Kiper sends WR Chase Claypool to Packers in new mock draft

Mel Kiper’s third mock draft of the 2020 draft season has the Green Bay Packers taking another receiver.

Previously, Kiper sent Penn State’s K.J. Hamler and LSU’s Justin Jefferson to the Packers at No. 30 overall in the first round. This time? Kiper has a much different idea.

His latest mock draft has the Packers getting Notre Dame’s Chase Claypool, a rarely seen player in first-round mocks.

From Kiper: “Claypool had an electrifying combine, running a 4.42 40 and putting up a 40.5-inch vertical at 6-foot-4, 238 pounds. This might be a slight reach, but a team could fall in love with his traits, and he produced last season, catching 66 passes for 1,037 yards and 13 touchdowns.
