Debated hard between him and Simmons but went with Simmons due to his versatility. Feel like both are can't miss though.

Sorry guys I had to actually run to the office today to check and scan in mail. I will do full recap later but to not hold things up with the 7th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft the Carolina Panthers select- Derrick Brown DT Auburn
Edited to be more informative. Carolina thought for sure Simmons would be there to continue the tradition of dominant linebackers but with him gone we look to strengthen our DL.
Overview
Defensive tackle with rare combination of size and disruptive traits who frequently bludgeoned inferior competition across from him. Brown's snap quickness allows him to take muddy running lanes by re-setting the line of scrimmage. He has the ability to power into gaps, but he really shines when he drops his anchor to stall double-teams or punch, press and prey on runners as a two-gapper. Brown's upright rush style means he might be more of a pressure rusher than a sack-man, but he should keep improving as a rusher with more dedication to the craft. He could become a high-impact starter early in his career with an All-Pro ceiling and good starter floor.

Strengths
- Elite combination of size, strength and big-man athleticism
- Able to play up and down the line in odd or even fronts
- Competes with urgency and determination
- Instant snap reaction propels him into blocker's frame with pop
- Quickness and power to ruin a reach block
- Uses upper body power and hands to lift and leverage blockers consistently
- Quick punch and lock-out forces blockers into early recovery mode
- Linebacker's best friend with ability to gobble up blockers
- Two-tapper deluxe with power and shed technique to control point of attack
- Agility to widen tackle radius from initial gap
- Capable of cranking up a rush crafted around movement and power
- Powerful club move interrupts punch and balance of opponent
- Able to drive through redirection from inside pocket
- Average knee bend creates inconsistent pad level
- Doesn't have upfield stride quickness for playing in gaps
- Plays past his toes, creating imbalance against offensive-line movement
- Needs to keep working on syncing hands and feet as rusher
- Can get to half-man more quickly with his rush attack
- Hip tightness limits rush agility in the pocket

I PMed Tonedef75 three hours ago, if he doesn't post by the evening I'll jump in and make the pick. We started two weeks later than usual this year, but let's try to pick up the pace with picks if we can. This may not be the year to milk the clock for trades.

Also, people should make picks and explain later. Let’s be efficient.

With the number 8 pick, the Arizona Cardinals take OL Jedrick Wills Jr. out of Alabama. Protecting 2019 #1OVERALL pick Kyler Murray is priority number number 1.
Even though I would be more then happy to do a write up, due to time restraints, the Draft Network could do a much quicker job.

With the 9th pick of the RCF 2020 NFL Mock Draft...
The Jacksonville Jaguars select...
Jerry Jeudy, WR Alabama!
NFL Comparison: Odell Beckham Jr.
Combine Results: 40 yard dash - 4.45, Vertical Jump - 35", Broad Jump - 120", 20 Yard Shuttle- 4.53
It’s Mustache Mania in Jacksonville with Nick Foles being traded to Chicago. Gardner Minshew is now the franchise guy in Jacksonville. With that being said, might l as well surround Minshew with as much talent as possible to give him the best chance to succeed and show (if) he can help take Jacksonville to the next level. If not, at least receiver won’t be a need for a couple of years. With Jacksonville ranking 26th in scoring (18.8 pts), 20th in total yards (341.8 yards), and 16th in passing (235 yards) last season, it makes sense to bring in more offensive fire power for the second year quarterback and new offensive coordinator.
Jerry Jeudy is the best router runner entering the league in recent memory. His quickness, ability to change gears, and fluid hips allow him to be an elite route runner. This truly allows him to be dynamic before and after the catch. Jeudy showed off his extensive route tree and IQ by constantly being on the same page as Tua when making reads on his routes. His route running will allow him to create separation and become a solid target that Minshew can trust. Between his 4.45 second 40 yard and his ‘twitchiness’ to make defenders miss, he is a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the football. This speed also allows Jeudy to take the top off the defense with the deep ball.
In Jacksonville, Jeudy will be sharing targets with Pro Bowl WR, DJ Chark. Jeudy proved he can thrive in a dynamic offense playing alongside other top receivers at Alabama with Devonta Smith and Henry Ruggs III. He also showed the ability to thrive any where on the field in any offense. He played on the perimeter and in the slot. He also played in a vertical offense, showing he can be a deep threat (19.3 and 15.1 yards per reception in 2018 and 2019) and in the West Coast Offense on quick passes and especially slants, which is an offense that Jay Gruden (his new offensive coordinator) ran in Cincinnati.
Jeudy does have his issues, which is why some people have CeeDee Lamb and Henry Ruggs III rated as better prospects. His 191 pound frame could allow for bigger and more athletic corners to jam him at the line or push him off his routes. Jeudy does possess good press release moves, but he will need to add some muscle to truly combat this issue. Jeudy has shown effort in blocking and adding that muscle will help to make him a better blocker.
Jeudy had some mental lapses with drops and trying to use his frame to secure the catch; 7 drops in 2019. In 2018, he didn’t have these issues and actually made some tough catches over the course of the 2018 season. Jacksonville is leaning towards 2019 being a fluke and believe Minshew and Jeudy will develop great chemistry.
In 2018, he lead the SEC in receiving touchdowns with 14 (3rd in the NCAA), had 68 receptions (4th in SEC), 1315 receiving yards (10th in NCAA and 2nd in SEC), Consensus All-American, and won the Fred Biletnikoff award. He followed that up in 2019 with 77 receptions (3rd in the SEC), 1163 receiving yards (4th in the SEC), and 10 receiving touchdowns (5th in the SEC).
Overall, Jerry Jeudy is an elite prospect entering the league. At 6'1" he isn’t going to ever be a ‘jump ball’ receiver, but the combination of route running, speed, and ‘twitchiness’ will make him a threat to score every time he is on the field. If he proves that his bout with drops was just a fluke, Jeudy will be a top receiver for years to come. Jacksonville is a great landing spot for Jeudy as he will have a DJ Chark to help take away some of the ‘#1 attention’ he would see else where (Las Vegas, NY Jets, etc.) and allow him time to adjust to NFL speed. He will also be able to develop chemistry with second year quarterback Gardner Minshew.

