ISH 2020 NFL Mock Draft

I'm a little behind so here's mine (assuming no trades)
I have some trade ideas that may work out I will post later

1- Cincinnati- Joe Burrows
Personally I don't think he'll be the best QB. Best right now but I see higher ceilings with Tua and Love

2- Washington- Chase Young
No brainer

3- Detroit- Isaiah Simmons-
I know people high on Okudah, but Simmons is a generational athlete

4- NYG- Meckhi Becton
They NEED OL

5- Miami Dolphin- Tua Tagovailao
Lock him up

6- LAC- Justin Herbert
Consolation QB

7- Carolina Panthers- Derrick Brown
Lot's of holes but I think this is the best fit + BPA

8- Arizona- Tristan Wirfs
Need a pancake machine

9- Jacksonville- Jeff Okudah
Yeah he slides, but not too far

10- Cleveland- Jedrick Wills
NEED OL

11- NYJ- Jerry Juedy
First WR off the board. Big need

12- Las Vegas- CeeDee Lamb
Takes best WR available

13- San Fran- Henry Ruggs
Need a playmaker WR

14- Tampa Bay- Andrew Thomas
Brady is old. Must protect

15- Denver- Javon Kinlaw
They really want to F*ck up Mahomes

16- Atlanta- Klavon Chaisson
They need a good motor there

17- Dallas- CJ Henderson
Dallas looking for BPA secondary

18- Miami- AJ Epenesa
Lots of holes. I like this fit

19- Las Vegas- Patrick Queen
He's gonna be dangerous with Jon Abram behind him

20- Jacksonville- Yatur Gross-Matos
They got Okudah in my draft so why not help pass rush

21- Philadelphia- Kenneth Murray
YES for my home team

22- CJ Henderson
Need CB

23- New England- Jordan Love
Sneaky pick. Next Franchise guy

24- New Orleans- Jalen Reagor
Need to Replace Ginn as the Burner

25- Minnesota- Kristian Fulton
Need to replace CB

26- Miami- D'Andre Swift
Build that Offense and get a legit RB

27- Seattle- Ross Blacklock
Need more interior

28- Baltimore- Zack Baun
Really underrated pick

29- Tenessee Titans- Jeff Gladney
Another underrated pick

30- Green Bay- Justin Jefferson
Best WR available IMO

31- San Fran- AJ Henderson
Sherman old

32- KC- Trevon Diggs
Need Corner

Whoops. 22 with Tee Higgins

[QUOTE=Carbine;13961867]Diggs, Fulton, Gladney, Jaylon Johnson.... One of these guys will be a very good player. Most likely two or three of them.

This kind of thinking is what led to the Packers getting Jaire Alexander at the end of the first round. Teams would have been shunned for taking him in the late teens at the time, but his tape and skills clearly showed someone worthy of taking.

Those four guys I listed are in the same boat. You can see why any of the four could be a great player, it's just deciding which one it will be.

Honestly, why aren't they viewed higher? Diggs is a very big corner with wheels. Tape is good.

Jaylon is a lot like Jaire coming out of college.

Gladney is as feisty a corner as you will see in any draft. He had acceptable speed and his tape....it's easy seeing him translate into a very good player. Competitiveness, technique, with a baseline amount of athletic ability is usually a combo that succeeds.

We took Leonard when he was viewed as a third round prospect, we got torched for it and now look. The start of his career is as good as ANY off ball linebacker EVER.

Anyway, that line of thinking "Henderson or nothing" is why teams suck at drafting.[/QUOTE]

I think the Cowboys have more 2nd round options at CB with the #51 pick. You have to factor that in. Mel Kiper says the drop off from CJ Henderson to the next CB is significant.

In 2018 - these were the CB's taken:

#4 Cle - Denzel Ward
#18 GB - Jaire Alexander
#30 Min - Mike Hughes
#45 GB - Josh Jackson (Iowa)
#53 TB - MJ Stewart

GB was clearly filling a need, (2 of the top 4 CBs on their draft board), and there is nothing wrong with filling a need, but you wan to draft best player available if it is possible.

