Roger Goodell and the NFL Enter New Draft Territory

The NFL Draft is here. The “Annual Selection Meeting” which out pulls other live sporting events for television viewership. But with the global pandemic known as COVID-19, this is new territory for Goodell. For the first time, the draft will be held out of the commissioner’s home in New York.

It almost has a fantasy football draft feel to it.

No one knows what to expect. If there will be technical issues. If there will be far more surprises due to NFL teams could not personally meet or work out their most coveted prospects.

As we started last year, we will make our projections and see how things unfold tonight.
