YO I lowkey kinda fuck with evil morph they're a genius. Using Erik to lure out Charles? Their evil little snicker? Adorable by the way. As uncool as it is, the way they trick gambit AND rouge into being powerless, the way they trick jubilee and send her naive butt away to the most dangerous place she could be, using storm, a natural materinal figure to her all while insisting she's big enough to do it on on her own? Purposly waiting until Wolverine is gone knowing he could smell them and would kick their ass so fast. How they waited until Jean and Scott was gone. Preoccupying Beast? Truely, this evil little shit had the best plan and I am here for it.

AJ’s Analysis- Week Two Preview⚡️: Chargers at Panthers

Disclaimer: I am a Chargers fan so this will obviously be biased BUT I have been a football fan for the last 12 years and absolutely love dissecting the game and making comments so I figured I would give this a try! Please feel free to make comments and let me know your thoughts in my inbox!

Players to watch:

Carolina

#9 Bryce Young QB- Alabama- Year 2

Struggled throughout his rookie year last year after winning the Heisman his sophomore year of college. Finished his college career with 8356 passing yards, 80 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and 7 rushing touchdowns, making him the number one pick in last year’s draft. Threw 13/30 for 161 yards and 2 interceptions last week. Looking for redemption in week 2.

#6 Miles Sanders RB- Penn State- Year 6

In his second season with the Panthers after spending the first four with the Eagles, Sanders is looking for his identity in Carolina. His best season was 2022 with the Eagles where they went to the Super Bowl and he had his first 1000 yard rushing season, rushing for 1,269 yards and 11 TDs. Last season Sanders only had 432 rushing yards and 1 touchdown over 16 games. Maybe this will be his redemption season? Hopefully for him it’ll be better than last week’s performance of 5 carries for 22 yards.

#19 Adam Thielen WR- Minnesota State- Year 11

Also in his second season as a Panther, after nine years with the Vikings. Coming off of his third 1000 yard receiving season and has been selected to two pro bowls. Last week he had four targets, for 49 yards so tomorrow could easily be a big day for him.

#17 Xavier Legette WR- South Carolina- Year 1

He’s viral on Twitter (I’m not calling it X ever in my life) for his country accent but the rookie receiver is extremely talented. In 2023 with South Carolina he had 1,255 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. If he and his qb really start to click he could easily take off. His debut numbers last week, 7 targets for 35 yards.

#54 Shaq Thompson LB- Washington- Year 10

Credited for ten tackles last week and nobody else on defense really seemed to have done much because the Saints scored 47 points.

Los Angeles

#10 Justin Herbert QB- Oregon- Year 5🩵

17/26 for 144 passing yards and 1 TD last week which is great that he didn’t have to carry the team and still get a win. Looking for the passing game to open up a bit, more third down conversions and just better overall communication between him and his receivers.

#11 Cameron Dicker Kicker- Texas- Year 3

Perfect Prince. You guys know.

#76 Joe Alt RT- Notre Dame- Year 1

Monster debut. Proved to the people that he was worth the fifth overall pick. Looking for another great game from the rookie!

#3 Derwin James Jr. S- Florida State- Year 7

This man is very special to me. Didn’t include him in the preview last week because I thought it was getting too long but here it is!! He was the highest paid safety in the league last year and for good reason. 2 time first team all pro, 3 time pro bowler had 125 total tackles last season, 2 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and 1 interception. Like I said, he’s the moment.

#95 Poona Ford DT- Texas- Year 7

Special shoutout to the 5’11, 310 pound defensive tackle that had an interception last week in his Chargers debut. The entire defense was so impressive compared to years past which isn’t saying much because they really couldn’t stop anyone last year especially BUT new year, new defensive coordinator and new attitude.

#27 JK Dobbins RB- Ohio State- Year 5

10 carries for 135 yards and 1 TD last week. The Panthers should be looking to shut him down…Will they?

WR Room

#9 DJ Chark, out. #5 Josh Palmer, hurt. #1 Quentin Johnston, scares me most of the time but last week he didn’t hurt me too badly so I’m gonna be nice. #15 Ladd McCkonkey, sweetie pie with a timely touchdown in his NFL debut. #82 Brenden Rice could very well be making his debut tomorrow with these injuries. Looking for this collective unit to contribute a lot more throughout the season so tomorrow is a big test.

Other notes:

- If the chargers win they’ll be 2-0 for the first time since 2012. Justin was a freshman in high school playing JV then.

- The Carolina Panthers record since 2019 is 24-60, worst in the NFL but they should not be taken lightly. Anyone can lose on any given day.

Happy week 2 and BOLT UP!!!

The relationship of Charles and Jean and her biological father in one line:

He may have been your father girl, but he wasn't your daddy.

I live for beautiful parent-child relationships and if adoption is involved I love them even more 😢

2020 NFL Mock Draft-FINAL

April 22, 2020

 ROUND ONE

1. Cincinnati - QB Sam Burrow, LSU

They might as well start working on the contract now. It’s been a long time since we had a slam-dunk pick like this one. The team will need to focus on acquiring an offensive line to keep him from a David Carr-style early collapse though.

 2. Washington – DE Chase Young, Ohio State

I’m still not 100% convinced the Redskins won’t trade this pick away, but if they hold on to it, they’d be ridiculous to pass on hometown guy Chase Young. He’d be an instant star in Washington, which is exactly what they need to start luring fans back into the stadium.

 3. Miami (PROJ. TRADE W/DET) – OT Andrew Thomas, Georgia

Tristan Wirfs and Mekhi Becton were the stars of the Combine, but that’s not what motivates front offices. They want someone who’s excelled on the field, over and over again. Wirfs certainly qualifies there, but Andrew Thomas has been a star at both right and left tackle practically since he first suited up for Georgia. Don’t be surprised if he’s the first tackle off the board this year. Miami gives up picks #5 and 18 to move up two spots).

