As of right now, the NFL Draft will go on as scheduled but there will be no crowd or audience. Basically, imagine the MLB Draft if you've ever seen it. I doubt even the players will be there, just phone calls and probably the Commissioner to announce the selections. No word yet on whether or not the player will be on video when selected, probably just a phone call but we'll see were this virus goes.

I don't see that as a big deal. All we really care about is who we draft and not who's in the audience booing the commish.

Honestly I see this being less of an issue then a lot of things. The NBA without fans? Pass. NCAA Tourney without fans? Pass. NFL Draft without fans? They have fans at those things?

I predict between now and then it gets changed from being held in Vegas to being held via conference call.

Really no need to have reps from 32 teams travel and congregate.

That's pretty much where we are today. NFL announced it won't be held in Vegas, probably just live via satellite for a lot of players and teams. Even then, amateur video for the players. Not going to have a film crew of 14 in someone's living room.

Same here.  I actually prefer it because maybe now the tv coverage will be 100% about the draft and not showing everyone in the crowd reacting and as you said, booing the commish.
