Good God how bloody idiotic:
NFL and NFLPA are on verge of pushing back draft to May and moving up start of league year to before combine, per sources.
NFL and NFLPA are close to enacting these calendar changes for the next three years.
Looks like 2014 NFL draft will be held May 15-17. In 2015 and 2016, league year would start early March, combine mid-March.
Tentative dates for NFL Draft in 2015 would be May 7-9 and in 2016 it would be May 5-7.
