Cardinals land OT, WR, RB in full mock draft simulation

Check out how things could play out getting a lineman in Round 1 and a receiver in Round 2.

We are officially two months away from the 2020 NFL Draft. Mock drafts come from all over the internet. Today we begin with what will probably be weekly simulations of the full draft for the Arizona Cardinals.

In this first simulation, the scenario I use is how things play out if the Cardinals go with a tackle in the first round. Likewise, it also presumes that the Cardinals are not able to re-sign running back Kenyan Drake.

With those in place, this is how things went in this full mock draft simulation.

Round 1: Iowa OT Tristan Wirfs

Again, the scenario I was going with was taking a tackle in Round 1. In this case, all linemen except for Louisville’s Mekhi Becton are available. The choice was between Wirfs and Georgia’s Andrew Thomas. Wirfs is the pick. He could be the team’s Week 1 starter at right tackle. Now we will see if there are any impact receivers in Round 2.

Bears target offense, secondary in Matt Miller’s 7-round mock draft

The Bears have plenty of needs to address this offseason, and they could certainly find some answers in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Matt Miller released his first seven-round mock draft, which featured some intriguing prospects for the Bears’ 2020 draft class.

Everything from quarterback to tight end to defensive back to offensive line was addressed, as the Bears need some fixes if they’re to have any hope at playoff contention in 2020.

Let’s break down Miller’s first seven-round mock draft featuring eight Bears selections:

2nd Round, No. 43: TE Brycen Hopkins, Purdue

The Bears are certainly in need of a tight end that can bring production to the passing game. There are no shortage of tight end prospects that have been linked to the Bears, including Vandy’s Jared Pinkney and Dayton’s Adam Trautman. But another top tight end prospect that the Bears have already met with is Purdue’s Brycen Hopkins, who some argue is the best tight end in the NFL Draft.

Hopkins had 830 yards and six touchdowns with Purdue this season, which is the kind of production the Bears are seeking from the position. He would be the perfect fit for Matt Nagy’s “U” tight end. He’s a strong route runner and also brings explosiveness to the position.
