Mock Draft Tracker: Penn State Edition
Mock Draft here. Mock Draft there. Everywhere a mock draft.
Mock drafts pop up all over the place during the opening stages of every year. Every NFL fanbase wants to take a look at who their favorite team could possibly select in this year’s NFL draft.
While the 2020 NFL Draft is still far ahead of us but with all but four teams eliminated from the NFL playoffs, it’s time to take a look at all the potential landing spots for Penn State football players in this April’s draft. The pool of Nittany Lions likely to hear their names called in April may not be as front-loaded as previous classes but players like K.J. Hamler, Yetur Gross-Matos, Tariq Castro-Fields, Steven Gonzalez, Cam Brown, John Reid and Robert Windsor have each generated at the very least a little buzz.
Picks 1-28 are set in stone now for the 2020 iteration of the NFL draft and as such, mock drafts are certainly expected to change rapidly over the coming months but we’ll stay on top of as many as we can here at Victory Bell Rings. If we’re missing a mock draft location or big board ranking, contact Cameron Michael on Twitter and it’ll make its appearance below.
Here are the potential landing spots from all the mock drafts across the Internet. Thoughts? Comments? Great fits? Poor fits? Leave your thoughts below!
