I wonder if draft time clock is going to be the same or they will make longer allotments to account for everyone being remote and that it may take a little longer to strategize.

FIFY: This draft is going to show who does their homework, scouting ahead of time and who is just wingin' it because they've a job due to nepotism...

Why? They were drafting under worse conditions a few decades ago. No computers or immediate contact. Chill, my friend. It might be the best to have the throw back type draft. Whatever happens in the draft happens, but in the scheme of things it isn't important at all. It's a good time to take my usual philosophy and sit back and take in whatever happens and thank God you and yours are healthy.

In one of his interviews Goodell mentioned basically the league will be managing the backbone and will make considerations when they know there's a technical problem...

Also, there will be a phone conference call when a team is on the clock - there will be redundancy...

Will there be some problems? Likely. But I'm sure they'll be rehearsals to create possible scenarios to address...

Oh I’m all for the throw back type of draft... It’s just the idea of nobody even being in the same room for every team sounds so problematic.

You know what I’m going to miss about the draft? Roger Goodell getting booed mercilessly when he walks out on stage. That’s always a great highlight to the show.
