NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced this week that the draft will go on as planned between April 23-25, but teams will make their selections from remote locations. This will present challenges for every franchise and make for one of the most fascinating drafts in modern league history.
In the modern era, each club has scouts working throughout the year at all levels of college football to try and gain an edge.
For Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman, the draft is where he has made his name — not only by finding contributing players in every round, but also by making draft-day deals to try and acquire more picks.
