NFL Draft analysts can be stubborn fellows, after all. But even through that, the endless mock drafts this time of year get a little tiresome as we get ready for the real thing on April 23. 

We’ve seen all kinds of mocks: with trades, without trades, the non-obvious ones and even the click-bait ones. That’s just the nature of this time of year, after all. And there’s no certainty when it comes to the NFL Draft, after all.

With the 2020 NFL Draft going down on Thursday, a lot of these mocks are about to be finalized. So here’s what you need to know about the draft’s power brokers and how they think it’s going to shake out from Roger Goodell’s basement, with a few notes on each:

Vinnie Iyer’s mock draft (Sporting News)

Sporting News’ latest mock draft, a three-round edition, was unveiled on April 20. Here’s how the first round breaks down:

Noteworthy:

— The Saints find their QB of the future in Jordan Love with their first-round pick. With Drew Brees’ future uncertain past the 2020 season, Love gives head coach Sean Payton a passer to mold while Brees finishes out his Hall of Fame career. His athletic traits, too, are going to give Payton something fun to play with.

— The Jaguars passing on wide receivers not once, but twice, seems like a curious move. Especially for a team with limited offensive weaponry and who is currently shopping Leonard Fournette.

— The Packer opt not to help the offensive side of the ball and instead take Ross Blacklock from TCU with the No. 30 pick. The Packers aren’t imperfect, but they could certainly give Aaron Rodgers some more help.

Mel Kiper’s mock draft (ESPN)

Kiper’s latest mock draft was released on April 14.

Noteworthy:

— The Packers opt to get Aaron Rodgers a franchise tight end here with Cole Kmet, with all of the big wide receivers already off the board.

— The Jaguars get their Jalen Ramsey replacement with Jeff Okudah, who falls all the way to No. 9.

— Drew Brees gets more offensive help in this draft, with Brandon Aiyuk going to the Saints at No. 24.

Todd McShay’s mock draft (ESPN)

McShay’s most recent mock draft released in late March.

Noteworthy:

— Jordan Love gets the most respect yet, going No. 6 overall to the Chargers, and is taken before Oregon’s Justin Herbert. Herbert lands with the Jaguars at No. 9 overall to compete with Gardner Minshew. 

— The Eagles opt for D before help on offense, with Justin Jefferson and Tee Higgins both on the board. Interestingly enough, Brandon Aiyuk is off the board before both of those guys, going No. 20 to the Jaguars. (Hope you’re ready for the Herbert to Aiyuk connection in Jacksonville.)

— Despite whispers that Denver wants to move up, they stand pat and take big tackle Andrew Thomas at 15, giving Drew Lock some much-needed protection.

Daniel Jeremiah’s mock draft (NFL Network)

Daniel Jeremiah released his final mock draft on Wednesday, April 22. Here’s the most recent from DJ:

Noteworthy: 

— Could we see six offensive tackles head in the first round? Outside of the group of four, Jeremiah believes that both Georgia’s Isaiah Wilson and USC product Austin Jackson will make the first round. Some predict Jackson to fall into the top of the second.

— Jerry Jeudy falls in DJ’s last mock draft, landing at the Buccaneers, pairing with Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and more. Not only does he fall, but he’s the third WR taken.

— In a projected trade, the Falcons jump up to No. 9 to take Derrick Brown. Most mock drafts have Brown and the Panthers as a lock-fit at No. 7.

Peter King’s mock draft (NBC Sports)

Noteworthy:

— King’s mock draft features a few trades — the Lions and Dolphins swapping the No. 3 and No. 5 picks — but none quite as interesting as the Patriots trading up to No. 13 to take Tua Tagovailoa. It’s not a move that says “desperation” but trading up doesn’t seem like it would be the MO of Bill Belichick and the rest of New England’s braintrust. Still, the idea of Belichick pairing Tagovailoa with Josh McDaniels and opening up New England’s offense is a thought-provoking concept. 

— The Cowboys and 49ers get together on a trade that ends up with Cesar Ruiz as a Dallas o-lineman. After the unexpected retirement of Travis Frederick, this could be the heir apparent.

— The Eagles get their future playmaking deep threat to pair with Carson Wentz in Henry Ruggs III. With the Eagles in the market for a speedy receiver in recent years (bringing back DeSean Jackson; reportedly in the market for Robby Anderson), this pick falls in line with what Philly wants.
