FMIA filed in full to ace ed @dombonvissuto … Draft nuggets, an NFL galley I had a lot of fun compiling, plus the usual nonsense.

One other thing: Roger Goodell will (as suspected) announce first-round picks standing in his basement in Bronxville, N.Y.— Peter King (@peter_king) April 12, 2020
It’ll be a unique format for the NFL Draft, but one that is necessary due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Goodell has previously announced that this year’s draft will be entirely virtual, with coaches and general managers making selections from their own homes, as well.
Team personnel are restricted from congregating in one home or meeting in a team facility during this time. There will also be 58 draft prospects who will be participating in the draft virtually, though the details of what that means have yet to be revealed.
The 2020 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 23-25.
