2021 DRAFT ORDER if no 2020 season?

How would they do this? How do they even select players if no college football season this year? Base it on this past year's performance?

Who would get the #1 pick for example? Cannot just give it to Cincy again.

Would love to hear different perspectives on this.

Probably wouldn't have a draft. Not sure why college players would want to declare after not playing for a season.

No draft would suck.
Circle of death single elimination to determine order
There's no precedent for this as far as I know so it's all speculation but if there had to be one I would make it start in order of the 2019 records in the first round where everyone gets one pick and then make it a snake draft (reverse order in alternating rounds) every round after

Great question if this happen.. Bowling tournament by the owners ?
If there's not NFL season I'm guessing there's no college football season. So then there's no draft in 2021.

What would happen to the Seniors/RS Seniors who already graduated? Medical year of eligibility to play next season? Or bag groceries for a year? Crazy if we really don't have a season college and pro

This. Do it just like the NBA lottery except you break the teams into quarters with the team in each quarter with the most losses getting the highest number of ping pong balls. Makes sense to me

I'm guessing they'd have another yr of eligibility. Yeah I doubt we get to that though
There will be an NFL draft even if the college season is canceled. Why would the top college players want to lose a year of NFL earnings by returning to college for an extra year?

Because of the risk in declaring and losing college eligibility, I would expect fewer to declare. The draft will likely be weaker in 2021 and stronger in 2022 as a result, so smart NFL teams will plan accordingly.
2021 would just snake off 2020.
