Whether it’s the people who are usually in the draft rooms or the people watching on TV, the NFL Draft will certainly look different this year because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

NFL teams, including the Cincinnati Bengals, were informed that they must conduct their drafts remotely with personnel in separate locations. All team facilities were closed by the league on March 26. Head coach Zac Taylor said he will remain at his home.
