The NFL will conduct a “fully virtual” draft

Via Tom Pelissero: Commissioner Roger Goodell stated today that the NFL will no longer be hosting their 2020 draft in Las Vegas but it will moving to a fully virtual format due to current circumstances. It was only a matter of time before this was announced since the draft was set to take place April 23rd-25th. I know many people may not agree with this move because it simply won’t have the same feel but it is the right move. Putting players, coaches and fans lives at risk for a few hours of fun is simply not worth it. I personally was looking forward to players being brought out on small boats to the stage but we’ll just have to wait another year. If the 2020 NFL season starts as scheduled, this will be such small blimp on the radar when we look back. What are your thoughts?
