PIZ Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I’m reading multiple tweets that say the issues with the virtual draft are overblown. Seems there were some early hiccups, but they worked through them. They will figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The whole "bandwidth" issue isn't hard........buy a faster package from your Internet provider, and also stop relying on your old modem and wireless router that you've forgotten about to keep up the pace. I made sure I bought the top package (work from home already) when I moved into my place in 2018, with a strong new Wifi router and my own cable modem. I can be streaming video on the laptop, TV, my phone, and both kids's computers all at the same time; no issue. I go try to work from my ex's house where she's about 3 levels below my service speed, and they still have a pretty old wireless router that I installed 12 years ago in the prior house, and it barely works for my phone calls (not even streaming video) via laptop. Speed, and hardware, can easily be upgraded these days. Do it, NFL peeps! 8 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Hopefully everyone erased their browser history. Could get embarrassing.

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Going to be a bunch of Richards and racist language all over that draft! man, I totally get the Diggs trade but I would love to have a 1st!!! I’m so excited for something sports related! I even watched 5 minutes of the WNBA draft.

I mean, our group does it in a Google hangout. So there's video of the GMs, which the league will likely have access to. Commentary from the desk will likely be the same as normal, maybe with a slight delay if they are virtual. And instead of showing them walking up and getting their hat they're going to use a, probably extended, highlight reel of the player. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the players have camera setups at home for reaction shots too. It's really not going to be very different imo.

MAJBobby Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Also this was interesting from Beane a week or so ago.. Recently speaking with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane supported a potential solution to this problem, proposed by Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert, where the traditional seven-round draft would be expanded to 10 rounds. Each year after the draft, teams suddenly become the ones pitching to prospects as those who don't get selected become free agents, getting to sign anywhere they prefer. With team facilities closed and front office members, coaches, and scouts only connected online or over the phone, this process becomes quite a challenge. "When you’re doing free agency like that after the seventh round, you’ve got everybody still in your draft room or at least down the hall,” Beane told Florio. “Now, trying to communicate because you only have so many dollars that you can allocate from a bonus and so lot of times you have several deals going. Once you agree to one, you’ve got to pull out of the others. If you’re chasing three tackles hoping to land one. If you’ve offered $15,000 to one and maybe you’re talking $12,000 to the other, but you don’t want them both. Once you get one in the boat, you’ve got to back out on the other. It’s a moving target. I think that will be an obstacle for all teams as we work through it remotely.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't really that complex. 100% right. If you cant figure out how to draft using a laptop you shouldnt be running a multi million dollar franchise. Also, maybe your wife doesn't vacuum near the cords? Unless she utterly hates you vacuuming can wait a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
