Ready for the Draft Podcast

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft.

Ready for the Draft Podcast is looking at how the impact free agency has had on draft projections for all 32 NFL teams.  Gregg will break up his podcasts by division.  Episode 26 focuses on the AFC East.  Will Miami land Tua?  Do they have to trade up to get him?  And how can this draft really shape their future, especially with three 1st Round Picks?  Will the Jets find a go-to target for Sam Darnold, will they opt for an OT to protect him or will they look defense at No. 11?  The Patriots begin life without Tom Brady.  Do they draft a QB?  Or do they look to fill one of the voids that free agency created on the defensive side of the ball?  And Buffalo may be without a 1st Round pick, but they can still improve their roster on Days 2 and 3.

Gregg also discusses how one change to his top 5 made a huge impact on his four round mock draft.
