The 2020 NFL Draft will be completely virtual this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and NFL teams are scrambling to get accustomed to the remote aspects of it, including the technology.

Seahawks general manager John Schneider told NFL Network’s Omar Ruiz Tuesday during the pre-draft press conference that he “ripped up some walls” in his house attempting to get the necessary technology for teams to use for the draft functioning.

The NFL conducted a mock draft on Monday that featured a few technical issues, prompting complaints from teams. Schneider is trying to stay ahead of the curve and prepare before the big event, so he consulted experts to help him set up his required equipment while following the social distancing procedures.

It is safe to say that Schneider does not wish to be left behind in this year’s draft and 12s are hoping the draft results will indicate just that.
