Let’s say the season is canceled then how do you determine the 2021 draft order?

1. Carry forward the 2020 draft order.

2. Semi randomise the draft order with teams in tiers, based on 2019 WLT. e.g. worst 5 records draw lots for picks 1-5, next 10 for 6-15, then 16-25, then 26-32.

Or just give the first 10 picks to the Patriots, so they can finally be properly punished and able to pay for their various cheating escapades.

When asked by ESPN, Goodell said they know the Patriots would be first, the Saints would draft last but they haven't finished working out the rest of the details.

Fantasy type draft. Lottery for first round and then 2nd round goes high for lower 1st rounds.

Any chance they would just cancel the draft? And have 10-14 round draft the following year?

if it isnt cancel, they would almost have to keep the same draft order as 2020

I don't think it happens unless a season happens and many colleges have a season. It's not fair to the college players if their school shuts down the season and they have to try and make it into the draft based on performance a year ago.

IMO if you try and force the season and the draft, you're going to be fumbling with everything for years to get it back in line.
