NFP is released at 8:30am ET on Fri, but you are unable to read the CFTC COT report of that Tue in the week until 3:00pm ET on Fri. I don't know how you can speculate the market positioning before NFP release.

Well, you may use the report for the previous Tue, which means there is 7~8 trading days between this report and NFP. The positioning in the 7~8 trading days can change dramatically without you knowing it. So upon the NFP case, I think you are only able to get a very "rough" picture of the market which can hardly be traded with.