With the 10th overall pick, the Cleveland Browns select Andrew Thomas!
During the 2019 season, Andrew Thomas allowed nine pressures, only one of which was a sack, in 410 pass-block snaps last season. Over his career, he allowed 37 pressures on 1,075 pass-block snaps. Put simply, we believe he has the best pass-blocking statistics in this draft, while also going up the toughest defenses in the NCAA.
From a scouting lense, Thomas generates extraordinary depth in his stance by using his freakishly mobile hips. But, for the Browns, what is more important is his ability to get to the second-level and destroy linebackers as well as efficiency on combination blocks. He will enter the league as a starting left tackle in Kevin Stefanski's zone-blocking scheme.
The key weakness for Thomas is his balance in pass protection. His technique allows defenders to take advantage of poor footwork. Early on, we will use two tight-end sets as well as the new addition, Andy Janovich, to help provide combination blocking as the team works with Thomas on his footwork.

I realize I don't have much to stand-on here as I waited a long time to get this year's mock started, but you're looking at 1 of 3 people coming back to do full write-ups. I understand it this year, but people should put some time into their posts or this is not very fun.

No, I agree, people should definitely do write-ups. But if you can make your pick at noon and not do a write-up until 7:00pm, then just make your pick at noon and do the write-up at 7:00pm. That way the draft can keep moving.

With the 11th pick, the Jets take Ceedee Lamb, WR from Oklahoma.
The Jets are a team with a need for help at many spots, but are well positioned to add appreciable talent in this years draft. The biggest needs are OL and WR. Luckily, these are among the deepest positions in this years draft, especially at the top end. After allowing 52 sacks and ranking 31st in rushing last season, its apparent that OL must take priority. However, with my top 3 lineman gone, I'm going BPA at a position of need. Losing Robby Anderson and going into the season with Breshard Perriman and Quincy Enunwa at the top of the depth chart is undesirable. Taking advantage of my top ranked WR being on the board makes this a no brainer. We need to get protection help for Sam Darnold, but remain confident we can still add to the line in the next round. The Jets have added to OL depth in free agency ( George Fant, Alex Lewis, Connor McGovern) so a lineman could be worked in gradually if time is needed for a later round pick. I'm not confident the remaining tackles are day 1 starters.
Lamb, on the other hand is a polished receiver with size, ready to step in and be Darnold's top target immediately. I think this is the best approach, easily, though if any of the three previously drafted tackles were available, it would have been a tougher decision.

Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb might have the best career of this draft’s WRs
Retired defensive end Stephen White shows why CeeDee Lamb has a bright future, even if the receiver isn’t a finished product.
