The Raiders raid Clemson for big-time help while the Eagles address their ailing secondary in this 2020 NFL Mock Draft at the Divisional playoffs.
For eight teams, winning a Super Bowl is still a possibility as we enter the Divisional Round of the 2020 NFL Playoffs. But for the other three-quarters of the league, the offseason is in full focus, from free agency to the NFL Draft. Thus, prior to Round 2 of the postseason feels like an apt time for another 2020 NFL Mock Draft.
Of course, the heart of the playoffs isn’t the only reason why a new NFL Mock Draft makes sense right now. We also have the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday between LSU and Clemson, a contest littered with high-end draft prospects, from Heisman-winner Joe Burrow to Isaiah Simmons to Grant Delpit to Tee Higgins to many, many more.
Beyond that, we also have seen some crucial draft decisions over the past week. Tua Tagovailoa announced his decision to leave Alabama this past week, as did Crimson Tide wide receiver Henry Ruggs III. Those are two big dominoes to fall in terms of declarations, particularly Tagovailoa a race for his services could cause tremendous chaos early in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
We won’t have any chaos just yet. Because we aren’t yet in the offseason and all 32 picks are not yet set, we won’t be projecting or predicting any trades. Don’t worry, that’ll be coming down the line but the time is not right at this point.
Looking at the whole picture and, again, without trades, let’s dive into a full first round 2020 NFL Mock Draft as the Divisional Round is upon us. The draft order for this mock was determined using the current draft order, meaning the final eight picks are ordered by regular-season record.
