Rival Teams Complaining About Cowboys Virtual NFL Draft 'Advantage' Are Pathetic
By Will Coleman
The 2020 NFL Draft won't be anything like what we're used to. The draft has gone fully digital, and team coaches and executives will gather in virtual war rooms to figure out their selections this year.
Front offices around the league have argued that doing the draft through video chat isn't secure enough and they're practically inviting hackers to hijack team meetings, but others are suggesting that teams like the Dallas Cowboys have an unfair advantage over the rest of the NFL for a really stupid reason.
Some franchises had planned for certain team personnel to meet up for the virtual draft, but those ideas have been scrapped after league officials clarified that they'll have to select players from their own homes. For the Cowboys, however, owner and GM Jerry Jones will have the benefit of being with his son Stephen, the team's Director of Player Personnel.

Of all the things for coaches and executives to be concerned about, should it really be the Jones family being under the same roof? Absolutely not.
Instead of worrying about the Jones family conspiring to hijack their digital war room, other teams around the league should focus on their strategy in case any last-second technical issues arise during the 2020 Draft.
