Crestron has performed a technological overhaul of the New York Giants draft room to ensure maximum efficiency regarding draft day.
The NFL Draft is an annual player selection event in which clubs submit their selections and trades to the league. With less than a week to go before this year’s draft, the New York Giants will now be more prepared than ever.
According to Crestron, the audiovisual systems manufacturer, the club’s draft room has gone “from magnets, printouts and manual updates to a tech-driven command centre,” with a range of new Crestron solutions added.
New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen described the upgrade to user experience as they are now able to access any information or video content they might need to determine their picks: “The speed of the system is of utmost importance — and the reliability of it on draft days is very important.
“With just the touch of the screen from the Crestron pad, we can select anything we need; we can program it in there to go on whatever screen we want.”
“If we want to see a player’s stats, their medical history, the draft board — it's just amazing how it works.
Schoen also explained how useful the technology will be outside of draft day too:
The efficiency of our meetings when we're leading up to draft day, what we can do, and how we could customise it to exactly our need — I would put this space up against any of the other 31 teams in the league."
“The look, the speed, the efficiency, the reliability, and the technology have made things simple for us.”

Crestron has now furnished the New York Giants draft room, press rooms, meeting rooms, and other areas with solutions, including the Crestron Control, Crestron Wall Mount Touch Screens, Crestron Tabletop Touch Screens, Crestron FlipTop Cable Management System, DM NVX AV-over-IP, Crestron X-Series Amplifiers, Saros Low-Profile Speakers, and Digital Graphics Engines.
