CriminalMind Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Whatever is selected by teams (whether empty convention centers, a man's basement, to 100% individual home offices) ... It defers liability and bad PR for the NFL, as they advised reasonable measures for this. No additional time needed per pick. You have a month to practice whatever virtual way you choose. The picks are called in via phone to someone at the end. And calling other teams for potential trade options are done via phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have a cop car or two patrolling and telling the morons to go back home. It doesn't matter to me but I don't see it as a deal Keeping them "out" is one thing. Keeping them from congregating in the parking lot in dangerous groups, is another thing altogether. Frankly, by the time the draft gets here...who knows how many cop cars they'll have to spare to just "patrol the parking lot of some NFL team facility" to keep idiot fans from assembling in big germ spreading groups for a tailgating extravaganza. If teams can keep things quiet, that's at least a couple cop cars to have dispatched to other more important duties, and also a handful of cops not potentially being exposed to a stupid drunken tailgating mob just so teams can house things in their normal facilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Why does Goodell care where the teams are working when they send in their picks? I don't see why they shouldn't be able to put up a big board in their own facilities and have a camera feed of their draft room. Shouldn't be that hard.

They should hold the draft from right here on Football's Future! Each GM would have to be hanging in his team's forum and then go into the NFL Draft Forum when it's his turn to make his pick! Of course, GMs should be willing to receive input from members here when making their decision as to who they pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that this goes on as normal though b/c we need something. Trying my best not to sound selfish right now They did a mock run through today with all teams. Apparently the only hiccup was right at the start (shockingly the bengals). Also, when they all joined at the start, nobody was muted so it was a mess. Hopefully it goes smoothly come Thursday. Looking forward to some team forgetting to mute themselves and tipping their hand! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Going to also be interesting to see if and how many times they screw up a live interview feed? Several FO Personnel have done interviews with NFLN, ESPN, ect showing draft day their sets up in the house, where the league camera is placed for adherence, same camera that will be used to talk with those individuals from each network. Problem is, everyone of them had big boards sets up in the background, multiple screens where you could clearly see who might be getting targeted next if paying attention? Things you'd never be privy to in normal draft. Wonder if they accidently screw that up once or twice ruining someone's draft board because others were also watching?
