The 2020 NFL draft will be handled in a unique way this year, as the entire thing will be handled remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Peter King of NBC Sports broke down the process that teams will undergo to make their selections:

"Each team's designated drafter will be connected to the league's official Microsoft Teams private and encrypted draft channel, and will make the pick through that channel. There are two fail-safes: A GM can call [NFL's vice president of player personnel Ken] Fiore or a member of his team directly by landline or cell with the pick.
