The NFL plans to conduct its annual draft as scheduled from April 23-25 despite a recommendation from the league's general manager subcommittee to commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday to delay the event due to the impacts of the coronavirus, according to a report by ESPN.

The 2020 NFL Draft was originally scheduled to be held in Las Vegas, but those plans were scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event is now planned to be run from team headquarters throughout the league, with the broadcast being run out of a television studio, according to multiple reports.
