Best defender available

LB/CB/S/DL - We need all of them. Our defense is paper-thin and we could use depth everyone. We need starters at LB, slot corner, maybe Safety.

So it’s basically like every conference call in an office? Some dipshit puts the conference call on hold and you get to hear their music.

How fucking hard is it to set up a conference call and then mute every team until they’re ready to make the pick? JFC.

It's really striking how many dumbasses don't know how to use technology.

EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.

How are there people that don’t know what the mute button is?

Ehh color me skeptical that whatever issues they had were that serious.

I knew whoever was bitching back when this was announced would be bitching throughout the process and long after the draft.

Want to make it super simple?

32 conference calls. One for each team with an NFL staff member for each team. Then you don’t have to worry about talking during other picks and the NFL can go to your conference call while you’re on the clock.

I know right, but most of these GM's are old fuckers, Dave Gettleman could probably be heard shuffling papers every 3 seconds.

I honestly picture some of these guys having to have their kids come in and show them how to use things.

The NFL, a $10 billion/year business with the likes of Microsoft and Verizon as its title sponsors should be able to figure out this remote/virtual event thing.

They're to busy trying to use zoom which baffles me.
[Reply]

Using zoom sounds like a great way to have hackers wreck the entire draft

I've made this joke, lots of people are gonna have fun explaining to the children what those naked people are doing on screen.

I can conference call on Zoom while my wife remote teaches, 1 kid plays Overwatch with his headset on and the other watches YouTube. But NFL GMs lack the bandwidth to say names to each other.

The NFL should have rented an entire Hotel, in whatever town is best. Hotel security only allows NFL and Hotel people in so you don't have to worry about crowds.

Then you give each team a few rooms that connect together. They all have phone numbers for every other team with their room number for trades. The team can spread out but still talk to each other in the rooms.

The main NFL draft will be in the Auditorium section. You can call the pick in or if something goes wrong you can run someone down with a card.

Private jets for everyone.

The draft would be almost the same that way but still safe.

If you wanted you could even have the 1st round picks sitting in the auditorium empty seats since there isn't a normal crowd. They can come up and pick up their jersey, they just have to skip the hug for Goodell. :-)

A HC who participated in today's NFL mock draft told @diannaESPN that his internet went down during the draft. How? Apparently his kids were on their iPads using up all the bandwidth.

Easy call. Advertise that you are willing to trade. Scare the Fins. Fins give you something (2nd or 3rd) to move up two spots to take their QB. You still get your guy given that the G Men will go OL.

If the Fins play hard ball consider a trade for 2nd from Chargers and the 6th pick. Some risk you do not get your guy but well worth the price.
