Roger Goodell announced that this years draft will be virtual due to COVID-19. It was only a matter of time before this was gonna be announced. I love this move by the NFL. Yeah it sucks for the guys who would be attending the draft. I get that being able to actually attend the draft is a pretty cool experience, but if you look back at the past drafts more and more guys weren’t attending. I mean I don’t blame them. Why would you want to get all dressed up to find out you’re gonna be a bust in a shit-hole city like Cleveland or Cincinnati.
Now more than ever fantasy football owners are gonna feel like they could be NFL GM. That’s essentially what this year is. A glorified fantasy football draft. I’m sure we’re going to have some teams forget what time the draft is and have to be on auto-draft and demand a redraft or perhaps a GM who only drafts hometown hero. I would love to see the NFL bring the smack board into this. How wild would it be if we could actually see NFL GMs talk shit. You’d have to imagine this would be Joe Douglas or Kevin Colbert’s worst nightmare. Everyone just shitting on you for how lousy of a GM you are.
