Dianni Russini: Coaches are paranoid about being hacked during virtual draft (1 Viewer)

There's only one coach and organization to worry about.

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

as well they should be

 

[St.Fury]

The Patriots need to be closely monitored.

Paranoid about hacking? Just wait til he sees the mysterious white van parked in front of his house on draft day.

I’m not sure how the real draft process is.
But you would think they use WiFi and monitors during the real draft as well lol

so couldn’t they still get hacked

Are they really going to do this over Zoom? Never in my mind what I see a billion dollar industry resort to this for a NFL 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.

Any team caught hacking should lose draft picks, pay fines, and have their HC suspended for a year and all their other coaches suspended for a number of games each.

I think they are worried about anyone hacking, not just other teams

Well, if someone hacked the draft and we came away with the 1st overall pick, then I guess we all know who did it! @Swimmer Love you Swimmer?

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.

This is a none story. There a plethora of logical contingency to combat "Hacker". Especially, if they aren't doing something stupid like using Yahoo fantasy draft website.

 

[BELOWSEALEVEL]

If it's not Loomis or coach P on camera making a verbal pick, then we haven't picked yet. I'm sure if the draft is hacked, it will stop and roll with the house party app. Lol

It will be Russia or the Patriots

Probably has more to do with the communication between coaches, scouts and GM being on the same page. Could really hurt the case for teams trying to trade up/down and having enough time to hear from several potential trade partners.
