It’s NFL Draft day. It’s a bit of a surreal day this year. In a world without sports, it feels both exciting and also strange to have some semblance of normalcy today. The draft is moving forward as scheduled, which is more than can be said for just about everything else. But it’s also being run virtually, meaning there is no green room. There will be no draft picks walking across the stage to shake the commissioner’s hand. It will be a strange event in what are now truly strange times.
One thing that will be like it has become normal to be, is the guarantee of several Iowa Hawkeyes who will have their names called both tonight and throughout the draft.
