The 2020 NFL Draft is kicking off on April 23 and will be done fully virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. To avoid endangering any team personnel, players, or NFL personnel, each team’s draft ‘task force’ will remotely (via internet and/or phone) make their picks and communicate with the league office.
The Detroit Lions could find this situation hurtful to their 2020 NFL Draft aspirations. The team’s decision-makers need to hit on most, if not all, of their draft picks this year if they want to compete for a Super Bowl in the coming years.
