IF... 2020 Season Cancelled Mock Draft

Honestly, no. We have way too many holes to fill to legitimately compete this coming season anyway. Any thoughts of using the draft to try to slap bandaids on those holes would be really poor roster building. We probably need to be drafting with a goal of being competitive 2-3 years from now. But, given all the bandaid type moves this off-season has consisted of minus the CMC extension, I fully expect a bandaid type approach to this draft. Drafting for need and ignoring the strengths of the draft class. It's just what bad organizations do and right now, we're a bad organization until proven otherwise.

If they cancel the season how does the draft work next year?  Something tells me New England ends up at #1 and gets Trevor.

I read somewhere that the NFL might use the NHL's model for determining the draft order in a tiered system. IIRC, they had a lockout the year that Crosby came out and based on records, draft position the previous 5 years and playoff appearances, had a "fair" system to determine draft order. 

I wouldn't change course at all with the exception of not drafting players that were on the older age groups.

How did the nhl model work? Was that based on average wins over the last X seasons? 
 

We would do decent in that type of model.

From the article I read here -

https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2020/04/11/2021-nfl-draft-detroit-lions-nhl-gary-bettman/5132261002/......

 

Rather than take a single season into account, the NHL used composite records from its three previous full seasons — 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04 — to slot teams into different categories. Teams with no playoff appearances in that time, and no No. 1 overall picks in the previous four drafts, were given three lottery balls. Teams with one playoff appearance or No. 1 pick were given two. And everyone else had one of the 48 balls in the hopper, or approximately a 2% chance of landing the greatest prospect of his generation.

That 11-5 2017 season would really bite us in the ass in that model.

Many times your second and third round guys are good, but just need a season to be NFL ready.  If the season was to be cancelled, I might trade back and then again to pick up several more players in the 3rd round range and end up with about 11 guys rather than the 7 or so.

If the season is gonna be cancelled, if anything it would push the dedicated "love football" guys up the board. A big concern will probably be some guys getting lazy and getting way out of shape if they're over a year away from football. There's already a lot of guys who do that already in the space of time that is the current-off-season. It would probably also help guys who have injuries that shouldn't be a long-term concern, but may have impacted their availability this season. I would also think that it would push guys down who had off-field concerns. Again, if you're away from football and left to your own devices for over a year, those off-field issues are a lot more likely to pop up.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
