2020 NFL Draft Can’t Possibly Go On As Planned, And Could Be Postponed

We will see what comes down the pipeline, but right now, it does not at all sound as though the NFL will be able to hold the 2020 NFL Draft as designed. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, just issued a recommendation in which all gatherings of 50 or more people would be suspended for at least the duration of the next two months. The draft is scheduled to take place roughly six weeks from now.

“CDC, in accordance with its guidance for large events and mass gatherings, recommends that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States”, it reads on the agency’s website.
