In fairness to his stance, it would be stressful to have a job where you're reviled because you do such bad work. The draft should be the most fun part of his job, and he rightfully gets booed every time he steps onto the stage.

The booing is bad optics for the NFL. A legacy of having it in NY all those years. Funny initially, but now just bad PR.
Best case scenario for the NFL: Put the commissioner behind the scenes on draft day. Take a cue from the Hollywood awards shows: hire celebrities (including ex-players/coaches) to carry the water on stage. America loves celebrities, right? Would imagine there are many celebrities wanting the exposure. Lots of NFL fans in the entertainment business. Keep the analysts, they have their place between picks. The actual on-stage format could be done in any number of ways. Main thing is to get someone up there that is actually liked and won't be booed. Just DO NOT hire the Weinstein Company to produce it.
