The 2020 NFL Draft, scheduled to take place April 23-25 in Las Vegas, will proceed and be televised, but public events have been canceled, the league announced.

The Las Vegas strip was expected to host the event for the first time ever, next to Bellagio Hotel and Casino. Last year's draft was held in Nashville, Tennessee.

Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow of LSU is expected by many to be the No. 1 pick in the draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
