If they delay to early 2021 then they may as well cancel the season since it ends in early 2021.

I'd put Julio Jones in the top 5.
So would I but he's already been announced at #11. Best receiver in the game.

Good question, imagine they would do some sort of draft lottery for a range of positions based on last season's reg season positions, bit like the NHL. So top 10 lotto & so on.... Whoever gets Lawrence in that scenario will be laughing.
Yeah a weighted lottery system like the NHL in 2005 would seem like a good option in that case. Could still lead to a Super Bowl contender getting the first overall pick though - it could change the outlook of a franchise for the next decade or so just because they got lucky in the lottery, still seems a bit arbitrary. It certainly did in the NHL that year with the Penguins having the opportunity to draft Crosby.
I'm liking this, can we go back even further to give SF a better pick please. Just forget last year altogether.

It would be pretty much impossible to do a bubble for an NFL roster over 1500 players then you have the family, the trainer's, nutritionist, and so on.
to keep them all quarantined.Hockey are doing a two city bubble between Edmonton and Toronto. NFL could do something similar to this, but simply add a third.It would be pretty much impossible to do a bubble for an NFL roster over 1500 players then you have the family, the trainer's, nutritionist, and so on.
It should be done but I can't see it being a reality unless they buy a massive Island
That's what everyone initially thought when it first appeared in February/March. I very much doubt the world will be (almost) Covid-19 free by the beginning of 2021, especially the USA.
One this wave of COVID finishes up, which I suspect will happen when people finally start wearing masks and not publicly congregating, I would think things would be stable enough to play sports by Jan. Unless of course we are in a significantly worse place in Oct than we are now.
Looks like it ended up with 1. Jackson 2. Wilson 3. Donald 4. Mahomes. I can understand if they went Donald #1 over Mahomes but putting two other QBs over him is weird.
Think the voting gets done after the regular season so would make sense to have Lamar at #1. Wilson over Mahomes is weird though yeah.

Smacks of something they’d do if a team was serious about signing him and wanted clarification on a potential suspension.
Yea probably. His career is over.
Yeah, there were rumours the Seahawks and Ravens have been considering him but wanted to know how long he'd be suspended for. Guessing if he makes it to week 9 and hasn't managed to get it extended, someone will pick him up, just hope it's not the Seahawks. If he was upset at not getting the ball enough in Pittsburgh, he'll go fecking ballistic when we run every fecking play.
From what I've read Boston isn't a hotspot region, so it's a bit strange so many Pats players are opting out (not that I blame any of them ).
Yeah ... can’t fault anyone for opting out. Just very strange that we’ve got a much longer list than others, not sure if I’m trying to read too much info something and it’s just the run of the dice.

So they’re not allowed to opt-out after the deadline?
Err, not sure, but I assumed that's what "opt-out deadline" means yeah

fair enough... I thought with the uncertainty around Covid-19 and if things get better/worse, they’d be allowed to opt out at anytime. Seems strange to have a deadline so early when you don’t know how things will be in a few weeks’ time.
