They can do the Draft without the SHOW ESPN has turned it into.  The NFL had the draft many decades before it became a TV Show.  There is no need for a live audience this year. Common sense should prevail.  Go back to audience thing in 2021 if possible, but in 2020 they can do the NFL Draft without a live audience.  If TV tells me who is being drafted, that's all we really need anyway. The owners could phone or computer their picks in and we would get who has been drafted.

WE LIKE IT, is no reason to do it in 2020.  If ESPN gets the news on the pick and then shows their highlight film of the player, that would work for 2020.

There's no reason to not have it televised.
Keeping the fans from attending in-person does make sense though.
