Green Bay Packers: 2020 Mock Draft Simulation & Big Takeaways
By Paul Bretl
Pick 91: Najee Harris RB – Alabama
Kyle Crabbs’ analysis:
"“BIG FELLA! This is a jumbo sized runner who is fully capable of serving the role of a power back — but yet his balance and tempered stride length in traffic allows him to bring something more to the table, too. I like his patience to press up into gaps when he’s working off tackle, won’t overrun his blockers and gives the bodies in front of him a good chance to latch onto a defender. He’s pretty creative in the open field, too — I’ve seen him get vertical to hurdle a few defenders when they drop their head and he’s got a nifty sidestep.”"
Pick 123: Jordyn Brooks LB – Texas Tech
Jordan Reid’s analysis:
"“Super active and twitchy middle linebacker that is the heartbeart of not only the team, but the defense as a whole. Thrives on physicality and patience while reading his keys, he’s excellent at triggering downhill to the ball once he’s able to diagnose that happenings in the backfield.” Reid would later add: “Headed towards another season where he’s the team-leader in tackles. That’s his best asset, but he still has problems with disengaging at the point of attack or against climbing blockers. Because of the wide open nature of offenses, he’s aided with a lot of clear pathways to ball carriers. When sets become a bit more condensed, he struggles with staying clean and free of incoming blockers toward his direction.”"
