Draft may get pushed back (tug-o-war ensuing)

Yeah that makes sense - but what is the real time window on being able to get that? Meaning, how many days (X days pre-draft) does that require? Is it 15? 30?

If it’s not already available, that must mean that it requires the team’s own independent review (I.e. team docs or whatever). And you can’t open that window until the virus mitigation measures are lifted. Plus they won’t be all lifted at the same time.

Seems like a lot left in question - but pushing back for now makes sense.

I would say likely 3-4 weeks? (guessing)

Enough time to open up travel restrictions, and allow a team doctor to examine a prospect, or a prospect to have his own personal Physician do the required testing, imaging and then make that info available to teams.

No doubt it's a tricky proposition and it's going to require a collaborative effort between all 32 teams to share certain information regarding prospects to each other, or make that information readily available to keep the Draft process on track in an expedient manner.

Although it likely seems irreverent it's looking like the league is going to stand firm on the timetable and teams are just going to have to Go based on whatever information they have up to that point.
