The NFL coaches and GMs wanted the NFL Draft pushed back due to the impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic. Commissioner Goodell and the Players Association kept the draft as scheduled. With major
changes. Goodell didn’t want to pass on the exclusive opportunity to have the draft conducted while we
sports fans are starved for any type of programming. Prime time exclusive limelight!
This decision, combined with the decision to close all team facilities, is wreaking havoc on the teams
ability to prepare for the draft. Gone are the 30 Visits each team gets to bring prospects in for
workouts, interviews and medical checks.
