NFL to Set a Common Draft Format
Honolulu AP by JACK HAND reports the NFL planned to announce the first common draft format date and structure after a lengthy meeting. Rozelle said internal agreement neared, with possible AFL inspired changes like separate senior and redshirt drafts and potential retroactive impacts for teams with many first round picks. The Packers and Lombardi oppose dual drafts, while Chicago Bears owner Halas is reportedly frustrated. A formal ballot requires four negative votes to defeat the two-draft plan, with a mid March draft in New York likely and no immediate action anticipated.
