Seven consecutive nights of draft would be too relentless. People can't put their lives on hold seven nights in a row.

One night of NFL a week (maybe this should be Sunday instead of Thursday) however over 7 weeks is a far more manageable commitment that people can tune in for. It gives the draft time to breath. For those less in depth fans one night a week isn't too time consuming. For those draft geeks who like to pore over every last detail it gives them a week  to reflect on each round and prepare and strategize for the next.

In future years you may need to bring forward the draft a couple of weeks, but this year there will be no rookie camps in the weeks immediately following the draft. Why not spread it out over 7 weeks and have football news throughout April and May?

You cannot stretch a three day event out to nearly two months.  When the idea of seven nights came up, it was immediately shot down.  If seven nights is too long, seven weeks is impossible.  You're in June and still holding the draft?  Never.
