What the fuck, NFL?

Why on earth are you having the NFL draft broken up over three days, in random little chunks? The first round is Thursday night, then a couple rounds Friday, and then the scrub picks on Saturday? Seriously?? WTF! For the past I-don't-know-how-many-years, I have sat on the couch all weekend and watched the draft. The reality show/human drama is totally compelling, and some years I even get to see my Vikings not fuck everything up and draft somebody awesome (from recent memory - 2009, Percy Harvin (who I totally still believe in); 2007, Adrian Peterson (w00t w00t w00t!); etc, etc).

But what the fuck is this? Do they think the ratings will be better on Primetime Thursday, competing with regular television, playoff hockey and playoff basketball?