 4. NY Giants – OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa

This could be an epic run on tackles starting here. Wirfs can excel at any spot on the offensive line, but the Giants may need his help at left tackle sooner than later.

 5. Detroit (PROJ. TRADE W/MIA) – DT Derrick Brown, Auburn

Detroit could do any number of things with this pick, but I like the current rumor that they’re very intrigued by Derrick Brown. He’s one of my favorite players in this draft, and if you fall in love with a prospect, you take him and damn the criticism.

 6. LA Chargers – QB Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama +

No one expects him to start immediately in LA, where Tyrod Taylor is well liked by the coaching staff. But like his tenure with the Browns, Taylor’s time in the starting role will be short lived. Tua can be brought along slowly as he adjusts to the pro game and heals from his hip injury.

 7. Carolina – CB Jeffrey Okudah, Ohio State

Carolina parted ways with James Bradberry, so they make up for his departure with Okudah, clearly the top CB available this year. If he lasts until pick #7, this will be a steal for the team.

 8. Arizona – OT Jedrick Wills, Jr., Alabama

Kyler Murray is great at running for his life, but he shouldn’t have to. They did re-sign LT D.J. Humphries to a new deal – but only a one-year contract with RT Marcus Gilbert. They seem to have decided to part ways with free agents Jordan Mills and A.Q. Shipley. And in 2021, J.R. Sweezy’s contract expires too.  Loading up on offensive linemen would be a good idea. Wills could either serve as a reserve swing tackle his first year, or they could move Gilbert to guard and insert Wills at right tackle.

 9. Jacksonville – LB Isaiah Simmons, Clemson

Jacksonville needs help at multiple positions, so why not grab the best player available. Simmons might not fit the team’s most immediate needs, but he’s the sort of dynamic playmaker you rebuild your defense around. Whether he lines up at Will or safety, he’ll have an immediate impact with a clever defensive staff.

 10. Cleveland – OT Mekhi Becton, Louisville *

The Browns made a horrible mistake by ignoring their problems at offensive line in the 2019 off-season. They gambled and lost on left tackle bust Greg Robinson (who is currently in legal trouble for allegedly being in possession of a ridiculous amount of pot). Time to correct that mistake. Becton enters the NFL with questions about possible drug use, but that’s nothing new for the Browns.

 11. NY Jets – WR CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma

The Jets have been targeting left tackles since early in the pre-draft process, but they don’t pull the trigger on a trade up to acquire one of the blue-chip candidates. CeeDee Lamb ain’t a bad fall-back option though.

 12. Las Vegas – WR Henry Ruggs III, Alabama

You need to be flashy if you want to stand out in Las Vegas. There is no player with better big-play potential this year than Ruggs. In a nod to former owner Al Davis, the team eschews the more polished route runner in his teammate Jerry Jeudy for the speediest player available at his position. Ruggs is more than just a fast receiver though; he’s got amazingly-reliable hands.

 13. San Francisco (THRU IND) – WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama

Losing Emmanuel Sanders hurts a little bit, but the pain recedes when Jerry Jeudy comes to town. Perhaps the best pure receiver in the draft, and he lands with the NFC Champions.

 14. Atlanta (PROJ. TRADE W/TB) – CB C.J. Henderson, Florida

The Falcons move up two spots to snag Henderson away from Denver (they sacrifice pick #95 in the 3rd round to move up). They’ve coveted both Henderson and Jeff Okudah for a while now, and while they don’t possess the ammo to get up for Okudah, they pounce when they see Henderson drop this far.

 15. Denver – LB Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma

The Broncos very much wanted to land one of the top cornerbacks, but Atlanta snaked the last one away. Kenneth Murray is a player coaches can easily fall in love with though. He’s brilliant on the field but he’s even more valuable as a motivational team member. He’s got leadership skills like Jamal Adams and he seems destined to be a great coach someday.

 16. Tampa Bay (PROJ. TRADE W/ATL) – DT Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina

With Tampa spending their free agency dollars on offensive players, they need to focus most of their attention in the draft on that horrid defense. Kinlaw can provide a serious push from the inside to help out the edge players, and he’s got some run-stopping talents to boot.

 17. Dallas – CB A.J. Terrell, Clemson

The Cowboys got hit hard by free agency this year, and 2021 won’t be much easier. They need youth at multiple positions. Start with trying to replace Byron Jones in the defensive backfield. Terrell has great length, speed and experience at a winning program.

 18. Detroit (PROJ. TRADE W/ MIA THRU PIT) – DE/LB K’Lavon Chaisson, LSU

The Lions continue to rebuild their defensive line with an outside pass-rush threat to complement the interior push provided by Derrick Brown. Chaisson on one side and Trey Flowers on the other could be a disruptive force.

 19. Las Vegas (THRU CHI) – LB Patrick Queen, LSU

The Raiders go offense with their first pick; now, the defense. Queen can man the weak side of the linebacking corps and pair with newcomer Cory Littleton to form a speedy, lithe combination.

 20. Jacksonville (THRU LAR) – WR Justin Jefferson, LSU

The Jaguars have many needs, so they could go in any number of directions. Bolstering the receiving corps makes sense though. Jefferson paired with D.J. Chark could prove to be tough to defend.

 21. Philadelphia - S Xavier McKinney, Alabama

The Eagles have many needs along the defensive backfield as free agency is hitting them hard this year and next. McKinney and Grant Delpit are far and away this year’s best safeties; either one could go here.

 22. Minnesota (THRU BUF) – DE A.J. Epenesa, Iowa

Everson Griffen opted out of his current contract, and he’s now entering his 11th year in the league. There is no obvious starting talent on the roster to replace him. Even if the Vikings bring him back on a 1-year deal, having a developmental guy like Epenesa in a rotation behind him makes total sense.

