Way-too-early 2020 NFL mock draft: Getting to know the 2020 class
19. player. 44. <ul> <li><strong>Height:</strong> 6-foot-5</li> <li><strong>Weight: </strong>291 pounds</li> <li><strong>Class: </strong>Junior</li> </ul>. DL. Auburn. Nick Coe
Somewhat surprisingly, the Atlanta Falcons did not address their defensive tackle situation in the 2019 NFL Draft. Grady Jarrett will play the 2019 season on the franchise tag and if the Falcons were to lose him in free agency, it would leave a massive hole in the middle of their defensive.
In this 2020 NFL mock draft, the Falcons take Nick Coe out of Auburn, an explosive defensive lineman who could help fill that hole. Coe has primarily played defensive end in college, but he shows the necessary skill set to be a dynamic interior rusher at the next level. Coe is extremely explosive off of the ball and shows good quickness and athleticism for a man of his size. He has a ton of upside as a one-gap penetrator and would be an ideal replacement for Jarrett should the Falcons lose him in free agency.
20. player. 13. <ul> <li><strong>Height: </strong>6-foot-6</li> <li><strong>Weight: </strong>228 pounds</li> <li><strong>Class: </strong>Junior</li> </ul>. QB. Washington. Jacob Eason
There were a lot of whispers surrounding the Los Angeles Chargers and the quarterback position this off season. The team appears ready to find their eventual replacement for Philip Rivers and Jacob Eason would be an ideal fit.
Eason was good as a true freshman starting quarterback at Georgia, but was injured during the season opener as a sophomore and never got his starting job back. Eason transferred to Washington after the 2017 season, forcing him to sit out all of 2018. He is certainly a bit of an unknown at this point, but Eason is a former top recruit who has a nice combination of arm strength, mobility and accuracy that gives him exciting upside at the next level.
He has a chance to establish himself as an elite quarterback prospect this season and it is going to be interesting to see if he can do so. Regardless, he would back an enticing target for the Chargers in the 2020 draft.
