The 2020 NFL Draft has finally arrived and this year’s virtual draft promises to be more unpredictable than ever. My final 32 team NFL Mock Draft differs from my latest Dallas Cowboys 7 Round Mock Draft with the Cowboys staying put instead of trading down and drafting an elite cover corner in the 1st round. The week leading up to the draft is always rife with rumours, some potentially true and others complete nonsense. There have been whispers of the Falcons, Bronco’s, Eagles, and Chiefs wanting to trade up. There are mentions that the Giants, Browns, Jets, and 49ers all want to trade back. There are players whose stock is rising and some whose stock is falling. There are reports of a failed drug test by a top tier offensive lineman and long-term injury concerns over both a potential franchise quarterback as well as a premier pass rushing interior defensive lineman. Trying to sort through all of the noise and separate fact from fiction is impossible, but I am going to give it a shot anyway. Here is my final attempt at a 32 team NFL mock draft before the real thing goes down on Thursday evening.