 23. New England - QB Justin Herbert, Oregon

Herbert is a reluctant passer, so I’m not 100% sure he’ll be a fit for Belichick, but the Pats have never been shy about gambling on draft picks. The Pats stick with Jarrett Stidham (at least for now) as the starter until they can assess Herbert’s ability to read a defense and deliver a ball with confidence and anticipation.

 24. Indianapolis (PROJECTED TRADE W/NO) – QB Jordan Love, Utah State

Indy sees Herbert finally go off the board, and they can’t wait anymore to grab their favorite QB. They find a willing trade partner in New Orleans; they have the fewest picks in the draft this year, so they’re happy to trade out of the first and accumulate some extra selections (the Saints get Indy’s #34 and 75 picks). The Colts hope Love can develop behind Jacoby Brissett and Philip Rivers – both are only likely to stick around for one year.

 25. Minnesota - WR Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State

The Vikings need to replace Stefon Diggs quickly if they want to take advantage of an AFC East without Tom Brady.  Aiyuk can slide into the starting lineup immediately.

 26. Miami (THRU HOU) - RB J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State

Jordan Howard is not a long-term option, and Kalen Ballage has fallen out of favor. The Dolphins want to bolster their backfield, and Dobbins is a darkhorse candidate to be the first RB off the board. Though he shouldn’t be. In hindsight, Dobbins will appear to be the obvious choice here.

 27. Seattle - CB Trevon Diggs, Alabama

The Seahawks need to get back to their Legion of Doom ideals and draft big DBs again. At 6’1”, Diggs will hope to satisfy their craving for a Richard Sherman-type cover corner.

 28. Baltimore - C Cesar Ruiz, Michigan

I love a good curveball. Ruiz displayed tremendous skills at the Combine and made a strong case that he’s the top pure interior lineman available this year. With the retirement of Marshal Yanda, there is a serious need along the offensive line.

 29. Tennessee - CB Jaylon Johnson, Utah

With Logan Ryan in question and Malcom Butler wearing out his welcome, the Titans need to dip into the draft to solve their cornerback problems.

 30. Green Bay - DT Ross Blacklock, TCU

The Packers have had serious problems stopping the run recently. Blacklock has an amazing motor and is highly prized among scouts.

 31. LA Chargers (PROJ. TRADE W/SF) - RB D’Andre Swift, Georgia

The Chargers want to get ahead of Kansas City for their preferred replacement for Melvin Gordon (they give up pick #112 in the fourth round as well as #37).

 32. Kansas City - RB Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin

Kansas City needs more help along the defense obviously, but Taylor put to bed the notion that he has too much tread on his tires with an amazing Combine workout.

Here’s our first 2-round NFL mock draft of the season

Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images

Goodbye, Super Bowl. Hello, draft season.

The Super Bowl is, like, old news. All that matters now is the 2020 NFL Draft. Well, that and free agency, the future of Tom Brady, a potential new collective bargaining agreement, and contracts for big-name players like Drew Brees, Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, Jadeveon Clowney, and Byron Jones.

Phew.

But who are we kidding, the draft is what matters the most. So this week, with draft season officially underway, we look at what could happen in the first two rounds, with a possible twist developing with the No. 1 pick.

1. Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU

Are things getting interesting with the first overall pick in the draft? Burrow said on The Dan Patrick Show that he wants to play for a team “committed to winning Super Bowls.” Former Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer said Cincinnati never really tried to win a Super Bowl. The deeper connection between the two is that Carson Palmer’s brother, Jordan Palmer, is training Burrow in the pre-draft process. Burrow is still the prohibitive favorite, but this is an interesting quarter turn.

2. Washington: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State

There is seemingly less intrigue with the second pick than the first. We haven’t heard from Young in some time, and he’s not the type to slate teams anyway. This is one of the easiest picks to project ever.

3. Detroit Lions: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn

For as easy as it is to predict Young to Washington, it’s still difficult to get a grasp on what the Lions could do with the third overall pick. This could be a spot for a trade up if Miami gets anxious about missing out on Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Lions could also go a few different directions if they make the pick. This week, it’s Brown, the brutish defensive lineman who pushes blockers around with ease.

4. New York Giants: Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama

Wills is a pro-ready run blocker, which is a good thing for a franchise that took a running back with the second overall pick in the draft two years ago. And while he’s not quite as accomplished as a pass blocker, Wills’ athleticism leads you to believe he should develop just fine in that area.

5. Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama

The Dolphins need Tagovailoa, even if he sits a season behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. The question is whether or not they’ll take him at No. 5. With three first-round picks this year, the Dolphins have plenty of ammunition to do whatever they want.

6. Los Angeles Chargers: Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa

Let’s go full weird with this one and say the Chargers somehow land Tom Brady. It’s ridiculous, of course, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport floated the possibility. If that’s the case, the Chargers could wait yet again to draft a quarterback early. Then, landing Wirfs would be smart. He can slide right into the right tackle spot and finally solve the problematic position for the Chargers.

7. Carolina Panthers: Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson

The Panthers have had either or both of Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly at linebacker since 2005, but now Carolina goes into the offseason needing to address the position. Davis left last year and Kuechly shocked people by retiring on Jan. 14. Simmons, while not a traditional middle linebacker, would make for a nice partnership with Shaq Thompson.

8. Arizona Cardinals: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville

Becton in the top 10 and over Andrew Thomas of Georgia might seem strange, but don’t discount it. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah rates Becton far ahead of Thomas, and he might not be alone.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State

If Okudah drops this far, the Jaguars would pass on offensive and defensive linemen for him. Okudah is a day one starter, which the Jaguars need at cornerback. Other than A.J. Bouye, Jacksonville doesn’t have much at the position.

