Let the teams conduct business via the app - and have the app generate an automatic feed of picks as they get made. So the media can do their thing and all say the same 2 stories about the prospects. The fact that they're conducting it like a conference call is absurd. I swear to all things chocolatey and sweet, the more power and money involved, the less inventive, entrepreneurial and problem-oriented the solutions become. Hell, just look at all the draft websites that have mock simulators, it can’t be that hard...Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King P Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Wait a minute... How are these mock drafts being conducted. Sure not like in fantasy drafts where everyone sees who you picked, because wouldn't that tip team's hands? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a cbs report I was reading that said many GM’s were against holding the draft as planned, and that the hiccups today are increasing pushback. One GM labeled it as “brutal” and that there’s only 2 days to figure it out. Pressure is on it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most years GM's get too much time and overthink things. This will only serve as a benefit for those kinds of GM's, whether they agree with that or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Apparently Joe Douglas and Adam Gase were on mute, locked in on their pick as the #11 slot approached in the test draft. Hidden behind a firewall with a secure internet connection and logged into the NFL Draft they lined up their selection. Gase said, "here we go....let's take that wide receiver!" Douglas smirked and said, "You know we're going Offensive Tackle when this thing is real on Thursday." Gase chuckled.... Siri laughed.... Belichick said, "We know" from a browser tab that mysteriously opened on its own. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody clicks the wrong button, takes the wrong player and starts bitchin' about a problem. "I meant to take Tom Brady! Not Tom Tupa! Who the hell would take Tom Tupa in Round 3???" You just know some knucklehead is going to click the wrong button and accidentally trade all his picks for a 2021 5th rounder. Probably Gettleman! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Macc was any good, because he was horrible. Just saying it's crazy how people here who are Jets fans continually mock Gettleman as if we are the model franchise in the NFL. The past two years, the Giants have had very good drafts. Many teams in the NFL would like to have had their drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many teams in the NFL would like to have had their drafts. It centers on 2 huge mistakes that will negatively impact the franchise for years to come: 1) Drafting a RB at # 2 overall (never, ever do that) and 2) passing on the 2018 QB's to take an inaccurate prospect in Daniel Jones. They should have traded down in 2018 if they really didn't like the QB's. Especially since they only ended up with 6 picks that year. Meanwhile he tossed away mid-round picks in the Leo deal. A rebuilding team should never give up precious mid-rounders for a DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 JetLife @JetsLife4 Joe Douglas on 98.7 FM radio said the draft simulation went well and there’s no security concern for when they take their pick. #Jets fans dont want an auto-draft of a DT.
