I combined ten popular 2020 NFL mock drafts into one to bring you “my” yearly Mock Draft on Roids series! The No. 1 factor in determining where each player goes is the mode. The mode is basically the most popular position these mock draft experts had that certain player going. The secondary factor I use to determine each player’s draft position is the average.
Some things that stood out to me after looking at several mock drafts and doing my 2020 NFL rookie research:
- Defensive talents A.J. Epenesa and Xavier McKinney could go virtually anywhere from early Round 1 or fall to Round 2
- We all know quarterbacks go early most drafts and they are the most valuable position, but it will be interesting to see where a QB like Justin Herbert will go… possibly Top 6?
- We might see WR Jerry Jeudy go before CeeDee Lamb, and we might see RB D’Andre Swift go before Jonathan Taylor although the public believes Lamb & Taylor are the superior players at there respective positions
