Can confirm that @NFL teams will conduct a virtual mock draft on Monday in preparation of the real thing on Thursday. Goes without saying, of course, that all player names will be fictitious.

In less than a week, the NFL will partake in the 2020 NFL draft but it will be nothing like we’ve ever seen before. Instead of a live draft at a major location with all the fanfare and spectacle, there will instead be a virtual draft done via video conferencing will all 32 teams literally in their homes making picks.
To prepare for the real thing, the league is going to do a virtual mock draft on Monday to troubleshoot technical and logistical problems with drafts held on in people’s basements.
If you are like many Americans who are currently working from home and rely on video conferencing to do their job you understand just how much can go wrong. Even if things go off without a hitch on Monday, don’t be shocked if there are still problems on draft night.
