Gugny Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I haven't seen anything written on this topic since April. It's a real possibility that there may not be a season ... in the NFL or in College. Lots of variables. What's the draft order? Do college seniors get another year of eligibility? From what I've researched, this situation has not been accounted for (not faulting anyone). Just wondering if anyone has any intel on how this will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemsonBills Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would think it would be some sort of snake draft (think fantasy). This way whoever picks 1st, wouldn’t pick again until the 64th pick. Either way they do it it would be a chit show and I’m sure the NFL will do whatever they can to avoid this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on a lottery system? I think the bigger issue is the fact that you're gonna have a complete cluster you know what from the college ranks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan2313 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Probably the same order as this years draft 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real truth is that a lot of college football players better stay and get their degree because a bunch of them aren’t gonna be pro football players because of this. The league however will survive even if it takes a couple of years to have the dust fully settle as it were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 If Manfred is saying that the likelihood of MLB having a season is "100%", there will be an NFL season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) The season will start.. Too much money on the line. Finishing is another story depending how it goes. I can’t wrap my head around the possibility there won’t be pro sports yet this year Edited June 16, 2020 by Rc2catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Bengals get to replace Joe B. with Trevor before Joe ever plays a down.(Maybe a blessing for Joe) Pats* get extra comp picks, just because. We don’t get to see Tua’s plush house again, which made me envious, so we get to see who the next best paid college player is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I don't actually believe it's a real possibility. At this point I think it's far more likely for the season to happen in its entirety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wrap my head around the possibility there won’t be pro sports yet this year Wrap your head around it. I watched golf (the colonial) some this past weekend. Can I tell you the last time I did that: masters 2019 with tiger woods. Last time I watched it before then: never. That’s how desperate I’ve become. Heck, tennis may have ratings through the roof when they crank back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I would assume the NFL will go all 16 games unless the infection rates spike drastically again. I don’t think they’ll be any fans. I do think the NFL and the NFLPA should work on an agreement for “stay in place” for all staff and players. Things start to get dicey if players start getting infected and spreading it to other rosters. As much as it sucks, they should take a few months of lockdown. Them and their families. No restaurants etc. It seems like the only way to ensure that the league doesn’t lose more revenue or players. I think college is 50/50 at the moment. If they start as normal and with fans, I don’t see them either finishing the season and/or allowing fans at any stadium. College is sort of a scary proposition in general at the moment.

They couldn’t just use the previous year’s draft order - i would guess they’d have some sort of weighted lottery? Have the teams with the worst cumulative records over the past 3 years or so get into a lottery for the first 20 picks. Idk it would be terrible no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
