The first virtual, fully-online NFL Draft starts tonight, which has given us an opportunity to take a glimpse inside the brain trusts leading teams to see how everyone is setting up for the occasion. It’s a rare, beautiful opportunity to see what happens when some of the least technologically-advanced people in sports (football coaches) are forced to cobble together workstations to adapt to one of the highest pressure weeks on their calendar.
Rating the NFL Draft at-home war rooms from comfy to dumpy
Oh, Dave Gettleman ...
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Let’s appreciate every home office we’ve seen so far, and rate them!
This set up all makes sense, but it feels a little claustrophobic.
Needs more elbow room. 5/10.
That’s a lot of stuff daisy-chained together off a USB hub.
Lacks a big screen. 4/10.
I don’t understand running multiple computers vs. one huge rig.
Too vertical, bad use of space. 5/10.
This looks quite comfortable. Not much desk clutter.
I’d sit here. 7/10.
Excellent seating. Addition of snack bar is a welcome touch.
Shame it’s just a folding table covered with a cloth. 8/10.
Chairs need improvement. Otherwise fine.
Good moose bumps the score. 7/10.
I can’t get a good look at this, but it seems fine.
Slightly concerned Sean McVay has the launch codes. 6/10.
Stitching six monitors together so it looks like the TV section of a Circuit City in 2003 is unnecessary. Could have just as easily been a single giant panel.
Nostalgic, but not in a good way. 4/10.
Simply classy setup. No gripes.
Appreciate the symmetry. 9/10.
Dave Gettleman is sitting on a dining room chair. Has one laptop he seems confused trying to use. A whole bunch of loose paper and it appears he doesn’t even own a mouse pad.
God help the Giants. 0/10.
This is a professionally organized workstation. Everything has a place. Everything makes sense.
I’m jealous. 10/10.
The ultra wide curved monitors are an unnecessary flex.
Tries too hard. 5/10.
Washington
This workstation is fine. The video for it is so bad it’s incredible. Ron Rivera is not a natural actor and pretending to actually be talking about draft picks during this is the best.
4/10 workstation. 10/10 video.
And finally ...
An extremely chill, totally natural-looking human.
0/10.
