NFL Draft Expected To Go On As Scheduled
5 years agoThe NFL Management Council Executive Committee met on Thursday, and it "was unanimous and unequivocal that the draft should go forward as scheduled on April 23-25, 2020," commissioner Roger Goodell told teams in a memo. The draft won't be held in Las Vegas, but will be done virtually for viewers with cut-ins to team officials and drafted players at their homes. Many NFL teams are pushing for a delay because they haven't had the luxury of meeting with prospects in person without interviews and Pro Days, but it's looking like the draft will go on next month. It will be a completely different experience for fans watching, but those desperately waiting for some kind of sporting event amid the coronavirus pandemic have something to look forward to at the end of April.
