In a memo sent to teams, Goodell served warning to those around the league who criticize the league’s stance. He wrote in the memo, “public discussion of issues relating to the Draft serves no useful purpose. Also, is grounds for disciplinary action.”

According to Goodell, the NFL Management Council Executive Committee met Thursday and was “unanimous and unequivocal that the Draft should go forward as scheduled.” Meaning all owners were onboard.

“Everyone recognizes that the public health conditions are highly uncertain. Also, there is no assurance that we can select a different date. Be confident that conditions will be significantly more favorable than they are today,” he wrote.

The NFL Draft was originally scheduled to take place in Las Vegas. However, the league announced it would not be open to the public. News came after the coronavirus forced the cancellation of public gatherings of more than 50 people.

“I also believe that the Draft can serve a very positive purpose for our clubs. Our fans and the country at large, and many of you have agreed,” Goodell wrote in the memo. Goodell has received flack.

During an appearance on “The Peter King Podcast,” New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, a member of the GM subcommittee, said he was in favor of pushing the draft back. Will Peter King be disciplined?

“I’d be personally in favor of delaying the draft. So that we can get some of the work done that our scouts and our personnel people ordinarily do,” Loomis said. “And then just the logistics of trying to conduct the draft, with not having access to your draft rooms and your offices, creates a lot of logistic problems.”

Every season there are a few key players whose production will drop from the year before. These are the quarterback, running back, and wide receiver that will have the biggest drop in production this season.

Drew Brees is coming off a spectacular season in which he threw for 5,208 yards and 37 touchdowns. In the offseason, the Saints traded away his leading receiver, Brandin Cooks. They signed veteran receiver Ted Ginn Jr. to fill the void, but he doesn’t possess the raw abilities of Cooks and is a one-dimensional player who uses his speed to beat defenders. More importantly, the Saints signed future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson who will demand his share of touches. The addition of Peterson and the loss of Cooks means that Brees will throw fewer passes, and will have less talent on the field when he does throw the ball. I expect Brees to have 4,500 yards, and 32 touchdowns, which still makes him one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Last season LeGarrette Blount rushed for 1,161 yards and 18 touchdowns with the New England Patriots. Blount became a free agent and signed with the Philadelphia Eagles to work as a power back and share carries with Ryan Mathews, and Darren Sproles. The Eagles also added Torrey Smith and Alshon Jeffery to boost the receiving corps for young franchise quarterback Carson Wentz. As Blount shares the backfield with two talented veterans in a pass heavy offense, I expect LeGarrette’s production to be cut in half, and he will rush for 600 yards and 9 touchdowns.

When Pierre Garcon signed with the 49ers we immediately heard Taps playing in our head. Brian Hoyer will be throwing the ball to Garcon and a depleted Niners receiving corps. Last season Pierre caught 79 passes for 1,041 yards and 3 touchdowns. I expect he will have a similar number of receptions and touchdowns, but he will see a significant drop in his yards per catch. I predict Pierre Garcon will have 70 catches for 750 yards and 4 touchdowns.
