The draft originally was scheduled for Las Vegas,
but the NFL canceled all public events last
month as a safeguard against the coronavirus.
On April 6, Goodell instructed teams on how
they should plan to make selections.
“After consulting with medical advisers, we
cannot identify an alternative that is preferable
from a medical or public health perspective,
given the varying needs of clubs, the need
properly to screen participants, and the unique
risk factors that individual club employees may
face,” he wrote.
Among the technologies needed for the actual
draft are team web meetings and a web hookup
with the league itself. There also will be phone
lines for communicating with other teams for
trades, which must be approved by the NFL
central office.
