Why would it kill anything?
It opens up options. Your 3rd rounders can still be placed in the TS.
You basically have two players to choose from for your practice squad the 3rd rounder or 4th rounder. If you think highly enough of your 4th rounder.... then you can make room for yoru 3rd on teh TS and keep your 4th rounder on PS.
Look at the talent people have stashed on their practice squads. Now imagine that talent if we opned up PS to 3rd rounders. It would be a much more viable tool in developing younger talent.
With all the compensation picks.... drafting in the 3rd round is like drafting in the 4th round. The talent is already gone by the 3rd round we are talking up 5th, 6th round NFL draft picks.
