    A few days ago, I read a tweet about this. I have no idea where it was/who said it. Regardless, it was something akin to this:

    A 60-year-old kindergarten teachers in BFE can log on and conduct a remote lesson... with a classroom of five-year-olds. Yet, a billion dollar industry cannot figure this out. SMFH

    Part of me thinks that the teams complaining just don't want the draft as scheduled and want the draft pushed back for a period of time after these restrictions are lifted so they can do personal meetings and attend personal workouts and these complaints are efforts to try and convince ginger hammer to push it back. I know technology isn't perfect but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to set it up and it looks like there are fail safes set up. Seriously, stop complaining, due the best with the current conditions you have, don't be idiots in your draft war rooms, and let the fans have this degree of normalcy in the sports world. Crybabies

    Good for Roger for “taking the power back”. Since no one will ever cheer for him, embrace the “boos” as if you actually want that to happen. Smart move.

    This is how this draft is gonna play out

    NFL team personnel makes a stupid and easily avoidable mistake that causes some sort of hiccup.

    Everyone starts complaining that "IT'S NOT FEASABLE TO CONDUCT A DRAFT LIKE THIS!"

    Btw, it would be interesting to see if they used real players as part of the mock draft or dummy names for the mock draft (the latter if they were smart)

    Re: NFL going virtual for upcoming draft

    I heard Pat Kirwan, on NFL Radio, today say that it takes a lot of courage for the owners to do the draft like this. May be the dumbest comment I’ve heard in a long time. Courage is the nurse that is dealing with a COVID patient from beginning to end. Making a draft pick in an isolated room with shoddy internet...not courage...

    Nothing like sports team owners and pundits for having their fingers on the pulse of the average Joe.

    Is it now a 'good thing' the Steelers don't have a 1st round pick? Let the other teams deal with and work out the 1st round virtual hiccups?

    This is the good year to not have a first round pick.And even in a normal situation it was a great trade by the steelers.
