    What Happens to the Draft Order if NFL Season Cancelled?

    Ive been reading online that lindsey graham expects corona to come back on the fall and herbstreit saying he doesnt think college or pro football will be played this year.

    So my question is if this season of collegr and nfl is cancelled. How does the NFL decide the draft order?

    Why would the draft matter if the NFL was canceled?
    much less, the draft order?
    .005 Brock Bowers, TE/HB/SR Georgia
    .037 Braden Fiske, DT Florida St.
    .069 Mike Sainristil, CB Michigan
    .105 Brenden Rice, WR USC
    .110 Mason McCormick, OG/OC S. Dakota St.
    .140 Zak Zinter, OG Michigan
    .181 Nehemiah Pritchett, CB Auburn
    .225 Ainias Smith, WR Texas A&M
    .253 Carson Steele, RB UCLA

      Even if the nfl was postponed, why would they change the current order?

        This draft stays the same as current. If they cancel then next years draft order would be tough to call. Either use a random order or perhaps the top 10 gets scrambled from this year and the 11-20 randomized then last 12 random?

        I think nfl plays even if they delay the schedule and reduce games. They have shortened practices to games before. Will be tough on rooks and new players but can be done.

            If NFL is canceled, so would college...I am assuming eligibility would be extended, might be a pretty thin draft....sure, some guys are still gonna come out...but I'll bet it's pretty reduced.

            As for draft order, I figure it either stays the same, or as mentioned above, is randomized within blocks...probably 4 blocks of 8 teams.

            There you go, chaincrusher...now there is hope for your man crush coming here, if the ping pong ball they pull out first says Chargers...LOL
            The TPB makes plans....

            And Jim Harbaugh laughs...

              They could do something similar to the NBA and drop ping pong balls.

              What if the Chargers got the number 1 pick because the ping pong ball went our way ???

                If MLB plans to play, the NFL definitely will.

                Herbstreet should stick to calling a college game.

                As for the draft order for 2021....just need to have this draft first, will worry about the next one later but id like to pick 6th again

                  I was more so just asking out of curiosity of how the draft would work if a season wasnt played. Couldn't find it on google. So i thought maybe someone here would know.

                      I wouldn’t mind watching nfl games without any fans in attendance
                      just 2 teams
                      nfl personnel
                      and cameras

                      I doubt our players would notice a difference

                        Think it would give us a neutral field advantage!
