Draft may get pushed back (tug-o-war ensuing) (1 Viewer)

It's not really mainly about the Athletic testing from Pro Days or getting a 40 time, it's about getting tangible Medical clearance on players that still have concerns with Surgeries during the off-season... and also about players with not football related issues, they need in person sit downs to get a better picture on the mental aspect of a prospect.

Some teams have extremely strict policies regarding Medical, and Psychological clearances on prospects.

Some teams will not even have Tua on their Draft board if they don't get the physical MRI slides of his Hip joint looking healthy.

A guy like Linebacker, Willie Gay Jr. is another example.. he has 2nd round speed and talent.. but he punched a teammate in the face, and cheated on a Chemistry test... a GM needs more background information on what happened to prompt those decisions and if this is just an example of a kid making a bad mistake, or if he has legitimate character issues that will follow him into the league before they will even consider drafting him.


This is vital information that directly effects the decision making of building your team for the future and it cannot be obtained right now, and GMs have a legit case for getting the Draft pushed back a few weeks if it means they can obtain this info.

I don't see why that couldn't be done with a video call interview
 
This seems like it would affect us more than other teams. The brass has been great at hitting on our picks for several years. We need to have another good draft, with some immediate difference makers, like CGJ, to go all in on Drew's window. If they can't do their homework the way they want to and have had success, that could hurt if it leads to draft whiffs. If it were a rebuilding year or transitional time, I'd say start trading this year's picks for future ones to use when things are back to normal. Gonna make it harder to nail this draft and find immediate contributors.
 
From the news that i saw recently, the draft should be maintain at the original date but without a crowd off course.
