As has been reported by numerous media outlets, Kevin Colbert, the Steelers GM, proposed adding three more rounds to the upcoming 2020 NFL draft during a recent conference call with league officials. Here is an expert from said conference call:
During a conference call, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert, one of the NFL’s longest-tenured general managers, told league officials that teams should be awarded three extra draft picks due to the “inherent challenges posed by the coronavirus restrictions,” according to the New York Daily News. Colbert suggested the idea because he feels that teams will be more prone to making mistakes without the additional time to evaluate this year’s prospects.
