NEW YORK - The new three-day schedule for the NFL draft has created uncertainty for the 32 teams.
Although the dilemma of trading up to grab an enticing prospect or moving down to add more selections always has existed, the revamped structure for the seven rounds adds another element to decision making: time.
Teams now will have 18 hours or more to contemplate second-round choices in what is considered the strongest draft crop in years - particularly in the second and third rounds.
So an order that so often gets shuffled in the first round, and likely will again Thursday, could see even more movement in Rounds 2 and 3 on Friday.
