The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine Group one list of invited players is now available, including many mocked to LA Rams
The LA Rams may have as many as 20 roster openings to fill this season, but that will soon change. A new draft class of 337 hopeful college players is one step close to their realizing their dreams of becoming NFL players in 2020. That is the list of prospects attending the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. As you recall, the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is a six-day event but staggered as a round-robin event for four groups. That extends the Combine out to nine days to complete processing fo the four groups.
But of that number of attendees, only 256 players might hear their name called during the three-day 2020 NFL Draft. That’s due to 32 teams limited to seven rounds, plus an annual limit of 32 additional Comp Picks awarded to NFL teams who suffer a net loss of free agents from the previous season. Just 256 options in the draft.
Still, that’s only the NFL Draft. Upon the conclusion of the draft, all 32 NFL teams will scramble to sign the undrafted free agents. Historically, that is where the LA Rams have made some better than NFL signings.
So 337 players? That’s a lot of players to keep track of, isn’t it? Well, we’ve invested our time to help you decipher when your player will arrive and complete various stages of the event. To make the list of attendees easier to handle, we’ve taken the time to break out Group One attendees. Thes are the tight ends, quarterbacks, and wide receivers and they number just 92 players.

Event Schedule
To refresh your memories, we had mocked tight end Cole Kmet in our Mock Draft 1.0. And we created quite a discussion when we suggested the Rams might draft a better fit quarterback for head coach Sean McVay. I’ll go on record stating that I would not be the least bit surprised if the Rams do draft a developmental quarterback on day 3.
Many teams had historically taken a raw-talent quarterback to coach up and trade in the future for a better draft pick. With the Rams starving for picks each season, that strategy makes perfect sense to employ this season, particularly if the team is comfortable with QB John Wolford as the number two QB this season.
Just to refresh your memory, GROUP ONE’s schedule will look like this:
Sunday, February 23rd – Registration ~ Orientation ~ Interviews
Monday, February 24th – Measurements ~ Hospital pre-exam & X-rays ~ Interviews
Tuesday, February 25th – Media ~ Medical Examinations ~ Position coach interviews ~
Psychological Testing
Wednesday, February 26th – NFLPA Meeting ~ Bench press ~ Interviews ~ Psychological Testing
Thursday, February 27th – Limited testing~ Interviews ~ On-field Workout
Friday, February 28th – Departure from Indianapolis
That’s Group One’s list of attendees and schedule. We’ll work out each NFL Scouting Combine group for you to help you track the round-robin series of events.
