2020 NFL Draft: First round mock draft as the NFL season begins
25. Oakland Raiders: Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia
After passing on quarterback earlier, the Oakland Raiders use their first-round pick from the Chicago Bears to find a new signal-caller. Jake Fromm is a rock-solid quarterback prospect who is smart and accurate with the football. He is never going to be overly impressive physically, but Fromm is an absolute gamer who could easily lead the Raiders to more success than Carr has ever been able to.
26. Philadelphia Eagles: Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
Xavier McKinney is a versatile safety prospect who can make an impact on the game in a variety of ways. He shows great range and ball skills on the back-end, has success as a man-to-man defender, can play in the box against the run and can even make an impact as a blitzer off of the edge. He is an interesting defensive chess piece who could make a major difference for the Philadelphia Eagles.
27. Green Bay Packers: De’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
There are many talented running backs in the 2020 NFL Draft class who are worthy of a first-round selection. However, the well-rounded skill-set of D’Andre Swift makes him the top running back off of the board in this mock draft. Swift is a true three-down back who can dominate as a runner on early downs and as a receiver on later downs. He is also a strong pass protector for a young back.
Swift is incredibly elusive in the open field, showing off an absolute dirty arsenal of moves that consistently leave defenders in the dust. He is also a smart back who shows great vision and patience and is a strong fit for any offensive attack. The Green Bay Packers find a running back here who would drastically help their offense and could increase the career of Aaron Rodgers.
28. Indianapolis Colts: Alton Robinson, EDGE, Syracuse
The Indianapolis Colts will likely be in the quarterback market during the 2020 NFL Draft, but picking so late in the first round hurt their chances of finding one. Instead, the Colts attack the defensive side of the ball and land Syracuse edge rusher Alton Robinson.
Robinson is an extremely explosive and bendy edge rusher who has massive upside at the next level. He is a fantastic natural pass rusher who fires off of the ball quickly and can bend around the edge with ease. If he can develop a true inside move to deep opposing offensive linemen honest, the sky is the limit for this 2020 NFL Draft prospect.
