The 2020 NFL Draft officially kicked off last night. This year we’re witnessing history for a number of reasons. First and foremost, everything is being done remotely. Aside from fans needing to boo over Zoom rather than in person, things went pretty seamlessly. We also got to see some compelling shots of NFL coaches and GMs in their homes of varying degrees of niceness.
There was of course, Cliff Kinsbury’s mansion that drips of “I just got paid a ton of money and needed to spend it all”:

Contrast that with Jery Jones, who has always had a ton of money and just casually set up shop in a **checks notes** $250M yacht that you couldn’t tell was a yacht:

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Bruce Arians’ setup is exactly as you would imagine it to be:

As for tonight, there are two rounds on deck. Tristan Wirfs was the first Hawkeye off the board last night. Tonight, there are likely to be multiple Hawkeyes selected. A.J. Epenesa is sure to have his name called, though later than his scouting report would have suggested. We could also see Michael Ojemudia, Geno Stone and Nate Stanley all have their names called in these middle rounds. You can see where we project them here.
