NFL does need a minor league IMO in part due to players going from college to pro going from like 200+ teams to 32. Leaves a lot of talent out there. And while yeah the NFL does have the best there is, what about the guys who just need some time. College leaves players with 4 years tops, and that's IF you start as a freshman.
Having a farm system allows guys a better chance to develop. Practice squads are pretty shit, at least with a minor league you get the chance to see what a guy really has in game situations instead of practice, without having to try to fit him in onto your 53 man roster AND try to get him on the field during gameday. SHit would work wonders for rookie QBs like Tebow or Bradford, actually allowing them to play instead of just practice and a couple preaseason games per year.
And wtf? Yeah, MLB not only has a draft, but isn't at leats one of them like 1000 rounds long? Don't understand how hockey, baseball and basketball can have drafts, college teams and minor/developmental leagues, but it's just not right for the NFL
