Despite the fact the coronavirus pandemic ruined the draft happening in Las Vegas, at least fans of the NFL will have plenty of viewing options.

During tough times, it’s important to look for the bright spots. The NFL Network and ESPN both broadcasting the draft is a pretty cool move.

It gives viewers and fans plenty of options.

We’re in for a unique year of draft action starting April 23. We’ve never had a virtual draft before, and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds.

All things considered, the NFL has done a nice job of adapting to the crisis and circumstances.
