2020 NFL Draft: Two-round mock draft featuring Joe Burrow going No. 2
Alabama linebacker Dyland Moses tore his ACL before 2019 season even began and will not see the field at all this year. However, as far as the 2020 NFL Draft goes, his knee injury does not really bother me. We know that Moses is a stud and guys come back from these injuries all of the time now.
He will have plenty of time to get back and healthy for the start of his rookie season. To me, Moses is still an easy first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The New Orleans Saints snag him here, hoping that he fills their need at the linebacker position.
The San Francisco 49ers have done an incredible job of building an extremely well-rounded roster with few holes. It was difficult to fill a position of need for this team with a prospect worthy of being selected in this range, but who couldn’t use some quality offensive line depth?
Prince Tega Wanogho is an extremely raw, but talented offensive tackle who has fantastic upside at the next level. He may take a year or two to grow, but Wanogho is an extremely athletic player who the 49ers could draft to take over for Joe Staley at left tackle down the line.
The New England Patriots go on the clock for the final pick of the first round in this 2020 NFL draft scenario. Here, they add some much-needed offensive line depth by bringing in TCU offensive tackle Lucas Niang.
Niang is a massive man (listed at 6-foot-7, 328 pounds, but I’d be surprised if he isn’t even heavier) with long arms and obvious power in his game. Despite his size, Niang moves extremely well. He is explosive off of the ball, shows quick feet in pass protection and can reach the second level in the run game. Niang has all of the skills to be a dominant offensive tackle at the next level.
