Carson4MVP Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 In the slim chance there is no 2020 NFL season due to the Covid-19 outbreak, do we get the #1 pick in the draft by de facto, or think they would do a draft lottery instead? Trevor Lawrence would be an awesome backup QB for us... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Almost no chance they would use the same draft order. Imagining the haul we could get for Trevor Lawrence (yes, I'd stick with Burrow) is fun to dream on though. Get those 4-5 first round picks over two years and maybe a couple 2nds.

That was my thoughts. Could do a complete rebuild with that haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I doubt that contingency has been planned yet. But that's a really fun scenario to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I definitely think they would do a draft lottery of some sort. I saw an article about how the NHL had a similar situation, and Sydney Crosby was the top prospect. They gave each team a certain number of balls based on the previous 3 season records.

Hey the Bengals would still have a pretty good shot then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the last 3 years have been bad enough to probably still warrant a top 10 pick. And i'm cautiously optimistic that they'll be better than that, if they're able to play this year.

Johnny Nix Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I have serious doubts we are gonna have an NFL season, at least a full one. even when the government opens everything back up, there’s gonna be some serious stipulations for awhile till we have a vaccine in place.

That's over 18 months out. Can't see everything shut down that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statehouse in Columbus is already getting daily protestors, and it has only been a month. It's not a lot of people now, but that number is just going to grow the longer this goes on.

And retail stores will all go under if people all get laid off. The trickle down effect curve is far more frightening than the exponential growth curve if people ignore the quarantine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are by far their biggest revenue generators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I expect the NFL season to start on time. I think MLS and MLB will resume their seasons in late June or July. My guess is that by late April it's clear we're past the apex. Governments will wait several more weeks to be sure and let things settle down. By the end of May we'll be reopening restaurants and movie theaters. In early June sports teams start training again and we get the end of the NBA and NHL seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By April they thought it was slowing only for it to come back 3-4x more lethal in fall. In 1918, 3% of the world’s population was killed off by the flu. And that’s just the confirmed cases.
