2020 NFL Draft: Jerry Jeudy slides in this three-round NFL mock draft
45. 48. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. RB. Clemson. Travis Etienne. player
Five picks after the first running back went off of the board, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take another one. Travis Etienne is an incredibly fast and explosive player in the open field. He does not have much natural elusiveness, but when Etienne finds a crease, he can explode through the hole and take it to the house from anywhere on the field. Etienne also does a great job of finishing with power and making the most out of every run.
The Bucs may not want to spend a premium pick on a running back, but Etienne is a potential game-changer who could help take their offense to the next level.
CB. Virginia. Bryce Hall. 46. player. 87. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
If it weren’t for a major ankle injury that he suffered earlier this season, Bryce Hall would likely be a first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. He is a smart cornerback who shows great instincts in coverage and extremely impressive ball skills. If Hall can come back healthy and make an impact as a rookie, he could end up being a major steal in this range of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Houston. Pick Analysis. Josh Jones. 47. player. 53. Scouting Report. OT
Josh Jones is an athletic offensive tackle who has long arms. He is certainly a bit of a work in progress, but he shows the skill set needed to be a strong blindside protector at the next level. If this pick works out, the Browns fill their massive hole at the left tackle position.
Pick Analysis. IOL. 48. player. Scouting Report. Darryl Williams. 57. Mississippi State
Interior offensive line has been a major issue for the Chicago Bears this season. James Daniels and Cody Whitehair have not progressed as well as the Bears had hoped and veteran Kyle Long is no longer a viable starting option. While they are not exactly loaded with 2020 NFL draft capital, they simply must improve their current offensive line situation.
Whether Darryl Williams plays guard or center at the next level, he should be able to come in and make an impact. Williams is a tough and physical player who does a great job as a run blocker and always seems to take care of his responsibilities in pass protection. A trio of Daniels, Whitehair and Williams on the interior could work out well for the Bears.
