ever comes. If they end up somewhere in the three to five range, they currently have the third pick; they could be negotiating a deal when they go on the clock.
The 2026 NFL Draft will take place April 23rd through 25th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
