Something to consider.... what if the NFL season gets cancelled due to the Coronavirus? does the NFL keep the same draft order for 2021? I think they should do the draft the same way the NBA does their draft and have a lottery for the first pick. This would keep team like Cincinnati from tanking. It looks like the Carolina Panthers are going in tank mode probably to get the number one pick to draft Lawrence. Thoughts?
 
Kirk Herbstreit said he thinks that both the college and pro football seasons will be cancelled due to the virus. How do you social distance at a 70,000 plus stadium?
 
Was literally thinking about this the other day. Kinda creepy actually. I think the lottery system would be the best but instead of a multiple ball count you only get 1 per team.

I have the solution.
by then testing should be a lot more advanced. You test all players daily. No fans in attendance. Problem solved. Someone email this to the commish
 
I don't think they would cancel the entire season, maybe a 9 game season like in 1982? Sell each game like a ppv for like $20 per game or something in an empty stadium.

Could you imagine being a player and playing meaningful games in an empty stadium? We most likely would find the the 12th man is very very real. But if it came down to a choice of watching football without any fans or no football, well the choice is very obvious.

I just can’t envision packed stadiums in the future. While the country will open up eventually, The way we live our lives going forward is forever changed. I don’t believe things will ever go completely back to how they were before.

As far as the draft goes, a lottery system would be the most fair way to go about it but I hope they just keep the same order as this year because we have a high pick.

This is the new normal..... I was also thinking about how this is all new to the draft process. While we had the combine, navigating the through draft process must present challenges to all 32 teams. No face to face meetings, no dinners, just video interaction. It's just different. But fair because the whole league is going through it.
 
Eventually the virus will become less infectious (R0 will decrease to 1ish, which will make it no worse than the seasonal flu), that's the goal at least with all these precautions.

I'm going to hope things get better by June/July but if not, we probably will have games played with no fans.... The Chargers should be used to it by now, they'll be okay

Kind of but not totally fair. Some states are completely locked down while others are still avoiding it. I doubt the Rams or chargers are getting much done at all, while other teams like Miami maybe are still making moves.

I think top 10 should get lottery pick from 2019 draft. Cincinnati should not get first pick.
 
The simple solution is a forced lockdown for 2 weeks.

But since nobody wants to follow rules, yes it’s looking increasingly likely that football season is in danger. In the event of a cancellation, it’s going to cause a lot of issues for college football.

Are seniors now forced to enter the 2021 draft without, in some cases, getting any playing time in their college career?

I don't believe that at all. They will find a vaccine and life will go on as usual. Almost 100 million people died world wide in 1918 during the Spanish flu. It happened, they found a vaccine, and life returned to normal.
 
I just read an article stating the NFL will test all it's players before they start the season. So it looks like they are seriously considering having some sort of 2020 season. As for the fans, the article didn't mention anything about how the NFL will handle the stadiums. Personally I think it be wise to play the games without fans, at least until the CDC gives the all clear, due to the development of vaccines that either kill the virus and/or immune humans to it.
