2020 NFL Draft: 1st round mock projections following divisional games

There’s going to be a ton of speculation about the Indianapolis Colts taking a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft, but it may not happen in the first round. Here, the Colts have Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy fall right into their lap. Jeudy can work on the outside and in the slot and is a fantastic route runner who also can win down the field with his speed. He and T.Y. Hilton would be a fun duo.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently facing free agency where Shaq Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Ndamukong Suh are going to all be free agents. This creates a big need along the defensive line. Luckily, A.J. Epenesa is here for the taking. After a slow start to the season, Epenesa got things going, creating pressure with good technique on the edge and winning on passing downs from the interior.

The Denver Broncos look like they have found a quarterback who can give them an opportunity to win, and now it’s about building this team around Drew Lock to get themselves back to the postseason. Selecting corner Kristian Fulton would be a good start for Denver, especially with Chris Harris Jr. entering free agency. Fulton is a great man cover corner who thrives with quickness and football IQ.

The Atlanta Falcons have often been mocked A.J. Epenesa in previous 2020 NFL Draft mocks. Now, with Epenesa gone, the Falcons shift priority to the interior. Javon Kinlaw has incredible upside as a pass rusher, and pairing him with Grady Jarrett on the interior would terrorize opponents in the NFC South.