I think Xavier McKinney comes closest to doing both, filling a need and taking best player available. Sports Illustrated had a Earl Thomas comparison:

[quote]• One player who got more love than I expected when I was calling around this week: Alabama S Xavier McKinney. I got an Earl Thomas comp out of one of the NFL’s most respected evaluators, and not a lot of disagreement when I ran that by a couple of other veteran evaluators. Another called him “premium … one of the best safeties I’ve ever watched.” Teams love his athleticism and his versatility to play up, back or in the slot. LSU’s Grant Delpit came into the season considered the class’s best safety by a healthy amount, but McKinney has flown by him (part of that, of course, is that Delpit had a shaky final season with the Tigers).[/quote]

I just can't help but wonder if Ruggs III is still there at #17... he sure is fast. I'm not sold on Denver going WR in the first. ATL will not be going WR at 16.... so idk if we should consider Ruggs an option for the Cowboys or not.

Ruggs won't make it past SF.

Could save ourselves from making $150 million dollar deal with Dak if this guy somehow slips to pick #51.

impossible Dak could hold out at that point. he would have zero leverage.

He'd be forced to play out his last year with the Boys @ $33 million w/ Jalen as the back up, then replaced with Jalen's 2nd round 4 year contract the following year.

it would send a horrible message to Dak all season, but from a business point of view it would be the perfect move and could solve almost all our salary cap problems.

I'd rather have Eason. Way more arm talent

Hurts is not an NFL QB

Taysom Hill 2.0 but worse

[b]Report: Tua Tagovailoa off 3 NFL Draft Boards; Injuries Concern Scouts, Execs[/b]
[url]https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2887126-report-tua-tagovailoa-off-3-nfl-draft-boards-injuries-concern-scouts-execs[/url]

[quote]Per The Athletic's Bob McGinn, three teams have taken Tagovailoa off their board entirely due to concerns from scouts and executives about his ability to stay healthy.

Rumblings about Tagovailoa's durability keep getting louder the closer we get to the 2020 NFL draft.

One AFC personnel man told McGinn that Tagovailoa was "a great college player" but added there are "three, four or five red flags staring us all in the face" that make it hard to risk a high pick on him. [/quote]

Tua's stock is falling

I started to think out a mock and then came to the realization that I've now been mentally conditioned to think that the Giants are going to do something way out in left field that no one expects. It ruins my ability to feel confident in a mock.

I don't think Tua is much of a durability risk unless the hip gets broken again. Those are freak accidents.

I think he missed one maybe two college games before the Hip injury.

He's 6 foot 230 pounds, he is a solidly built person. Big lower body, thick build. Those guys usually aren't brittle.

Miami should just take Simmons and Love with the 18th. I'd take those 2 over Tua any day

I'm just praying that somehow the Redskins decide to pass on Chase Young

It really sucks that Dallas is going to have to deal with that monster 2x a year

I saw one mock draft with the Cowboys taking Kenneth Murray at #17. Would be shocked if that happened, but if the Cowboys are going to start implementing more of a 3-4 hybrid defense, and Vander Esch still has injury issues with it being Sean Lee's last year... it's not a horrible pick. We could still survive a major injury at the LB position in 2020 and be ok... We will have to pick up a DB in 2nd or 3rd round.

Kenneth Murray is going to be a beast at LB. Ray Lewis potential.

Cowboys could get their Beasley/Cobb replacement in the 2nd round if they want. KJ Hamler is a good player.

[quote]A massive defensive lineman prospect has attracted the interest of the Green Bay Packers during the pre-draft process.

Alabama defensive lineman Raekwon Davis told Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk that he’s been in regular contact with the Packers and several other teams in recent weeks.

According to Davis, the Packers, San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles have contacted him multiple times.[/quote]

I think Winfield might go to the Chiefs. Swiss army knife secondary player. Covers lots of holes for them.
Darrynton Evans is a nice little sleeper. I hope the Eagles land him. He's got a Chris Johnson running style. He can block too.

[quote]Like everyone else in the football world, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will be at home during the 2020 NFL Draft, which begins tonight at 8 ET.

Goodell will announce every pick from a special make-shift studio in the "man cave" of his Westchester County home in New York, and he gave fans an exclusive tour of his "man cave studio" during today's build up to Round 1.

Goodell will be joined by three other people -- one person manning the table where the picks will come in, an ESPN producer and a camera operator -- but all will be practicing social distancing throughout the draft.

Take a gander at the video below to see the Commish's set up -- which features an exquisite leather chair from where Goodell says he's watched football every fall for roughly the past 30 years.[/quote]
