Dianni Russini: Coaches are paranoid about being hacked during virtual draft

Why does it even have to be virtual? We don’t even see some teams during a regular draft broadcast. Just use the damn phone and have Goodell then whoever to announce the picks. We don’t have to have player or fan announcers this year. I’m sure the networks will have reporters with every team.

Because... Goodell.

As for the hacking risk, I mean, what the actual...? Given the fact that every single football organisation at that level already makes extensive use of data and telecoms services in the transmission of sensitive information, how will this particular information be any more exposed to hacking than what they already save/send/share on a daily basis?

I hear information governance expertise is not all that hard to hire in today's market place. And if your favourite team doesn't already have someone on staff doing this, then they deserve what they get. Like that idiot photo of the Dallas draft board some years back.