10. Cleveland Browns: Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia

The Browns need a player like Thomas. In the two years since Joe Thomas retired, the Browns have been an inconsistent mess at left tackle. Andrew Thomas is arguably the best pure left tackle in this draft, and he would help jumpstart a Cleveland offense that was spotty last season.

11. New York Jets: Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

During the draft process, there is often fluctuation on where we think the wide receivers will get drafted. In 2018, for instance, DJ Moore vaulted over Calvin Ridley to be the first wide receiver selected. If there’s a wide receiver who could jump to the front of the line this year, it might be Ruggs. Even though he was Alabama’s third-leading receiver in 2019, his speed could help him separate from the pack of first-round receivers.

12. Las Vegas Raiders: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon

If the Raiders decide to move on from Derek Carr this offseason, they could begin their era in Las Vegas with a rookie quarterback. It’s never been Jon Gruden’s nature to rely on rookie quarterbacks, but he might not be able to resist an athletic 6’6 signal caller.

13. Indianapolis Colts: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

If Ruggs is the first wide receiver taken, it will lead to a domino effect with the next few wide receivers after him. Even if Lamb gets jumped over by someone else, it’s difficult to see him falling outside the top 15. The Colts could be a landing spot as they look to add a receiving weapon to pair with T.Y. Hilton. Now if only they could find someone to throw the ball.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina

The Buccaneers may have just taken Vita Vea in the first round two years ago and allowed the fewest rushing yards per game last season, but they could be in need of a defensive lineman. Tampa has several free agents up front, including interior linemen Beau Allen and Ndamukong Suh, and edge players Shaq Barrett and Carl Nassib. Kinlaw is a combination lineman with his size and power to play the run, and athleticism to get after the quarterback.

15. Denver Broncos: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama

Even if they don’t get Ruggs, the Broncos would do well with another Alabama wide receiver in this draft. Jeudy isn’t the flashiest, but he’s a consistent receiver who makes defensive backs look foolish with his quick cuts on routes.

16. Atlanta Falcons: A.J. Epenesa, DE, Iowa

If Epenesa had better sack numbers last season, his draft buzz might be louder. But after being asked to set the edge and play the run more, he proved his worth as an all-around defensive end.

17. Dallas Cowboys: Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama

McKinney over LSU’s Grant Delpit might seem surprising, but the feeling on this year’s two top safeties could go back-and-forth in the lead up to the draft. McKinney is a capable coverage safety and in nickel situations will come down and play linebacker. While he’s not quite on Simmons’ level in that regard, McKinney’s skill set is attractive.

18. Miami Dolphins (via Pittsburgh Steelers): Josh Jones, OT, Houston

With six picks in the top 70, the Dolphins have a chance to rebuild their entire franchise this offseason. Pairing Tagovailoa with a left tackle like Jones would give Miami an identity on offense.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (via Chicago Bears): Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Colorado

The Raiders want speed on the outside to take some pressure off running back Josh Jacobs and tight end Darren Waller. That could eliminate Tennessee’s Tee Higgins and LSU’s Justin Jefferson. While both are good receivers, neither is a burner. Even at 6’2 and 220 pounds, Shenault has speed. He’s versatile too. In Colorado, he worked outside and at slot, but also lined up at running back and wildcat quarterback.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars: (via Los Angeles Rams): Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson

After DJ Chark, Jacksonville’s wide receivers are confounding. Chris Conley, the team’s second-leading receiver, caught only 47 of 90 targets this season, which is miserable. Dede Westbrook has caught 66 passes on 101 targets in each of the last two seasons, but only averaged 10 yards per catch in 2019. Higgins is a big-bodied receiver who knows how to go up and get the ball, and is hard to take down after the catch.

21. Philadelphia Eagles: CJ Henderson, CB, Florida

Although the Eagles need to address wide receiver, cornerback is arguably just as big of a hole. Henderson is a man coverage ace who rarely allows first downs and can lock down his side of the field.

22. Buffalo Bills: K’Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU

Chaisson is something of a one-trick pony, but that trick is a good one. He is almost exclusively a standup speed rusher off the edge. He doesn’t play with a lot of power or technique. But when you can fly past blockers, you don’t need those things.

23. New England Patriots: Terrell Lewis, Edge, Alabama

If Tom Brady leaves New England, this becomes the most fascinating pick of the first round. You just have to wonder if, at 67 years old, Bill Belichick will want to try and make a go of things with a rookie quarterback. Instead, he could lean into what he knows best by taking a versatile pass rusher like Lewis, who was coached up by someone Belichick trusts in Nick Saban.

24. New Orleans Saints: Jordan Love, QB, Utah State

Somehow, somewhere Love should land in the first round. The fifth year of control on a rookie contract quarterback is just too valuable for it not to happen. Especially regarding a quarterback who might be best served sitting a season to refine his immense talent.

25. Minnesota Vikings: Austin Jackson, OT, USC

This is a pick I’m stuck on, even if it’s this deep into the first round. Jackson is one of the best pass blocking left tackles in this draft thanks to quick feet that help him mirror speed rushers and ride them around the pocket. Kirk Cousins will like that.

26. Miami Dolphins (via Houston Texans): Grant Delpit, S, LSU

If Delpit drops in the draft, the Dolphins shouldn’t hesitate to take him with their third first-round pick. Miami has to make several upgrades to the secondary, and Delpit can help fix a middling, at best, pass coverage unit.

27. Seattle Seahawks: Julian Okwara, Edge, Notre Dame

Okwara may not be a freaky speed rusher like Chaisson, and some prefer fellow Irish pass rusher Khalid Kareem, but he has size and good enough athleticism. Most importantly for Seattle is that Okwara has length at 6’5 and can keep blockers out of his pads. With the right coaching, he can be a steal.

