Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton appeared on Wednesday's episode of the Rich Eisen Show and said the NFC South team has set up its draft war room in a local brewery that belongs to the family of Gayle Benson, who owns the Saints and New Orleans Pelicans.

The NFL draft is still scheduled to take place from April 23-25 amid the coronavirus pandemic, but all public events in Las Vegas have been canceled. What's more, team facilities are closed and travel restrictions are in place, meaning squads around the league have to adjust as the draft approaches.
