Ranking the Dumbest Moves of the 2020 NFL Draft

The 2020 NFL Draft kicked off a week ago, and the seismic shock from some of the more questionable selections (or non-selections) is still reverberating across the football landscape.

While this year's remote/virtual event didn't have a high number of really puzzling selections, the few questionable choices there were simply defied all logic. These five decisions in the 2020 draft still have us wondering what these teams were thinking.

5. Raiders Picking Damon Arnette 19th Overall

There are absolutely no complaints about Las Vegas' first first-round selection in 2020, as they took Alabama speed demon Henry Ruggs III with the 12th overall pick. At 19 overall, however, they made perhaps the biggest reach of the draft by picking Ohio State's Damon Arnette. Not only was Arnette the third best corner on his own team behind No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah and projected 2021 first-rounder Shaun Wade, but Arnette is a shorter corner with questionable speed who will be 24 years old at the start of the 2020 season. Nothing about his measurables or tape said first-round pick.

4. Patriots Passing on a Quarterback

The Patriots didn't have a bad draft, as they nabbed D-II star Kyle Dugger and Michigan stud Josh Uche to bolster the defense in the second round while getting some new tight ends in the third round in UCLA's Devin Asiasi and Virginia Tech's Dalton Keene. They did, however, fail to use ANY of their 10 picks on a quarterback, leaving an experienced fourth-rounder in Jarrett Stidham as the starter. No matter how Belichick spins this, they need to upgrade at QB, and picking a backup edge rusher like Anfernee Jennings instead of a signal caller was a bad choice.

3. Packers Not Taking a Wide Receiver

Not only did most mock draft have the Packers adding at least two wide receivers in the 2020 draft, some had Green Bay drafting THREE new targets for Aaron Rodgers. 36 receivers came and went during the 2020 Draft, and none of them ended up in Green Bay. The Packers, bizarrely, thought that adding a third-string running back in AJ Dillon and a backup tight end in Josiah Deguara were more prudent investments than a speedy wideout.

2. Eagles Using a Second-Round Pick on Jalen Hurts

The Eagles have one of the best young quarterbacks in all of football in Carson Wentz, and that stud is locked up until 2024 thanks to a recent contract extension. After checking that huge quarterback box, time to get him some more weapons or another offensive linemen in the second round, right? NOPE! They picked Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts, a guy who only wants to play quarterback but will be forced to share the field with Wentz in a "Taysom Hill" role. If everything goes as planned, Hurts will not get on the field frequently which makes him an odd second-rounder.

1. Packers Trading up for Jordan Love

While the Hurts pick was baffling, it made sense to some degree given Wentz's durability concerns. What made NO sense, however, was Green Bay trading up to take Utah State quarterback Jordan Love to back up Aaron Rodgers. Not only is Rodgers still excellent, but he is under contract for four more seasons, and can't be cut until at least two years from now. Rather than add the one piece that gets them over the Super Bowl hump, Green Bay took one step further to end the Aaron Rodgers era.
