2020 NFL Draft: Post-combine two-round 2020 NFL mock draft with trades
Predicting the 2020 NFL Draft with a two-round NFL mock draft that includes many interesting trades.
All NFL teams and most of the 2020 NFL Draft prospects traveled to Indianapolis last week to take in the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. While in Indy, many prospects were able to improve their 2020 NFL Draft stock while others did not perform as well and saw their stock suffer.
The most important part of evaluating draft prospects is the tape. We need to be able to watch a prospect, form an option and trust that evaluation. The combine is a great tool for us to learn more about a prospect, but do not let yourself get fooled by a strong combine performance. Speed and athleticism are obviously important and we can use athletic testing to help understand what a prospect can do, but in the end, nothing is more important than his on-field performance.
To put it simply, we have to remember to trust the tape and have confidence in our evaluations. Players will go up and down the board throughout the process, but in the end, what we saw them do on the field in college is the most important part of the evaluation.
We are probably too excited about prospects who tested well and are probably too low on guys who did not show well at the combine, but that is all part of the fun. In this 2020 NFL Draft scenario, you will see examples of players whose stocks have rapidly changed in the last week, both for good and bad.
Without further ado, here is a complete two-round 2020 NFL mock draft that also features some interesting trades throughout the entire first round.
