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.

      Panthers post game. Thomas Davis and J Stew

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      The receivers got little separation, the receivers also ran wrong  routes in the same area at least once and of course xL being his usual self.   the oline was not top notch, in either run or pass pro the defense had moments  their stats ion 3rd down, really bad and stupid penalties   The defense had 4 chances at turnovers and missed them all  the offensive game  plan and its execution was as flawed as always  and did not work the middle of the field and per Jonathan Stewart, that is how to attack that seattle defense .   add it all up, they weren't winning that game particularly with Bryce as the leader of that orchestra offensively  the problem is it has to be perfect for Young  and he has to have short  fields   That is mot going to happen consistently  I dont know what the future holds for this team but i just do not see the play calling and execution from that offense with the canales idzik young marriage  being productive against better coaches and teams  a whole lot of draft choices and money  spent  on the offensive side of the ball   It is not working out and had Dowdle not been super man in games 5 and 6, no chance on this season  I hope they win  sunday and make the playoffs  it is good thing for many reasons  it will also be a spotlight…either young can play in big  moments or he cant, same for Canales and the rest of the players