28. Baltimore Ravens: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

With MVP Lamar Jackson, the Ravens will go into the 2020 season as one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl. For the most part, the Ravens are set on offense with one glaring problem. That would be a No. 1 wide receiver. Marquise Brown is a good player, but maybe not a lead target. Jefferson could be.

29. Tennessee Titans: Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

Murray may not be a traditional pass-rushing linebacker, but he can do enough to be a worthwhile pick for the Titans. Murray has good speed for a linebacker and can be an asset on blitzes.

30. Green Bay Packers: Patrick Queen, LB, LSU

Packers linebacker Blake Martinez is a free agent, and Green Bay could let the tackling machine walk. While his tackle numbers are impressive — an incredible 443 the last three seasons — he just doesn’t make a lot of splash impact plays. Instead of paying him, the Packers could replace him with Queen, a high-level athlete with range.

31. San Francisco 49ers: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

If the Super Bowl showed one thing about San Francisco’s defense, the team has some questionable play at cornerback. Diggs is a little raw, but it’s hard to say no to a 6’2 cornerback with athleticism and physicality.

32. Kansas City Chiefs: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

While Chris Jones is Kansas City’s biggest free agent, it cannot be discounted that the team could lose cornerbacks Bashaud Breeland and Kendall Fuller this offseason. If either is gone, and there’s a little run on linebackers late in the first round, the Chiefs could turn to Fulton.

SECOND ROUND

33. Cincinnati Bengals: Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State

34. Indianapolis Colts (via Washington): Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma

35. Detroit Lions: Jeff Gladney, CB, TCU

36. New York Giants: Zack Baun, LB, Wisconsin

37. Los Angeles Chargers: Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah

38. Carolina Panthers: Jacob Eason, QB, Washington

39. Miami Dolphins: D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia

40. Arizona Cardinals: Marlon Davidson, DL, Auburn

41. Cleveland Browns: Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn

42. Jacksonville Jaguars: Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia

43. Chicago Bears (via Las Vegas Raiders): Cole Kmet, TE, Notre Dame

44. Indianapolis Colts: Yetur Gross-Matos, Edge, Penn State

45. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Lucas Niang, OT, TCU

46. Denver Broncos: A.J. Terrell, CB, Clemson

47. Atlanta Falcons: Lloyd Cushenberry, OG/C, LSU

48. New York Jets: Josh Uche, Edge, Michigan

49. Pittsburgh Steelers: Hunter Bryant, TE, Washington

50. Chicago Bears: Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia

51. Dallas Cowboys: Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU

52. Los Angeles Rams: Curtis Weaver, Edge, Boise State

53. Philadelphia Eagles: K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State

54. Buffalo Bills: Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU

55. Atlanta Falcons (via New England Patriots): Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio State

56. Miami Dolphins (via New Orleans Saints): Khalid Kareem, Edge, Notre Dame

57. Houston Texans: J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State

58. Minnesota Vikings: Cameron Dantzler, CB, Mississippi State

59. Seattle Seahawks: Adam Trautman, TE, Dayton

60. Baltimore Ravens: Jonathan Greenard, Edge, Florida

61. Tennessee Titans: Raekwon Davis, DL, Alabama

62. Green Bay Packers: Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Michigan

63. Kansas City Chiefs (via San Francisco 49ers): Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU

64. Seattle Seahawks (via Kansas City Chiefs): Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia

New Post has been published on https://www.packernet.com/blog/2020/01/23/2020-nfl-mock-draft-3-0-with-trades/

2020 NFL Mock Draft 3.0 - With Trades

This mock is done using the latest news and rumors as well as my very own proprietary consensus big board, which aggregates all the top big boards around the internet into one board. To see the board, sign up as a Patreon for as little as a dollar per month here.

Cincinatti Bengals Joe Burrow QB LSU

This is essentially already a done deal. The Bengals haven’t had meetings so discussions will take place but from everything I’ve heard, you can lock this in.

Washington Redskins Chase Young EDGE Ohio State

This is also essentially a forgone conclusion. Not much to really debate. Chase is the top prospect this year. We all saw what Bosa did for the 49ers. The Redskins are taking Young.

TRADE: Miami Dolphins Tua Tagovailoa QB Alabama Lions receive Dolphins picks 5 and 26

There is a lot of talk that the Dolphins will want to load up and ensure they get their guy, Tua. The Lions are an ideal team to trade back just 2 spots. It ensures they still get an elite player and secures a 2nd 1st round pick.

As for Miami, they can ensure they get a QB and still have their 2nd 1st round pick to help build the team around Tua.

New York Giants Jeffrey Okudah CB Ohio State

As much as I’d love to go in another direction, our trio of Sam Beal, Corey Ballentine, and Deandre Baker might be the worst in all of football. All 3 are 1st year guys and Beal and Ballentine missed a combined 13 games so there could be some progress there but this unit is straight up garbage. We need help badly.

Detroit Lions (Via MIA) Derrick Brown DL Auburn

Picking up an additional 1st round pick means we can go BPA here and that would be Derrick Brown, a guy that will help out a struggling DL and a line that will likely lose Mike Daniels and possibly Damon Harrison who is said to be contemplating retirement.

LA Chargers Justin Herbert QB Oregon

Rivers has already packed his stuff and moved to Florida so a reunion with the Chargers is very close to 0. There is some talk they may sign a veteran like Cam or Mariota but that still wouldn’t rule out a QB pick here.

Carolina Panthers Andrew Thomas OT Georgia

Simmons makes some sense with Luke leaving but Thomas is being talked about as one of the best tackles in the last decade. This is a pure talent pick.

As a side note, if I had a QB in reach I would go QB, but I don’t.

Arizona Cardinals Jedrick Wills OT Alabama

Again I was looking hard at Simmons but we need to help our QB and the OL is sub par and aging. Let’s actually get a top tier blind side blocker.

