Here is my Mock Draft 2.0 which I am very excited to release. This is my first time adding a second round to my mock draft along with my first projected trade as well. There are several changes I have made from my first mock draft and hopefully by adding the second round it makes sense as to why I have made some changes for certain teams. Please enjoy my analysis and reasoning for my first-round picks and I will sprinkle in some analysis for a couple of second round picks.
Mock Draft 1.0
2020
*Note: These picks are made based on what I think the teams should pick. This is from what I have been reading and watching from these players highlights and games from last college football season. I also take into consideration what many other NFL Insiders have to say as they have been talking to scouts and team personnel and get a good feel for what each team is thinking. These are my thoughts after compiling results by watching the pre-draft process unfold this year, which can include the combine, player pro days, watching highlights from the previous college football season and even some previous mock drafts from experts in the field such as ESPN and NFL Network. I hope you enjoy.

*Note: These picks are made based on what I think the teams should pick from what I have been reading from many other NFL Insiders that have been talking to scouts and team personnel along with what it seems most likely teams will be doing with rumors flying around. These are my thoughts after compiling results from previous mock drafts from experts in the field and from watching the pre-draft process unfold this year which includes the combine and player pro days. Please still enjoy as my picks have been well researched.

This will be my first of two mock drafts, one before the NFL Draft Combine and then one after the combine. Picks are scheduled to change after watching how players perform at the combine as measurements and performances have some impact on how teams look at players but they take everything into consideration such as the combine, pro days, interviews and of course extensive tape review. Other forces may change teams needs such as players being released or signed once free agency begins in early March. My second mock draft will be released right before this year’s draft and their will also be a special episode on The Final Final where we will do a mock draft just hours before the draft begins so be sure to tune into that on April 25th from 5-6 p.m. on WSUM 91.7 FM Madison Student Radio and also on our website here at wsum.org/player/. This years NFL Draft begins at 8 p.m. on April 25th.

This was a really fun experience for me to make my own, first ever mock draft for the NFL. I’ve always read a lot of mock drafts that lead up to draft day, but I’ve never been this engaged in the process until I started broadcasting with WSUM, so this was a great experience. Please enjoy.
