For the first time in history, the draft NFL It was carried out virtually, with Commissioner Roger Goodell at his home, as well as with the players, accompanied by few family members at home.
Instead of the commissioner’s hugs, the players were comforted only by their families. But even so, the first round of recruiting sessions provided us with good times.
Let’s see some below:
Virtual boos
It is common at the start of each Draft for fans present at the venue to “greet” Commissioner Roger Goodell with jeers.
Anyone who thinks that just because he was home did not come is wrong.

In a comical moment, Goodell himself made room for the booing, shown virtually by fans across the United States on his television screen.
Goodell Gaffe
His Tagovailoa is one of the greatest promises in the NFL and he was almost certain to be one of the top five picks. Roger Goodell had months to prepare for the pronunciation of the quarterback’s last name, selected by Miami dolphins.
But it was not enough. Goodell provided a real tongue twister by pronouncing the QB name.
Relief of Paulo Antunes
With a correct name or not, Paulo Antunes felt some relief when he saw Tua Tagovailoa being called by the Miami Dolphins.
Agglomerations?
I have at least 12 people at the Tua surveillance party. It looks like another red flag to me. Don’t be surprised if teams decide to pass it pic.twitter.com/kWw7to1Z2o

Since the players were at home with their families, they all ended up being close to their loved ones. However, Tagovailoa may have exaggerated with a few more people, which in theory is not recommended in times of coronavirus.
Did you lack ‘attitude’?

In drafts it is always common to see teams make even unexpected changes to advance in order in the first round. However, that expectation was slow to appear in the 2020 edition.
Only in the thirteenth election, with the San Francisco 49ers changing places with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we had a negotiation the night of the Draft.
It was the second-largest “wait” in history for a Draft first-round trade, just behind 2015.
Social distance
Bill Belichick showed that he was following social distancing orders well. The New England Patriots coach was filmed at home until the Patriots were selected with no one nearby.

A second chance
Draft 2020 was scheduled to take place in Las Vegas. As the coronavirus pandemic did not allow it, Commissioner Roger Goodell announced during the official broadcast that the event in 2021 will be at the Raiders’ new stadium in Las Vegas.
Ostentation

In quarantine times, Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowbys’ billionaire owner, used his $ 250 million yacht, about R $ 1.3 billion, to accompany the Draft from a distance.
Aaron Rodgers replacement?
Like they did with Aaron Rodgers in 2005, picking him out in the first round while Brett Favre was still a few years in the league, the Green Bay Packers picked Jordan Love, QB of Utah state, who should now stand out as the future of the franchise.
