Technical Issues

This year’s draft is going to be very unique considering the fact that all NFL personnel will be working remotely due to global pandemic. This creates a different set of challenges that NFL teams will need to navigate through on Thursday night.

On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that during the NFL’s test run that there was technical glitches right from the start with the first pick that resulted in a delay of two and a half minutes.

Luckily for the Buffalo Bills they will be able to see how the rest of the NFL handles these new hurdles and not be impacted. One thing this could impact, and this could directly affect the Bills, is if there is fewer trades during the first round. The Buffalo Bills under Brandon Beane have not been afraid to wheel and deal but does this new format hinder making deals.
