The draft set a record in 2019 with 6.1 million viewers across all networks and platforms – up 11 percent from the previous high set in 2018, according to the league. Those numbers could be smashed April 23-25 under the stay-at-home government directives during the coronavirus pandemic.
Here are five teams whose fans could be especially entertained — their activity will drive the draft:
1. MIAMI DOLPHINS
Total picks: 14
The Dolphins’ so-called “tank” in 2019 didn’t produce the No. 1 overall pick.
But the plan to trade starters – even rookie-contract bargains such as Laremy Tunsil and Minkah Fitzpatrick – produced a record-tying draft haul.
