2020 Moretti Mock Draft

[moretti19]

Thought it would be fun to put together a mock after week 2 of the College Football Season. Not going to predict free agents just the draft.

Green Bay wins the Super Bowl verse the Chiefs and picks 32nd.

 

Round 1

 Tristan Wirfs*, OT, Iowa
Height: 6-5. Weight: 322.
Projected 40 Time: 5.32.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
8/17/19: Under head coach Kirk Ferentz, Iowa has produced a lot of good offensive line talent, so it was very noteworthy when Wirfs became the first true freshman to start at tackle under Ferentz. While being the regular starter on the right side, he did play left tackle in Iowa's bowl game to end his freshman campaign but was back at right tackle in 2018. Wirfs is a powerful right tackle who is a strong run blocker at the point of attack. He also has the quickness and athleticism to develop into a good pass protector. As a sophomore, Wirfs didn't allow a sack. Some NFL teams might consider moving him to left tackle.

 

RD2:

 Quartney Davis*, WR, Texas A&M
Height: 6-2. Weight: 200.
Projected 40 Time: 4.49.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
9/9/19: Team sources say that Davis is a phenomenal route-runner who has a quality combination of size and quickness. With his advanced route-running skills, Davis is consistent to generate separation and get open for his quarterback. Don't be surprised if Davis produces a big year as a junior.

 

RD 3

 Joe Bachie, ILB, Michigan State
Height: 6-2. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2019): 2-4.
6/29/19: In 2018, Bachie had 101 tackles with 8.5 tackles for a loss, one sack, five passes broken up, two forced fumbles and one interception. He is a tough inside linebacker who defends the run well and shows some ability to cover. Michigan State has produced a lot of pro linebacker talent in recent years, and Bachie will keep that going. He broke out in 2017 with 100 tackles, 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two passes batted and three interceptions. Sources say that Bachie has the potential to grade out in the first four rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft

 

RD4:

 Marvin Wilson*, 3-4DE, Florida State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 317.
Projected 40 Time: 5.60.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
6/29/19: Wilson had a decent 2018 season for the Seminoles as their best interior defender. On the year, he totaled 42 tackles with 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble, two passes batted and 4.5 tackles for a loss. If he builds on his sophomore season, he could rise as a junior or senior.

 

RD5:

 Zack Moss, RB, Utah
Height: 5-10. Weight: 215.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
9/7/19: Moss ran for 187 yards on 29 carries with a touchdown against BYU.

8/17/19: Moss impressed evaluators in 2018, carrying the Utes' offense on their way to a 9-5 season. On the year, he averaged 6.1 yards per carry for 1,096 yards with 11 touchdowns. As a sophomore in 2017, he averaged 5.5 yards per carry for 1,173 yards with 10 touchdowns. He had 29 receptions for 243 yards that season.

RD6

 Benny LeMay, RB, Charlotte
Height: 5-9. Weight: 218.
Projected 40 Time: 4.56.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
9/7/19: LeMay took 16 carries for 120 yards with two touchdowns against Gardner-Webb.

8/17/19: In 2018, LeMay averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,228 yards with 11 touchdowns. He also caught 21 passes for 282 yards. LeMay is short but thickly built. His strong play landed him on NFL teams' preseason watch lists.

RD7

 Jet Toner, K, Stanford
Height: 6-4. Weight: 201.
Projected Round (2020): 6-FA.

6/22/19: Toner was 14-of-15 in 2018, showing excellent accuracy, but his longest field goal was from 46 yards out, so his leg strength was not really put to the test. In 2017, Toner showed an accurate leg, hitting 5-of-7 in the 40-yard range. That season, he was 21-of-26 with a long field goal of 46 yards. Toner needs to show more leg to hit field goals from 50-plus yards in 2019.

It’s still early. I generally like the direction. It’s early but RT and weapon should be picks 1/2.  A few thoughts;

1. I don’t see us using a top 3 pick on a ilb. Blake probably gets reupped, Burks still has upside, and we don’t roll with 2 ilbs enough to use a high pick on one (unless someone special falls)

2. I don’t see us shotgunning rb again. With all our backs under contract again, I don’t see us taking more than 1

3. I’d like another 

TE- relatively high (maybe swap round 4’s de for one). With Lewis out, Grahm a likely cut, we probably need one. Jace and Tonyan are still projects

Qb- can we really roll with our current backup situation another year. Maybe swap a rb out

 

Overall good post though

I'm with pacman but I'm going to take this another direction. I think we need to spend our 2nd or 3rd on a QB. If we trade our 2nd away for Minkah, the 3rd has to be a QB. I like Boyle and all, but he's got a great arm and really not much more. Shea Patterson in the 3rd looks like a viable option, but by the time the draft comes, there will probably be a better option at that point.

As for the ILB situation, I tend to think we need to draft one regardless of how we feel about Bolton, Summers, or Burks. That said, we need a guy that can cover and chase, not  a 2 down thumper. If we go TE, someone like Grant Calcaterra may be an option. Like the DL selection in the 4th but it may be a bit early for him. Hate the two RB picks. They're frankly unnecessary as we've already thoroughly addressed the position. Also, we could do a lot better at Kicker than drafting a guy who's sketchy in the 40 yard range with a career long of 46...

I haven't watched most of these guys yet, I do question the Wilson pick though. Why draft that dude while Lancaster is still on the roster for cheap?
