2020 NFL Draft: The NFL is off to a 'brutal' start with its virtual draft
By Dan Roche April 21, 2020 8:00 AM
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. As the NFL prepares for a very unique virtual 2020 Draft this week, the league conducted a dry run Monday afternoon with all 32 teams conducting a mock two-round rehearsal.
It’s no surprise there some kinks to be worked out, but according to one report, they began very early on.

I mean, it’s almost a given that Cincinnati will draft LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. Maybe they should email the commissioner their pick now, just to be safe.
The hilarity continued later Monday afternoon with this account of a conversation with one head coach involved in the league-run practice draft:

I was on the phone with a head coach talking about the mock draft today and he was losing his mind because his Internet went down...apparently his young children were all on their iPads using up the band width. “ everybody get off the Internet”-in loud dad voice.
I hung up.

HONEY! TELL THE KIDS TO COOL IT WITH THE TIKTOK!
DADDY’S ON THE CLOCK! PLEASE!
Could you imagine your franchise’s future in the balance, and time runs out on your pick in the 1st round of the draft, all because your kid won’t quit an epic Fortnite Battle Royale?
Oh man. I wonder if there’s a sports book in Las Vegas offering odds on the first NFL front office member to draft a player from their bathroom. Or which one will be guilty the most times of not muting themselves when they’re not on the clock. For the first time in my life, I’m prepared to bet heavily on Jerry Jones.
