Coach Tuesday Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Change the title - it won’t have a public audience but it will still be aired to the public! Big distinction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Ummm not quire accurate title The NFL has cancelled its public events surrounding the draft in Las Vegas, but still plans to hold it (and televise it) April 23-25, as scheduled. @MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Understandable. I was really looking forward to going to Las Vegas for this. Will the NFL attempt to have the draft in Las Vegas next year, and move Cleveland to 2022? Edited March 16, 2020 by Mark Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a recommendation, also I believe they said it doesn’t apply to normal business situations etc. The draft is normal NFL business. They’ll have plenty of room to “ socially distance “ themselves.

I had read rumors that it may be postponed until May or June. It’ll be interesting to see how everything is set up, from draft parties to the war room (as mentioned above) etc. I wonder if it will all be modified? I feel like It still could get postponed though. Edited March 16, 2020 by BillsFan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a sensible compromise. You don’t need a live audience for the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, But for example two teammates of the Utah Jazz contracted the Virus spread it to another team. These scouts and FOs have been everywhere over the last two months. Just because you know them, doesn't mean they are safe from it. I'm all for the NFL continuing for my sports fix, but I also 100% understand why they would delay everything.

babulator Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm good with this. Besides I attend the draft every year from the comfort of my couch A delay would stretch out my draft anxiety unnecessarily lol. Also, I'm probably the only one that does not care for the rabid Goodell booing every year. It was funny for a year or two, now it's old and just bad optics imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Fantastic news. Couldn't care less about the live event, so happy the NFL isn't postponing anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 No bid deal on way or the other. The bigger issue will be dealing with summer training camps and what not. This thing will only be a lot bigger by then. I'd be surprised if it doesn't impact training camps, the pre-season, and even the regular season. But that's still too far away right now.

I really don’t think there’s anything during the draft that can’t be accomplished via phone/video conference, including consulting with all your staff in the war room. Maybe they could give everyone an extra five minutes on the clock or something to allow for the lack of in-person communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and NFLPA had budget issues and wants to spend the money elsewhere rather than paying booers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
