Roger Goodell to reportedly announce first-round NFL Draft picks from his basement
By SDS Staff

Months ago we learned that the NFL had planned for an elaborate 2020 draft setup, including a floating stage in front of the Bellagio casino and hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, however, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will now be announcing first-round picks from a different setting: his basement.
Longtime NFL insider Peter King shared the nugget Sunday in a tweet previewing his upcoming column.
FMIA filed in full to ace ed @dombonvissuto … Draft nuggets, an NFL galley I had a lot of fun compiling, plus the usual nonsense.
Happy Easter everyone!

One other thing: Roger Goodell will (as suspected) announce first-round picks standing in his basement in Bronxville, N.Y.— Peter King (@peter_king) April 12, 2020
NFL fans are humorously concerned about what the basement setup means for one of the draft’s greatest traditions: Goodell getting booed.

Hopefully his wife is there so someone can boo him.

If Goodell doesn’t have a “boo” track to play, and loud, as he starts the draft it will be a missed opportunity.
