What they do with the draft will be interesting to see but I fail to see any world where it's "business as usual" in September.

Yeah, the start of the new league year is meaningless in terms of the fans and physical contact, so I don't see any reason why that would be delayed or cancelled given the technology we have today to interact with one another.
And while the grandeur of the draft would be slightly affected, the bottom line is that the league earns its money from the draft via TV and more importantly, Prime Time TV.
While we most likely won't see 20ish players at the draft walk onstage, the other 300 or so watch from home so outside of the people in attendance, it should be business as usual.
