Three Oregon Ducks Listed in Updated ESPN NFL Mock Draft
ESPN’s Jordan Reid had a big two-round mock draft update following the NFL combine. He posted it based on feedback around the league with interest, needs and possible trade scenarios. Of course with just under 2 months to go until the draft, things will change.
Oregon sent 12 participants to Indianapolis for the combine. And several had big days leading to some ‘stock up’ reviews.
With his latest mock draft, Reid has three Oregon players being selected in the first two rounds of the NFL draft. Here is a look at those picks and why.
Round 1
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Considering the draft capital the Packers have used on the defensive line, the returns haven’t been as good as they hoped. Let’s get Green Bay a difference-maker. At just under 6-foot-5 and 313 pounds, Harmon had an FBS-best 34 pressures at defensive tackle, and his 10.7% pressure rate ranked second among all defensive tackles. Harmon was also a big winner at the combine, running the 40-yard dash in 4.95 seconds. He needs to do a better job of playing with more control and finishing, but he’s the type of interior presence that’s needed in Green Bay alongside Kenny Clark.

Round 2
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
After taking the best overall prospect in Round 1, the Patriots can address their other pressing need in the second round. Because of his balance, increased strength and upside, Conerly has the potential to be a plug-and-play starter at right or left tackle.
50. Seattle Seahawks
Jordan Burch, DL, Oregon
Mike Macdonald’s multiple-front defense requires lots of mixing and matching in various alignments, which Burch is perfect for. At 6-foot-4, 279 pounds, he can be deployed as a 3-technique in an even front or a 4-technique in odd alignments.
