Whats better than the NFL draft? Getting a glimpse of these war rooms – Tampa Bay Times

Its a fun night for the NFL, which is broadcasting the first virtual draft in its history.

The setup is quite extensive, with Verizon providing more than 100 phones and service for live video/communication, Bose providing more than 132 headphones and Amazon Warehouse Services managing more than 100 video streams, as well as the drafts Infrastructure, according to ESPN.

But more enjoyable is seeing the carpet Bengals coach Zac Taylor has in his home office, how many televisions Vikings general manager Rick Spielman is using or which recliner looks the comfiest in Joe Burrows home.

Here are some of our favorite war rooms, starting with the home front in Tampa Bay:

Taylors carpet looks like it was steam-cleaned or installed just before the draft.

Burrows place looks comfortable enough to take a snooze.

New Washington head coach Ron Rivera shows off his team pride.

If you ever need some bookshelves, coach John Harbaugh should have you covered.

Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury goes for more of a minimalist look.

If watching the draft on one TV isnt enough, you might want to visit Vikings GM Rick Spielman.

Even commissioner Roger Goodell made sure his basement is dressed up for the occasion.

Bucs coach Bruce Arians had every northerner jealous with his short-sleeve polo and khaki shorts.

Detroit GM Bob Quinns has IT waiting in a Winnebago outside his home in case something goes wrong.

Jerry Jones broke out with the crystal and social distancing efforts before making his pick for the Cowboys.

Alas, all have been trumped by this guy.
