How wild is the UDFA market going to be?

With no visits and team staff not in the same room how insane is the UDFA "season" going to be?

Miami has had some success in that area and I will be curious to see how active they are. They have tons of draft picks so they may not feel the need for a large UDFA contingent.

Great point. That will be really interesting. I would think Miami might sign fewer than it has in previous years, though, based on having 14 draft picks.

It will be a real test of teams scouting departments and recruiting skills.

There are going to be books written about the Covid time period in Sports and all walks of life.

There is an old toast/curse: "May you live in interesting times".

Welcome to interesting times.

I see a few people on this list that I had in the 4th/5th round on a few of my mocks:

DeeJay Dallas
Joshua Kelley
Damon Arnette
Myles Dorn
Bryce Huff

Welcome to interesting times.

I think about that all the time. This short stretch of history will occupy entire lifespans. Some writers will become so fascinated by how some of this stuff happened and was allowed to happen that they'll devote their entire careers to it. Likewise with college classes and documentaries, etc.

I imagine a century or so from now lots of people will be worn out by so much spotlight on a handful of olden years beginning in 2015 or 2016 or thereabouts.

There will be scores of grad school theses written on this time period in all areas imaginable.

The effects are literally everywhere, from the Economy, to Sports to the insane fact that the globe is less polluted because industry has waned.

There will be post apocalyptic movies and books that start from this pandemic and then play it out in various fictional directions.

I can only imagine what would be happening if this virus was even more deadly.
