With the NFL Draft to be staged on remote locations, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has a specific place in mind where he plans to do the draft: his own home.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the country, the majority of sporting leagues have had to postpone, cancel or alter events and seasons altogether. The NFL has been no different. Originally set to take place in Los Vegas from April 23-25, the event will now be via remote locations across the country.
Now, on the Jon Roa Show (via The Rams Wire), McVay mentioned that he may invite some of the Rams' front office members to his house during the draft to recreate a normal draft war room.
“We’ve had some calls with the league, and as of right now, what we do know is we are going to have a draft. Exactly what the circumstances are – No. 1, you’re going to follow the protocol by our government and try to do everything we can to try to make sure [we’re] part of the solution,” the Rams coach shared.
“It might be virtual, it might be a limitation on the amount of people you can have at your facility and you might even see – shoot, we might be doing it out of this damn house. We’ve got some availability and some setups, might have a couple of our other people in the front office come over to the house and we’ll be selecting players from here. We’re kind of honestly navigating through where that will take place and exactly what it looks like over the next couple of weeks.”
Sean McVay and the Rams currently have no first-round picks in April's draft after trading it to acquire cornerback Jalen Ramsey. However, they have six other picks starting with No. 52 overall in the second round.
