Draft spots next year if there is no 2020 season?

Anyone know how it works? Does it revert to this years?

I don't think that's in the manual
Prob a lotto

Maybe combination of last few seasons or what I read NHL did a weighted lottery. Interesting anyhow.

I call first overall pick!

I imagine they'll do it the way the NHL did in 2005, which was to allocate draft order by lottery (probably with the worst teams based on 2019 finish getting better odds) and then do a snake draft (team that picks last in first round, picks first in second round, etc).

It would also be very similar to the 2005 NHL draft since that one had a presumptive generational talent in Sidney Crosby and the 2021 NFL draft would have one in Trevor Lawerence.

Interesting topic.
Our luck the Patriots would snag #1 and draft Trevor Lawrence.

Not just draft spots but how will prospects be evaluated with no college football season? I feel the bust rate will be higher than usual.

 

[Rick Cartman]

I would guess a lotto of some sort.

I could only imagine the bewilderment on Goodell's face if the first lotto ball out is New England. I am being completely facetious.

If there is no college season and the NCAA grants another year of eligibility there may not be a 2021 draft. Not likely but possible.

I think there is a pretty good chance that there is some kind of NFL season next year.Maybe not a full 16 but enough that they will be able to use the standings.Whether the is a College football season is a different matter.It is one thing for pro's to go back to work in a controlled environment, but to play college games while campuses are still closed would be to admit that football has nothing to do with college and is just professional football.

In the event of a total washout of College and Pro games next we will have bigger problems than how the Draft will work.

There will be a NFL season this year. At worst it may be played in empty stadiums. There is just to much money involved to not have a season. Add in the Vegas betting aspect and you can believe there will be a season.

I would trade out at all costs unless Trevor Lawrence was available

Soccer in Europe has been completely shutdown and you can bet that money involved is way more than the NFL.

They can do classes online. As for not having college football, since CFB funds most universities entire athletic as as much of the scholarship budget, there wouldn't be any sports. I think by September, they will figure something out.