Jacksonville Jaguars Isaiah Simmons LB Clemson

The Jaguars are the beneficiaries of the two tackles that went and can now get a top LB. Assuming they put him at LB… the guy does everything.

Cleveland Browns Tristan Wirfs OT Iowa

The Browns OL colapsed in on itself like a dying star in 2019. The right side of the line is the worst part of it which is exactly where Wirfs will slot in.

TRADE: Indianapolis Colts Jerry Jeudy WR Alabama Colts offer up Picks 112 (4th) and 171 (6th)

Tony Pauline said he expects the Jets to trade back. A likely partner, with Jeudy on the board, would be a WR hungry team that wants to jump the Raiders who 100% would take him.

TY Hilton is 30 as spent half the year hurt, Funchess is on the way out, and Chester Rodgers and Dontrell Inman are also free agents.

Las Vegas Raiders Ceedee Lamb WR Oklahoma

It might seem insignificant with the Raiders getting a WR anyway but I’m willing to bet the Raiders are seething. Happy, but seething.

New York Jets (Via IND) A.J. Epenesa EDGE Iowa

There’s some talk about an Epenesa slide due to him being a better 3-4 DE than 4-3 DE but 13 is slide enough and the Jets are a 3-4 defense so it works out however we choose to use him. Which is great cause we need some pass rush help.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Javon Kinlaw DL South Carolina

Suh will likely be a cap casualty for the Bucs and finding a replacement will be a high priority. They may look to QB like Eason later but not here and I would also keep my eye on RB if they don’t go after Lev Bell… but again not at 14 overall.

Denver Broncos Kristian Fulton CB LSU

Even if Chris Harris stays (unlikely) he’s beginning to fall off at 30 years old. Behind him is no real talent at all. Fangio needs his guy.

Atlanta Falcons K’Lavon Chaisson EDGE LSU

The Falcons have to find a way to get to the QB and Tak McKinley doesn’t seem to be the solution.

Dallas Cowboys Grant Delpit S LSU

The Cowboys have been scratching and clawing for safeties so I’m going to stay the course here. How FA goes for the Cowboys though makes a big difference, especially the guys they choose NOT to keep, but for the information I have now I’m going with Delpit.

Miami Dolphins (Via PIT) Mekhi Becton OT Louisville

I don’t know why they traded away their OT but now they need one to protect their new QB. Enter Becton who should be an upgrade over Davenport.

Las Vegas Raiders (Via CHI) Kenneth Murray LB Oklahoma

The linebackers are a mess in Oakland. We tried Burfict but that ended exactly how you would expect. We need to make an effort to get talent at LB.

TRADE: Green Bay Packers Henry Ruggs WR Alabama Jaguars receive picks 94 (3rd) and 172 (6th via Ty Montgomery)

I promise this isn’t just because I’m a Packers fan. The Jags have needs that fit much better later in the round so a trade back makes sense. Henry Ruggs is 13th on the board so the value is ridiculous. The Saints make sense but they have no draft capital. The Ravens already have a burner so Ruggs makes no sense, so the next logical team is the Packers who give up a 3rd and their extra 6th to move up and get a legit deep threat but one that’s also a talented receiver, unlike the Janis, MVS, and Davis squad.

Ruggs has legitimate Tyreek Hill upside.

Philadelphia Eagles Trevon Diggs CB Alabama

The eagles are going heavy after corners and are rumored to be looking in FA but until they actually pull the trigger, I’m looking for a corner in the draft.

Buffalo Bills Tyler Biadasz IOL Wisconsin

It’s a bit of a reach on my board which usually means I’m looking to trade back but I don’t want to lose Biadasz here. our OL needs help and Quinton Spain is a 28 year old free agent that I have no intention of paying to stick around.

New England Patriots Laviska Shenault WR Colorado

The Pats took a WR in the first round last year but still need help there. They were also the only team with the ability to make Cordarrelle Patterson look like a legitimate weapon and could probably do some special things with a guy like Shenault.

New Orleans Saints C.J. Henderson CB Florida

I would love to get a WR2 but we can get that later. Right now I’m looking at a CB group who, outside of Lattimore, are made up of 31 year old Janoris Jenkins, and 3 corners that are currently FAs (Apple, Williams, and Badermosi). The only other guy is Patrick Robinson who spent about as many weeks injured as he did on the field.

TRADE: Kansas City Chiefs D’Andre Swift RB Georgia Vikings receive pick 95 (3rd)

Trading up for a RB seems silly but think about the lack of talent at RB the Chiefs have, how good they would be with an elite RB, and the fact that Swift is our 19th overall player and it becomes somewhat of a no brainer.

The Vikings were pretty desperate to move back to be able to get a player of need at a better value.

Detroit Lions (Via MIA, via HOU) Xavier McKinney S Alabama

I wanted so badly for someone to trade up and take McKinney, who is an unbelievable talent, to make it to 26 but nobody could or would be willing. Instead the Lions let him fall. To think they turn their 1 pick in 2020 into Derrick Brown and Xavier McKinney is pretty remarkable.

They do have a decent pair in Walker and Wilson but Wilson is a 29 year old FA. We’ll probably keep him and look to use one of our safeties to help our garbage LBs.

If you still aren’t sold call him a Quandre Diggs replacement and know that several scouts now have him above Grant Delpit.

Seattle Seahawks Yetur Gross-Matos EDGE Penn State

Trading up for McKinney was a thought but we are on the verge of a pass rush crisis. Even if we can afford to keep Clowney; Ansah, Jackson, Watson, and Jefferson are all free agents in addition to Clowney and Jarran Reed on the interior is a FA.

Literally 7 of our 13 guys along the line are FAs, and 2 of the 6 remaining are only signed through 2020, leaving only Mone, Green, Christmas, and Collier.

