The NFL is considering improving draft picks for teams that hire minority candidates as head coaches or general managers, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Under the proposal, aimed at fixing diversity problems leaguewide, a team could improve its third-round draft selection by up to 16 picks -- going up 10 spots for hiring a minority candidate as general manager or an equivalent-level position and six spots for hiring a minority head coach.
NFL.com first reported on the proposal, which was submitted by the league's diversity committee and is expected to be addressed during Tuesday's virtual meeting with team owners, a league source confirmed. The proposal would need 24 of 32 votes in favor to pass.
Under this plan, a team could move up five spots in the fourth round if a minority head coach or general manager successfully entered the third year on the job, according to the report. Retaining a minority quarterbacks coach after one year would net a fourth-round compensatory pick, a nod to the importance of quarterback expertise to the head-coaching pipeline, according to the report.

you know, i truly,do not care
the nfl can go phruck itself to death in a corner
they’re doing it now already
they’ve been dead to me for decades
And if you are against it, you be an eeeevil ray-ciss.
It’s almost as if they want people to stop watching. Or they believe they are invincible and don’t really care. Plenty of Americans who are to the right of Rush Limbaugh (including Limbaugh) will still tune in every week.
Yep.
Hmmm....then they wouldn’t get to move up. If everyone moved up 6 slots, everyone keeps their place.
As Gilbert and Sullivan said, “When everyone is somebody, then no one’s anybody.”
Getting the whole team to take a knee before every play? I would think that would be worth improving the teams first-round draft selection by 10 picks!
And yet many white idiots will still watch. Fools supporting the left.
They gave Shannon Sharpe a speaking job.
There is truly no bottom...
And if it doesn’t work, will they move the draft pick up to the second round or first? Or maybe it can go the other way. Teams with no minority front office people start losing picks ... or salary cap space. What do you get if you hire Elizabeth Warren?
when are they going give draft points for hiring white players?....
Minority selections?...oh hell I thought they were talking about selecting non blacks.....
OK, as long as they later move down in the draft each year the affirmative action coach has a losing record. It’s only fair.
Just give the championship trophies to the most diverse teams right now.
That would save time.
I say that I finally get to publicly affirm that football is a stupid sport anyway.
Run two feet, fall down, repeat.
I’d rather watch a sport that involves talent.

We live in Onionland. A league that’s almost all black needs to get rid of the few remaining whites so they can be more diverse.
And whites just keep knuckling down.
Geez one can’t find many Caucasian men in the nfl anyway - why is this headline a deal.
Haven’t watched any NFL game over the past couple of years, this will only reinforce that decision.
I stopped two years ago after being a huge fan for most of my long life. The league sucks.
