Yeah absolutely. Because of the lockout, agents' phones didn't start ringing off the hook right after the last pick of the last round. So this extra time gives agents time to really research each team's draft picks, their needs, etc etc. And of course, on the flip side of that, FO's have more time to go over who wasn't picked, however I'm sure FO's have very extensive big boards and player bios lined up and researched prior to the draft. Although if they're really interested in a guy who wasn't picked, now they have more time to dig.
Anyway, it was a great read.
