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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
