Report: NFL Draft Plans to Proceed as Scheduled

The draft will take place from April 23 to 25 in Las Vegas.

While no scheduling changes have been made, Rapoport reports the league is simultaneously putting together contingency plans should it need to act and postpone the draft.

"The draft is slated to go on, but in what actual form is certainly a question," Rapoport said. "Will there be fans there? Will it be a big-time, return to sports moment for the NFL if the nation gets over this virus in that time?
