Last month, the NFL held this year\u2019s draft for the upcoming season in a virtual format due to the Coronavirus pandemic. League coaches and GMs showed off their homes<\/a> <\/span>via video conference calls, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced the picks from his home. The draft took place over the course of three days, and despite the lack of Chicago Bears draft picks in the first round, it was still plenty of fun to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first round, the Cincinnati Bengals selected LSU quarterback, Joe Burrow, with the first overall pick. Three more quarterbacks followed him in the first round, the final one going to the Green Bay Packers. Tick tock, Rodgers\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ohio State Buckeye\u2019s Chase Young and Jeff Okudah fell second and third to the Redskins and Lions. And the Miami Dolphins ended up with Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama with the fifth pick in the draft. By day two of the draft, the Bears were on the clock with the 43rd pick.<\/span><\/p>\n
