Report: Steelers GM Kevin Colbert Proposed 2020 NFL Draft Include Three Extra Rounds

The 2020 NFL Draft will still go on as planned later this month despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and it apparently would include three more rounds than usual if a recent league proposal by Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert had been accepted.

According to Manish Mehta of The New York Daily News, Colbert told league officials on a recent conference call that teams should be awarded three extra draft picks given the pre-draft challenges caused by the coronavirus restrictions.

Mehta goes on to write that pro day cancellations and private workouts along with no annual team visits has thrown some organizations for a loop with the Steelers likely being one them.
