Make? Decisions are made at team HQ anyway. The whole event is just for show. Do we really need to see a kid hugging his girlfriend and 22 3rd cousins on his way to the stage? Do we really need to see a kid sitting alone in the green room because he dropped out of the first round?
Let’s just watch the crawl at the bottom of the screen on ESPN or NFL network as the picks and trades happen. It will cut down on the draft parties.
Is the first 2 rounds on day one and allow teams to reset their boards and then do rounds 3-7 on the 2nd day. I think you will see more trades as teams target players entering that 3rd round and the following rounds.
They will keep it as is though to keep it the event that it has become
I would think every team will streamline who's in the room then have area scouts in one room and position coaches in another. I guess Gettleman, Judge, Garret, Graham, McGaughey, Pettit, Chris and John Mara are in the same room? Or do you just douse everyone and everything with bleach and do it in one big room.
As communicating among the team will be harder....communucating with other teams will be harder....and getting the draft picks in....will be harder.....doing it all remotely
the number of live bodies in one room. Video conferencing will be necessary for the war rooms AND between teams and the League. How many “analysts” NFL network and ESPN will have together will also be interesting.

Is this true? Under the current system, isn't almost all communication happening remotely, from war-room to war-room and war-room to NFL-headquarters? The only difference I can see is that it will be more difficult to have someone on "speaker-phone" if Team A calls Team B's virtual war room.
RE: Whatever.....but slowing it down seems to make more sense

How is it harder? You do know that the general managers and owners were never at the place the draft was actually held right? How do you think they communicated to other general managers before? There is nothing harder in regards to communicating with other teams or getting draft picks in. It would be the same as they have always done, they pick up the phone and make a phone call.
The hard part is you won't see the war rooms full of a lot of people and it will be harder as you get into later rounds as I think that is when general managers rely more on the scouting staff for input on players available.
There's absolutely nothing going on in the world of sports right now. Why would anyone want to be gluttonous about the only thing we have on the horizon that even remotely resembles a live sporting event?
All seven rounds in one day and then back to nothingness? Why would anyone be in a hurry to get back to boredom?
One round per day would be fine by me. Or rounds 1, 2, 3 on their own days, then round 4-5 on the 4th day and rounds 6-7 on the 5th day. Even keep it on the same 3-day schedule it's currently on. But not the whole draft in one day.
Savor the only sporting event we have. After the draft, we won't see sports again until mid-summer.

There is no sports of any kind and the NFL could rule for a week.
This is the way it should always be. It never should have changed.

Ooh I like that. Think of all the coverage you would get of the 7th rounders and FAs
