Draft still happening, will be closed to the public

No reason the draft can't be held.

However, no public, no players, and there's no need to meet in one place. Do the whole thing remotely. Each team at their own facility, the NFL at their HQ announcing trades/picks, and ESPN in their studios doing analysis.

I can imagine the AV breaking within 2 picks.

ESPN is desperate to show something. They'll probably use all 3 channels.

I've heard eSports have a real chance of dominating here.

ESPN should sent crews to random amateur golf and bowling leagues. Then have the censors on standby...

Atlanta moving on from Freeman.

Titans tag Henry.

Vikings give Cousins 2 more years.

Cardinals trade Johnson for Hopkins.

The Cardinals get another Hall of Fame WR to waste and the Texans just ensured they'll see a lot more blitzing next year.

Cowboys tag Prescott.

Another big trade.

Vikings get a much better haul for Diggs than the Texans got for Hopkins.

Amari Cooper got paid.

Weird that Prescott still hasn't...

Mariota to the Raiders.

Chargers, Raiders, Bucs, or someone else?

Raiders already have 2 QBs, right? I would guess... Bucs? Though lord knows Snyder would suck Brady's cock every day to get him.

Bucs and Chargers seem to have teams that could compete. Not sure about the Raiders.

The Raiders just agreed to terms with Mariota yesterday, so i'm pretty sure they are out. Chargers and Buccs seem to be the most likely, but i wouldn't sleep on the Colts either. They're one year removed from a deep playoff run and have all the tools already in place.

... and just as i write that and check Twitter i see a report saying Colts and Phillip Rivers is "all but a done deal"

Maybe the Carolina Panthers???..

If he posted that he's not coming back, then he either has a deal in place or he and Belichick really hate each other.

Panthers seem to want Bridgewater, but maybe that was before Brady said goodbye.

Hard for me to believe Brady says goodbye without already having a destination locked up, though.