Not great Bob.

Baltimore Ravens Tee Higgins WR Clemson

You wouldn’t know it based on offensive production but this WR group is actually kind of terrible. Outside of rookie Hollywood Brown, I’m not sure any of the other guys pass as even mediocre. Pairing Higgins with speedster Brown in this offense is just a horrifying thought.

Tennessee Titans Jordan Love QB Utah State

This isn’t meant to be a Tannehill replacement in year one but let’s face it, if we resign Tannehill it’s not so he can be our guy for 10 years. Love is said to be a little raw and in need of tutelage. Veteran Tannehill will be able to show the kid the ropes and let him take over in a year or so.

As for the lack of quarterbacks in the mock, just know that I am sticking to my board which, despite all the talk of a QB run, nobody seems to want to back it up by putting Love or any other QB’s in the top 25/32 of their boards.

Love is also having a rough start to his Senior Bowl which enhances the feeling he will need to sit which in turn will cause him to slide in the draft.

Jacksonville Jaguars (Via GB) Austin Jackson OT USC

The Jags drafted a stud RB and have let him die on an offense with no OL, no QB, and no WR’s. Supposedly he’s supposed to do everything himself.

With Chark and Minshew now adding a little something, let’s build up this OL and make this a balanced offensive attack in which Fournette can have the opportunity to be a Derrick Henry for the Jags.

Minnesota Vikings Bryce Hall CB Virginia

Giant reach but this is a no brainer. the Vikings need corner help. Maybe I would have budged on a lineman but none of those are available either. Hey, you win some and lose some on these trades, this wasn’t great for value but we still got extra picks.

San Francisco 49ers Jalen Reagor WR TCU

Ya we could pay to keep Emanuel Sanders as he’s about to turn 33 but how about we replace him in the draft with a much cheaper, younger, and faster Jalen Reagor?

Check out our latest NFL mock draft right here

Everyone has Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, and Justin Herbert in the first round. But is there a surprise QB?

There is only one game left in the NFL season, with the Kansas City Chiefs slated to play the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. If that has you down, attention will soon shift to the 2020 NFL Draft.

This week’s mock draft goes back to Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa landing in the top five, and Joe Burrow and Chase Young going No. 1 and 2, respectively. But there are plenty of different possibilities projected. That includes a new quarterback landing in the first round.

1. Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU

There have been a couple developments with the first pick in the draft. The first being that, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bengals have no intention of trading the No. 1 selection. Of course, if the Bengals were truly trading open to trading it, letting it out this early would kill some of the return in value.

The second development was that Burrow doesn’t like Cincinnati’s famously disgusting Skyline chili. That take alone warrants the No. 1 pick.

2. Washington: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State

To my knowledge, Young has not weighed in on Washington’s culinary scene. Getting jacked with Arnold Schwarzenegger is kinda fun, though.

Look, Washington is going to take Young second overall unless something insane happens. I have to find new ways to say why every week until the draft.

3. Detroit Lions: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn

The Lions could go a number of ways with the third pick, and that could spark a trade-down scenario. That will be explored in a future mock draft — in two weeks actually, so mark your calendar. If the Lions can move around and still land Brown, they should do it. Head coach Matt Patricia stressed getting pressure up the middle, and Brown can destroy a pocket.

4. New York Giants: Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson

Simmons officially joined the draft pool on Saturday and is poised to be a high pick. He can dominate games from various parts of the field and was arguably the best player in the national title game last week after Burrow.

5. Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama

Last week’s mock draft explored the idea of what could happen if Tagovailoa falls because of injury concerns. Let’s check out some feedback:

My heart is just shattered. Anyway, as the draft process drags on, we’ll learn more about the truth of Tagovailoa’s health status. That will prove whether or not he slides, gets picked fifth overall, or goes even higher in a trade-up scenario.

6. Los Angeles Chargers: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon

Philip Rivers is moving his army of a family to Florida, so let the baseless speculation commence. Sure, you can argue that the Chargers should fix their woeful offensive line before gambling on a first-round quarterback. But if they fall in love with Herbert, this pick won’t be a shock.

7. Carolina Panthers: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State

With James Bradberry and Ross Cockrell both entering free agency, the Panthers have a large hole in the secondary. Drafting for need this high usually isn’t smart, but Okudah is one of the draft’s top players who can make an impact early in his career.

8. Arizona Cardinals: Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia

Arizona would be fortunate if it gets its choice of offensive tackles with the eighth pick. Obviously, the tackle they select will be based on grades first, but the Cardinals also have a decision to make on left tackle D.J. Humphries. While he hasn’t exactly played like a first-round pick, the Cardinals could still use the franchise tag on him. If they do, they could take a more natural right tackle like Tristan Wirfs of Iowa.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama

With two first-round picks this year thanks to the Jalen Ramsey trade, the Jaguars have the ammunition to move up if they love someone like Simmons or Brown. If they stay at No. 9, an offensive tackle might be the move. Wills was on the right of Alabama’s offensive line, but the Jaguars could use him at either spot.

10. Cleveland Browns: Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa

The Browns need to hope Herbert goes in the first nine picks. If he does, Cleveland should get one of the coveted top three offensive tackles. Any of Thomas, Wills, or Wirfs is a smart pick for the Browns.

11. New York Jets: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

Of course the Jets would prefer one of the top tackles, but getting their choice of wide receivers has its advantages. Lamb is a more dynamic playmaker than Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy, so he could get the nod on draft night.

12. Las Vegas Raiders: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama

Jeudy is one of the most sure-thing prospects in this draft thanks to his elite route running and hands. Sure, the Raiders have struck out on can’t-miss first-rounders before, but screwing it up with Jeudy seems impossible.

