The 2020 NFL Draft was supposed to be a spectacle the likes only Las Vegas can create.

Instead, it will be the most subdued draft we've seen since owners were spinning the dial on rotary phones from the Warwick Hotel.

Given the circumstances of the current coronavirus pandemic, the NFL is going to a "fully virtual" format, with all general managers, coaches and their personnel members conducting business from their homes.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell just informed clubs in a memo that club facilities will remain closed indefinitely and the league will conduct a “fully virtual” draft, with club personnel separately located in their homes. pic.twitter.com/28t2kNnLAI

In other words, Bill Belichick and Jerry Jones are about to conduct their real life draft the same way that you and your boys have been filling out your fantasy squads since Al Gore invented the internet. 

"All Clubs will not have access to their facilities, which is contrary to the fundamental equity principle that all clubs operate in a consistent and fair way," said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. "Moreover, we want all NFL personnel to comply with government directives and to model safe and appropriate health practices."

Not everyone is super pumped about it.

The 2020 #NFL draft will be like your online fantasy draft.

1. Someone will draft a retired player in the 1st round.

2. Someone will get the time wrong and show up in the 2nd round.

3. Someone will call Roger Goodell panicking in the 3rd round because they still can't log in.

Simply skimming the Google machine for reactions from NFL teams will result in pages upon pages of results wherein Executive A from Team B is nervous about the possibility of rivals hacking into their Zoom draft room.

Maybe. But if they think that's bad, try running an offline draft on a Google Sheet over the course of a weekend. Absolute anarchy.
