The NFL will hold a virtual mock draft on Monday to give teams a trial run before the actual draft begins on Thursday.

"We're going to do a couple of internal tests and trial runs here, and the league is going to have a mock draft, mock trial run on Monday that we'll participate in," Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn said.

"We'll have fun making some mock trades," said Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman.

There are safeguards in place should issues arise during the draft. The NFL can stop the clock if a team is having trouble communicating its pick.

"Three separate team individuals are able to submit the pick, so if there's an issue at one person's house, two other team execs could submit," a league spokesman said. "If a team is experiencing technological issues, the player personnel department would be in position to stop the clock to ensure a pick is submitted or a trade occurs."
