The NFL should adopt a hybrid draft format where the first round is live but later rounds are remote

If they can do a blend if they could do a hybrid it would be perfect. I would want the first round live with people in the draftees in the spot... but I agree with you like if we could do rounds 4 through 7 where everyone is remote and you can see into the room like living rooms of all the coaches and GM's that was fascinating.

The NFL has essentially moved in this direction, keeping the big stage for Round 1 but utilizing remote elements and varied locations for Day 2 and 3 picks.

Mike Vrabel won the night for best NFL Draft home setup.

Mike Vrabel clearly won the night in his room. He had a guy that looked like a mix between the Waterboy Adam Sandler and Joe Dirt. The other was taking a shit. I believe he's sitting on a Barstool intentionally looking like he's making sure in my professional opinion.

This was a widely agreed-upon sentiment on social media during the draft night.

Tomato juice only tastes good when you are on a flight.

Tomato juice is so gross to pick and anyone who says 'oh, it's not that bad' they're just lying because they like it with vodka... I've noticed that people only drink tomato juice on flights... Tomato juice tastes better on an airplane.

Scientific studies by Lufthansa and others have confirmed that dry cabin air and low pressure reduce sensitivity to sweet and salty, but leave umami (found in tomatoes) relatively intact, making it taste better by comparison.

The Bills traded the 22nd pick for Stefon Diggs because he is a proven veteran

We traded it for Diggs who we just we thought at the end of the day that what we could get at 22 wasn't going to be the player that Diggs is... Especially in light of what's going on around our country. We don't even know what kind of offseason we're going to have. So to be able to get a veteran versus School in a rookie up.
