No concerns about virtual draft

This will be an unprecedented draft in the fact that GMs and coaches won’t be in a war room together at the team’s facility. Instead, they’ll be stationed at their homes, working remotely throughout draft weekend.

There are some concerns about the functionality and stability of a virtual draft done over the internet and phone lines, but the Rams aren’t among the teams worried about how things will go.

“I do know this: have relied on some smart people and have not had a glitch at all and definitely am not anticipating any glitches,” Snead said.

Security is also something that’s been mentioned and emphasized, but McVay doesn’t think hacking will be an issue at all.

“I’m not too worried about that. If they’re worried about hacking us, these things never go exactly according to plan,” he said. “So, the board is a demonstration of where we have it, but it doesn’t always work out that way, which is why the planning and contingency planning is vital.”
