Yeah, I have to imagine that's how they'll do it. Keep it as strictly a tech test as possible. Bummer. I got excited at the idea as I was first waking up and my brain hadn't quite turned on, yet. NYG has to be in the running for first team to screw it up. Or, at least, to make a pick so off the beaten path that people suspect they screwed something up. I would think that Jerry's team will try to handle the communication for him. But I'm excited at the prospect of him having the red phone and no one else in the same room able to try and stop him. Bill O'Brien is new to this and has already screwed up enough this offseason. He's gotta have decent odds. Oakland's communication would be fun to listen in on. Ryan Pace is going to screw up the picks, but not because of technology. Gonna be fun, that's for damn sure. I would pay good money to be able to listen in on teams' communications, even if after the pick.
Got to be the Packers, no, the Bears, hell I hate em both, lol. Seriously, team 1, the Bengals... that's my pick. ________ _______________ I guess if there is problems we might see a mock or two more till they get the kinks worked out. Im guessing the computer hackers are ready and waiting in the wings.
lol I imagine the standard NFL draft rules apply. Don't get your pick in on time and the next team can jump in and make their pick.
Hey now -- Gettleman hired 4 computer guys this year! Literally that's what he called the supposed analytics team -- computer guys. In all reality he could very easily just fat finger the pick into something completely off the wall and about 50% of Giants fans would be talking about how great a pick it was with Gettleman declaring that it took only a handful of snaps of film to feel confident this, *checks notes,* long snapper is going to revolutionize football and is totally worth pick #4 overall. Honestly though most of football front offices are from a demographic that, generally speaking, needs to be explained how to use Google. Someone is going to forget to mute the zoom while taking an interview at minimum...
Honestly if the NFL isn't seriously concerned about someone hacking into this thing they must be crazy. I have to imagine a few teams are currently trying to find an "independent contractor" with the necessary skills as we speak.
The Bengals trade the overall number one pick to the Steelers for a conditional 7th rd pick next season
This ^^^^^ from a guy who gets high or drunk (or both) and peppers the entire L4SN forums with song lyrics at 2 O'clock in the morning.
I’m 3 hours behind you. I’m sleeping at 2 dude. Your just jealous because you can’t get drunk anymore
Oh mama I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the law that’s for all my friends that are Browns fans
Also Lyman, I’m kinda screwed where I’m at right now. We were in the process of moving and I got stuck at the house with no internet and my phone only has 25 gigs of data per month. Usually don’t come close to using it up. But with just the phone for outside contact with the world and a DVD player with a boatload of classic rock CDs, I got the music in me . It’s alright now.
