2020 NFL Draft: First-round mock draft includes Joe Burrow in top 12
Personally, I am not a huge Tee Higgins fan. Yes, he is a massive wide receiver who can dominate most contested-catch situations, but Higgins lacks in other areas. He does not shows the ability to consistently separate from coverage and is not much of a run after catch threat. His ability to catch the ball in traffic is legitimate, but I would like to see more out of Higgins.
While Higgins is not my guy, I understand the appeal and would not be a bit surprised to see him go in the first round. Honestly, he feels like a strong fit for the Baltimore Ravens.
Getting as many playmakers as possible for Lamar Jackson should be priority number one for the Ravens. Higgins is the kind of guy who can help erase any accuracy issues when the ball is thrown his way. He also stands out as a great compliment to last year’s first-round pick, Marquise Brown.
Just two picks after making their last selection, the Raiders are on the clock again. They continue to address the defensive side of the ball, this time bringing in Penn State edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos.
Gross-Matos is an extremely long and athletic edge rusher who gets off of the ball quickly and can bend around the edge with ease. He uses his long arms well as a pass rusher and shows some real explosive closing speed on the quarterback.
Gross-Matos is a relatively raw talent who needs some refinement in order to reach his full potential. However, he is an extremely talented player who has a high ceiling at the next level.