13. Indianapolis Colts: Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina

Just about every mock draft has the Colts going with a wide receiver with the 13th pick. However, Indianapolis is pretty average on defense, and could use a player like Kinlaw to stop the run and get after the quarterback.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A.J. Epenesa, DE, Iowa

Shaquil Barrett, Carl Nassib, Jason Pierre-Paul and Ndamukong Suh are all free agents on Tampa Bay’s defensive line. After a successful season rushing the passer, the Buccaneers can’t let that area of their defense fall apart. Especially if someone like Barrett prices himself out of town. Epenesa can work on the inside and outside, and is a good all-around player.

15. Denver Broncos: Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

Although Courtland Sutton blossomed into a legitimate No. 1 receiver with 1,112 receiving yards this season, the Broncos don’t have much after him. DaeSean Hamilton disappointed as the team’s secondary wide receiver, so a receiver like Ruggs would be a smart choice. That would surround quarterback Drew Lock with Sutton, Ruggs, and tight end Noah Fant.

16. Atlanta Falcons: Yetur Gross-Matos, DE, Penn State

The athletic Gross-Matos could be a draft riser considering he plays a premium position, has good size at 6’5 and 265 pounds, and is coming off a season of 9.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss. Pass rush has been an issue for the Falcons for a few years, and they could finally solve it this draft.

17. Dallas Cowboys: Grant Delpit, S, LSU

This should be the absolute floor of Delpit’s range in the first round. He’s a good all-around safety prospect who showed this season he’s capable of being a single-high coverage safety.

18. Miami Dolphins (via Pittsburgh Steelers): Curtis Weaver, DE, Boise State

Miami has been in the bottom six of the NFL in sacks the last three seasons, and bottomed out as the worst in the league in 2019. That could force a move on a player like Weaver in the first round. He reminds me of Clelin Ferrell, whom the Raiders took fourth overall last year.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (via Chicago Bears): Jacob Eason, QB, Washington

It will only take one team to fall in love with Eason’s massive 6’6 frame and even more massive potential. The Raiders have fallen in love with traits plenty of times in the past and could see a franchise player in Eason.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars: (via Los Angeles Rams): Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson

Other than D.J. Chark, the Jaguars lack difference-making wide receivers. Chris Conley and Dede Westbrook are solid, but not spectacular. Higgins, though, has star potential. Ideally there would be a defensive tackle or linebacker worth the 20th pick, but it’s hard to value one here. It could be more of a second-round consideration.

21. Philadelphia Eagles: Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Colorado

Speaking of receivers with star potential, the Eagles could get a steal with a receiver like Shenault. In most years Shenault would be a top-15 pick or higher. But with this draft being loaded at the position, teams will get lucky in the middle of the first round.

22. Buffalo Bills: K’Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU

The Bills go into the offseason needing a hybrid rusher who can line up at multiple positions. In this range, Chaisson and Oklahoma’s Kenneth Murray will be in consideration. Chaisson is the better pass rusher while Murray is the better true linebacker.

23. New England Patriots: Jordan Love, QB, Utah State

Love’s Senior Bowl is a must-watch storyline this week. With a good week, his draft stock could skyrocket into the top 15. The Patriots have taken a quarterback in three of the past four drafts, but none in the first or second round. This could be the year, whether it’s Love, Herbert, or even Eason.

24. New Orleans Saints: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

New Orleans has several key free agents this offseason, including cornerbacks Eli Apple and P.J. Williams. The Saints should let both walk and target a corner like Diggs. He would finally give the Saints a quality cornerback opposite Marshon Lattimore and help take some pressure off.

25. Minnesota Vikings: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

The Vikings are another team that should look to upgrade from disappointing veterans at cornerback. In Minnesota’s case, it is Xavier Rhodes, whose play has regressed dramatically the past two seasons. Fulton is a man coverage specialist on the outside, and the Vikings’ Mike Zimmer should be able to coach up Fulton’s tackling deficiencies.

26. Miami Dolphins (via Houston Texans): Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville

Becton bolted for the NFL after starting three seasons at Louisville, and should have a spot in the first round locked down. Now it’s just a matter of figuring out how high he could go. The Dolphins would be wise to pair Tagovailoa with a blocker on the edge, and Becton fits the bill.

27. Seattle Seahawks: Julian Okwara, Edge, Notre Dame

Chances are the Seahawks won’t be picking here on draft weekend considering general manager John Schneider’s usual transactional gymnastics. If the Seahawks happen to stay at No. 27, they could target a pass rusher. Okwara should test off the charts with the analytics community, and good coaching will take advantage of his traits.

28. Baltimore Ravens: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

After LSU’s national title win, Jefferson jumped to the NFL and could land a spot in the top 32. He has impressive hands, and is coming off a season with 111 receptions for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns. The Ravens may have taken Marquise Brown in the first round last year, but they need another pass catcher.

29. Tennessee Titans: Terrell Lewis, Edge, Alabama

It was clear during the AFC Championship Game on Sunday that the Titans need to get a better pass rush. Harold Landry is a solid player, but Tennessee’s options after him are limited. Lewis is a good standup rusher who has the strength to set the edge against the run.

30. Green Bay Packers: K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State

When the 49ers shut down Davante Adams for much of the NFC Championship Game, it was apparent that the Packers badly need a quality No. 2 wide receiver. Even if Hamler is not the biggest at 5’9 and 176 pounds, he can make a big play any time he touches the ball.

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

Getting to the Super Bowl and still finding a top-line linebacker in the draft is the dream for the Chiefs. Murray is an active linebacker who will rush the quarterback and track the ball against the run.

32. San Francisco 49ers: CJ Henderson, CB, Florida

A starter for two-and-a-half seasons at Florida, Henderson would give the 49ers a defensive back who can work on the outside or be used in the slot. Don’t forget, Richard Sherman is a free agent after the 2020 season.
