Inside The Star

Thursday marks the opening round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and with the sports world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sports fans across the United States have been clamoring for something to give them their sports fix. When the Cinncinati Bengals go on the clock Thursday night, the NFL will take another step forward in 2020, giving us hope that we’ll get back to some sense of normalcy at some point this year. The NFL Draft is an exciting moment in the NFL calendar. Much of what happens with the 256 picks can shape a franchise’s future for years to come. A good draft can propel a team from bottom-feeder status to playoff contender and can take a fringe playoff team and put them over the top. We here at InsideTheStar.com took a couple of days and did a two-round mock draft for all 32 teams. This mock draft is a projection of what we think the NFL teams will do, not what we would do. We attempted to take both team need and positional value into account as well as select players for organizations that have been linked to them in some way.
