What if there is not season this year, how would the NFL determine draft order
I was just thinking, if Covid wipes out the season ( I pray that it doesn't), how would the NFL determine the draft order for next year. Keeping the same order as this year seams unfair, the poor teams just loaded up with some really good talent and shouldn't automatically get to pick at the top again. Drawing numbers out of a hat seems unfair too. Any ideas how they would do it? Do they have a contingency plan already in place?

TE - Zach Ertz, Harris Demetrius, Hayden Hurst

And piggybacking that how would dynasty leagues determine draft order?

Sure some kind of lottery would do ..

Go by Vegas over/under wins. So, at the moment that would be
Jaguars
Redskins
Bengals
Panthers
Dolphins
Giants
Lions
Jets
Raiders
Cardinals
Texans
Seems fair to me.

If that's how it plays out, the Jags and Skins would be in a great spot to get Lawrence and Fields.Cameron Giles wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 1:07 pm Go by Vegas over/under wins. So, at the moment that would be

Not sure how the league would do it but my home league has already addressed how we would do this. We would run a madden season sim, track the scores for players and do an all play record. It’s absurd but at least it’s fun.

Maybe use projections, or have each owner rank the overall finish of each team in the league (except their own, so nobody can determine their own finish). Average the scores and there's your rookie draft order.fruity pebbles wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 11:41 am And piggybacking that how would dynasty leagues determine draft order?
Seems fair, that way you don't have a great on-paper team getting the 1.01.

There are at least 3 threads which have discussed this, FYI, in a dynasty context, if you want to go through those for some answers on that front. A tiered lottery based on 2020 standings seems to be the best answer IMO. Not sure how the NFL will do it.

Other sports have gone through this because of player lockout. NFL could do something similar.

Re: What if there is not season this year, how would the NFL determine draft order
Assuming there is no NFL season would also mean a college season wasn't played. I could see it as no draft at all, just a gap year for football

If the season was skipped all around I suppose you could offer an extra year of eligibility or the option to enter the supplemental draftFantasyFreak wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 8:18 pmSome college kids would want to declare, though.raiders444 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 7:59 pm Assuming there is no NFL season would also mean a college season wasn't played.
