Just in case you forgot...

The NFL announced last year at their owners' meetings that the 2010 NFL Draft will take place over the course of three days this year.

The first round will take place on Thursday, April 22, beginning at 7:30 PM ET. The NFL is looking to take advantage of the fact that more people watch TV during the prime time hours on Thursday night than any other time.

The second and third rounds will begin at 6:30 PM ET on Friday, April 23. The final four round of the draft are now scheduled for Saturday, April 24, beginning at 10:00 AM ET.

The new format will likely result in a few more trades as teams will now have long breaks between rounds 1 and 2 and again between rounds 3 and 4. The NFL is clearly hoping to make the draft an even bigger TV event than it already is.
