2020 NFL Draft: First-round mock draft includes Jalen Hurts in the top 15
16. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Cornerback. Ohio State. Shaun Wade. 27. player
Shaun Wade is a great athlete who can play all over the secondary. While Wade plays primarily in the slot at Ohio State, he has the potential to be a lockdown outside corner in the NFL. He is a quick-twitch athlete who has the agility and speed to stay with any receiver.
Wade plays very physically both in coverage and in run support. He can also play zone with good instincts, reading the quarterback’s eyes and using his quickness to make plays. It would be interesting to see how Wade would transition to playing outside, but the Bills could deploy him however they’d like to.
The Bills hang their hat of the defensive side of the ball, so it may make the most sense to some people that they address their offense through the 2020 NFL Draft. I think that if they add just a couple more key pieces to this defense, however, they could be Patriots level good. Wade would be able to contribute inside or outside and would be another defensive playmaker for the Buffalo Bills.
15. Scouting Report. 28. player. Pick Analysis. Linebacker . Alabama. Dylan Moses
The Saints would be ecstatic to get a guy like Dylan Moses at this point in the draft. Moses is a dynamic linebacker prospect who checks many of the boxes that Devin White and Devin Bush did a year ago. But Moses is out for the 2019 season with a major knee injury, and that may cause him to slide a bit in the 2020 NFL Draft.
In my opinion, the Saints may be the most complete team in the NFL right now. They have been firing on all cylinders even without Drew Brees. Now with him back, they should be able to make a Super Bowl run. That being said, the point is that the Saints don’t have too many needs and can take a chance on a super talented player coming off of an injury.
Moses led the Tide in tackles last year and can range from sideline to sideline. He is incredibly fast with elite explosiveness. He is also a very strong and physical player who can run around or through blocks to get to the ball carrier. Also effective dropping back in coverage, there’s not a whole lot a healthy Moses can’t do.
In this spot, the Saints add some youth to their linebacking corps that has been playing well but may not be around for the future. Moses will look to have a career like some of the other great Bama backers that have come before him, and if he does, the Saints got a steal at 28.
