Technical difficulties
Quick Reminder: This draft is being done virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic and necessary precautions to socially distance from one another. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta will be running the ship from his home office.
Yes, it’s 2020. And, yes, technology is better than it’s ever been.
But technology can be a blessing and a curse. And while the NFL has acknowledged extending clock time if technical difficulties arise, there are no guarantees. From glitches like failed internet connections, programming issues, or even external hackers and security problems, there are really unlimited ways the 2020 NFL Draft can get messed up in the moment.
With this being a completely unique draft with unique problems, there might not be an obvious fix in the moment. If something were to happen when the Ravens were on the board at No. 28, it would be a massive problem.
