CJD's Post-NCG Mock Draft - CJD - 01-14-2020 I call this draft the "fix the offense in one off season" mock draft. Round 1: Joe Burrow is obvious. No need to even talk about him. He's the pick and he should be. Chase Young is a great player, but he won't transform this team for the next decade that Joe can. Round 2: I was honestly surprised to see Jefferson in the 2nd, which is why I pounced. His stock was undeniably padded by having Joe Burrow as his QB, so why stop now? The man is the king of the jump ball and he runs a pretty route as well, especially over the middle where he can hang on to the ball (see the play where the Clemson player was ejected for targetting)
Round 3: I was looking at either LB or OT here, as they both likely need a new starter. However, the LBs just weren't there. I decided to go with Trey Adams because he's a big OT that has played LT for most of his career. I think he transitions over to RT in the NFL, but having a body that big with the athleticism that he has is not common. Round 4: Again, was not impressed with the LBs available, so I went with another stabilizing presence on the Oline. Bredeson could plug into RG and likely improve the position, further ensuring that Burrow is protected. Round 5, 6 and 7: Finish the draft by filling roster spots on defense. I don't expect these guys to be starters or even defensive contributors in their first year, but could get there over time. This draft was all about the first 4 rounds. |
