2020 NFL Draft: Three-round mock draft with player and pick trades

The 2020 NFL Draft is only weeks away. We look at a three-round mock draft scenario filled with big player and pick trades throughout.

The 2020 NFL Draft is already less than three weeks away, and the 2020 free agent signing period is already (mostly) in the rearview.

In what can only be described as the most unique offseason of the last decade or more (maybe ever), the NFL has been the only real source of sports over the course of the past couple of months as COVID-19 has affected the entire world and shut down sports everywhere.

The 2020 NFL Draft will go as planned, even though all of the in-person pieces of the event have been cancelled.

Teams are hoping they will be able to at least gather their top deputies together in the same room, obviously fewer than 10 people, so they can properly execute the plans that have been coming together over the last three-plus months.

It’s going to be strange, and really an unprecedented draft as far as any fan born in the last 30 years can recall, but if the NFL is allowing business as usual, there will be plenty of movement all around the league.

Could we see some big player trades, like Yannick Ngakoue from the Jacksonville Jaguars? What about bold moves for quarterbacks or offensive tackles?

Always expect the unexpected when it comes to the NFL Draft.

Throughout this mock draft, we’re going to explore ideas. Every year, the best you can really hope for from a mock draft, even just the first round, is for maybe 25-25 percent accuracy. Teams put information out there that is sometimes a smokescreen and other times it’s absolute fact.

Just like any mock draft scenario, these are not necessarily ideas of what I would personally do if I were the GM, but what I’m hearing and reading teams will do, and what their tendencies might be based on draft history.

In the end, like a college basketball bracket around March Madness, a mock draft is merely an educated guess. Things will certainly change between now and a little under three weeks from now, but here’s a three-round scenario for all 32 teams.
