Post-bowl season NFL mock draft: 4 QBs land in Round 1
Yahoo ^ | January 15, 2020 | Eric Edholm

With the national title game in the rearview mirror, we officially can put a bow on the 2019 college football season.

For the NFL draft enthusiasts, it’s a fun time over the next two months — the Senior Bowl, NFL scouting combine and college pro days will help us sharpen the picture of which prospects belong in what ranges and how NFL teams’ needs will change once the free-agency period begins in March.

We have enough information now to start making more accurate dart throws at our 2020 draft projections, making it an ideal time for our third mock draft for this cycle.

I think Tua is looking for a pay day now, and see what happens. Ordinarily, a QB should stay in college, but I don’t fault him. I think it will take one year to recover from this injury until he can play like he used to play.

These no nothings, are calling the DE position “EDGE” position?

Is it that they underwhelm or are the Browns such a terrible organization that good players go there to wither on the vine?

quite possibly one of the worst mocks i’ve seen to date- Wills ahead of Andrew Thomas?? Jake Fromm middle of round two? And to the Bears?

This terminology got widely adopted a few years back when the value of the outside pass rush went sky high. Seems like the term Edge increases contact value, so the top guys get classified with that position. Seems weird to me.

How good would Isaiah Crowell look with Derwin James and Bosa and Ingram coming in off the edge.
As bad as San Diego... alright, The Chargers, OLine was, that’s a frightening defense.
Reminds me of that early 90’s Buddy Ryan Gang Green unit.

Perhaps. But he deserves a chance to start.

Hip injury: Think “Bo Jackson.” Bo Jackson limps to this day for a similar injury. He never played in the NFL again after his injury and played baseball only as a pinch-hitter.

I believe it's because they could end up as either a DE in a 4-3 or a pass rushing OLB in a 3-4.

Las Vegas Raiders

This is going to take a while to get used to.

Also,

Los Angeles Chargers

Why not just call them all FRONT players.

I agree, this is pure mental masturbation.

I’d like one of us to table this mock draft and see how close they were in reality.

I think Bo’s injury was more severe, I think he fracture the femoral head didn’t he? as it required a hip replacement.

But, you’re right, I really don’t see Tua being the same for awhile.

Long term, he could be better than before, but to play first string next season, is really premature...IMO.

I would not count on him as a first rounder. 2 ankle surgeries and a bad hip injury in two college seasons?

Burrow and Cincinnati (1st pick) are already talking.

Me neither, but these so called experts have him going in the first round in three or four mocks.
