Recapping All Notre Dame NFL Draft Picks

Cole Kmet “stays home” during quarantine and lands with hometown Chicago Bears.  Just how bad have things gone at tight end there that he’ll be counted on to fix?

This weekend saw six players from Notre Dame selected in the 2020 NFL Draft with another hand-full being signed to free agent deals.  Who landed in the best places to find success and which of the later picks or free agent signings will have the best chance of making a roster?

In our podcast with myself and Jeff Feyerer we discuss the landing spot of every Notre Dame player this draft season.

Did Chase Claypool get selected by the best franchise in football to get drafted by if you’re a wide receiver?

How much did Julian Okwara’s injury effect him falling to the third round and how many stories were better this weekend than him getting to play pro ball with his brother in Detroit?

We also analyze the rest of the picks:  Troy Pride, Jr., Khalid Kareem and Alohi Gilman before breaking down all of the undrafted free agents as well.

Senior Bowl: Chase Claypool’s Touchdown Reception

Claypool deserves credit because it’s a nice route but the defensive back that shall remain nameless wasn’t, um, we’ll just say he doesn’t appear to be the next Deion Sanders.

Playing the final time with the iconic golden helmet on his head, Chase Claypool scored a touchdown.

Participating the annual Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, Claypool has been a player getting much praise throughout the week.

Although most scouts will say that the practices in Mobile matter more than the actual game, Claypool didn’t exactly struggle in game, scoring a touchdown just past the midway point of the third quarter.

It won’t go down in his official Notre Dame records but I have trouble believing there were many receptions, let alone touchdowns receptions for Claypool since he’s started playing football than that.

He completely froze the defensive back and went undefended as you see. Claypool deserves credit because it’s a nice route but the defensive back that shall remain nameless wasn’t, um, we’ll just say he doesn’t appear to be the next Deion Sanders.

Claypool’s touchdown reception gave the North a 23-10 third quarter lead.
