And just like that, a potential Super Bowl run instantly turns into the offseason.

The Green Bay Packers, who won 13 regular season games and advanced to the doorstep of the Super Bowl, are now flying home from San Francisco with nothing but the offseason ahead after a 37-20 defeat at the hands of the 49ers on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.

The loss means the Packers will pick 30th in the 2020 NFL draft. The Tennessee Titans, who lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, will pick 29th. The Packers had the better regular season record (13-3 to 9-7).

The last time the Packers picked 30th in the draft, they took cornerback Damarious Randall in 2015.

Here is the current 2020 draft order after the conference title game:

1. Bengals
2. Redskins
3. Lions
4. Giants
5. Dolphins
6. Chargers
7. Panthers
8. Cardinals
9. Jaguars
10. Browns
11. Jets
12. Raiders
13. Colts
14. Buccaneers
15. Broncos
16. Falcons
17. Cowboys
18. Dolphins
19. Raiders
20. Jaguars
21. Eagles
22. Bills
23. Patriots
24. Saints
25. Vikings
26. Dolphins
27. Seahawks
28. Ravens
29. Titans
30. Packers
31. Super Bowl loser (Chiefs/49ers)
32. Super Bowl winner (Chiefs/49ers)

Deion Sanders says Jameis Winston is the Bucs’ guy

With a huge decision looming for both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their starting quarterback Jameis Winston, whose rookie contract is expiring, the question has been does the team re-sign him or let him go?

On GameDay Prime, Deion Sanders said that if the Buccaneers are in win now mode that Winston is their guy, and it will cost them some money to keep him, as it should. Sanders made reference to Winston’s turnovers and simply stated “you’ve gotta fix them.” If the Bucs want to take a step back, they can go after a quarterback in the draft, but Winston is the quarterback for the Buccaneers. With the 14th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and not a very deep quarterback class, several mock drafts are pointing to defense for the Bucs.

The season for Winston was filled with the ultimate highs, and the ultimate lows- as I call it, the Jameis Winston conudrum. Winston finished this season with 5,109 yards, 33 TD and 30 INT, becoming just the eighth player to break the 5,000 yard barrier in a single season. Will this be Winston’s last season as a Buccaneer? Only time will truly tell, however, the market is rather bleak on quarterbacks that are likely to be available.

Trevor Sikkema summed up Winston’s time as a Buccaneer perfectly.

There is no doubt that whatever the Buccaneers decide to do with Winston, it will be the biggest story of the offseason for the franchise.

Latest 2020 NFL mock draft has Bucs passing on both Tagovailoa and Herbert

The latest 2020 mock draft from Draft Wire has the Buccaneers looking to shore up their offensive line.

The Bucs sit at 3-7 right now and at the bottom of the NFC South.

With another losing season potentially in their future, Tampa Bay could find itself sitting at or near the top of the 2020 NFL Draft. The good news for them, should they decide to move on from quarterback Jameis Winston, is that next year’s draft will likely be filled with talented young signal-callers.

So, if one of the top quarterbacks in the 2020 class falls into their laps, the Bucs will have to draft them, right? Not according to the latest mock from Draft Wire, which predicts the Buccaneers taking Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs in the seventh spot, passing on both Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert. (LSU’s Joe Burrow is pegged to be the top pick by the still-winless Cincinnati Bengals.)

While Wirfs would certainly help shore up the offensive line, would the Bucs really pass up the chance at drafting either Tagovailoa or Herbert? Tagovailoa’s recent hip injury might scare some teams away, but Herbert looks to be the ideal quarterback for a guy like Bruce Arians.
