The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine Group two 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 Two attendees. These are special teams, offensive linemen, and running backs and they number just 94 players.
This will be a group of special interest to the Rams. We know that the Rams have two starting free agents whose contracts expired in 2019 in Andrew Whitworth and Austin Blythe. The number of injuries suffered in 2019

Event Schedule
To refresh your memories, we had mocked running back Salvon Ahmed in a special feature article. We’ve covered the likelihood of drafting offensive linemen extensively so far. I expect the Rams to add a pair of offensive linemen in this draft. If you want to check out our Mock Drafts, here are the Links:

Mock Draft 2.0
The Rams attempted to add depth to the running backs by selecting Darrell Henderson in round three of the 2019 NFL Draft. If the team is moving on from a running back, this would be a great year to add a late round rusher, or even in undrafted free agency. And the offensive line is fairly deep this year as well. Finally, the Rams will likely add a new kicker to the team from the 2020 NFL Draft class, although I won’t project using a draft pick to do so.
Just to refresh your memory, Group Two’s schedule will look like this:
Monday, February 24th – Registration ~ Orientation ~ Interviews
Tuesday, February 25th – Measurements ~ Hospital pre-exam & X-rays ~ Interviews
Wednesday, February 26th – Media ~ Medical Examinations ~ Position coach interviews ~
Psychological Testing
Thursday, February 27th – NFLPA Meeting ~ Bench press ~ Interviews ~ Psychological Testing
Friday, February 28th – Limited testing~ Interviews ~ On-field Workout
Saturday, February 29th – Departure from Indianapolis
That’s Group Two’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.
