Watching ESPN talking about it. The clock will tic. All personnel at home, alone. Communication flow has to be simple, fast , to not , hopefully, drop. Pick your players and move along.

It will be interesting.
April 23-25.

So it's safe for the league to set up in Vegas and get all the people in there to film, studio analysts etc. Go and set up video links in their homes. But it's not safe for teams to do similar at their HQ. Surely just tell the teams, they can ha e a small team say 3/4 at the HQ the rest on the phone, they can hire a venue, have it deep cleaned, and keep distancing protocols going on but allow them there. Even tell them they have stay there and do it at a local hotel.

Surely would be easier

This draft is a great opportunity to analyze (after the fact) how well a team did in this throwback environment, examine what they were forced to do differently, and then determine what improved or hurt them.

I hope NO is more dependent on tape vs the "draft process"

Also, like it put the damper on more in person player interviews.
(I'm in HR and I am telling you, personal interviewing is dead last in successful selection tools. Instead, interview those who ALREADY KNOW the player.)

Love we must rely more on completed scouting vs the on-the-spot scouting many think they can suddenly complete during draft time.

One prediction I'll make re: the Covid-19 hindered NFL Draft:

We may not see that many trades because of restricted communication...
