Per a team statement:

"Wale will join the Redskins Virtual Draft Party on Saturday, April 26 at 6:00 p.m. He’ll also produce exclusive Redskins content during Draft Week, including producing and directing three Redskins music highlight videos featuring tracks from his latest album Wow… That’s Crazy.

“Football has always been a part of my life, as a player and a fan,” said Wale. “I’m honored to support D.C. and the Redskins by hosting a virtual draft during the quarantine. Given the current circumstances, unity is more important than ever. I need everyone to stay home and stay safe while we celebrate together.”

Redskins Public Relations also announced that coverage of the event will be streamed on all of their social media accounts but as always you do need to register at Redskins.com/VirtualDraft.

The Redskins were believed to be the first NFL team to announce a virtual draft party, which they are doing over three nights.

The first two nights will be focused on draft analysis and commentary.

The seven-round selection process will be over around 6 PM on Saturday as the Wale portion kicks off.
