I’d screw with the GMs and move up instead.
I’m ready for it, they should be too.
If the GM subcommittee recommends it, and if I were to bet, it's postponed. Fan desires aren't in the equation

Roger Goodell is nothing but a puppet for the geriatric owners that remain to control.This is stupid.
We live in a world where high powered machines emit radiation and give a colorful picture of your colon. We have planes that can be flown via remote control. There are surgeons who have literally performed surgery from home through a server and robotic hands.
This is not that. Not even close.
Give me a break. They can't figure out a way to get physicals remotely? Everything they were going to in person, they can do on a video call with a licensed physician who administers the physical live. It's not that hard to figure it out.
Easy solution.
No one meets in groups. Everyone is remote. The commissioner is by himself announcing picks. Done. No complications. We'll still get Kiper and all the other talking heads in their remote locations. Similar to Around the Horn. I'd be down for that.
Plus if this virus is going to be as wide spread and catastophic as expected there very well could be some players selected in April that never play a down in the NFL. From a GM standpoint why not just wait until we have a better idea of who survives this and who is still healthy to play football. Unfortunately it's going to take a few big name deaths in the music, acting or athletic industries before the seriousness of what's going on really sinks in around the country. If and when that happens everything will be put on the back burner.

Roger Goodell and I disagree with you.
I agree with you that there may not be football this fall, but I don't see how you conduct a lottery for 2021 draft order. What would it be based on? The 2019 records? Because if NE or Pittsburgh or Dallas or whatever get the number one pick and draft Lawrence while the also rans of the league (including Miami) have to get by with the scraps, this board will explode and so will the NFL.The 1918 pandemic lasted for nearly 2 years around the world. It is predicted that it will be at least sometime in 2021 before there will be a possible vaccine for Covid19. I just don’t see the NFL or college football season being played this year. I think there will likely be two drafts, 2020 and 2021 before we see football again. I assume in this case there will be a lottery system to determine the draft order for the 2021 draft.
10 quintillion % with you brother. Infinitely idiotic that the thought even needs comes into anyone's head to delay this. We put men on the moon over 55 years ago with 1/30th the technology that is in a freaking Alexa Dot. These set in their way butt clowns can't get their mind around the fact that the only way to do a draft is to sit in the same room and smell each other fart belligerently into their desk chairs? Cisco can get this whole thing dialed in to each individual's house for literally free advertising in the span of a week's prep. MEANWHILE, the entire draft was done for how many decades in a meeting room at the NYC Sheraton with just phone lines, pens and index cards?This is stupid.

Definitely. And so many lives turned upside down.So many unknowns.
While I understand your concern with a lottery type selection in 2021 if the 2020 season is not played, I really don’t think it would be fair to do it any other way. Making picks based on how teams finished the 2019 season wouldn’t really be fair to the teams or fans of other teams in the NFL. As a Dolphin fan I would certainly love for that draft to be based on the 2019 record but can you imagine the Bengals drafting Burrow this year and then having the opportunity to draft Lawrence with the first pick in the 2021 draft based on their 2019 record.I agree with you that there may not be football this fall, but I don't see how you conduct a lottery for 2021 draft order.
