Summary

With live competitions mostly canceled, the 2020 NFL Draft is not only happening this Thursday, but it's rallying the sports world in an even bigger way than usual. We'll find out where prospects like QBs Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, and Jordan Love will land, and we'll see a whole new approach as draft prospects work from home like so many of us.

He breaks down this year's draft class, explains which teams could actually benefit from a remote draft, and how it could all go down. Learn more about your ad choices.
