Two-round 2020 NFL mock draft: Where will the top players land?
Scouting Report. LSU. 30. 49. Pick Analysis. Wide Receiver. Justin Jefferson. player
The Packers have lacked a receiver to go opposite Davante Adams for awhile now. Having that number two option is very important especially when you have a future hall of fame quarterback in Aaron Rodgers.
Believe it or not, it was Green Bay’s defense that led them to win the division giving them a bye in the playoffs. For the Packers to really take it to the next level they’ll have to get a receiver that is capable of drawing attention away from Adams.
Justin Jefferson could be a solid number two option for Rodgers. He’s shown all season that he’s a legit playmaker. He doesn’t have amazing speed or strength but he’s a very good route runner and will attack the football at its highest point. In his final season at LSU, he caught 111 passes for 1,540 yards and18 touchdowns.
42. Pick Analysis. player. Alabama. Xavier McKinney. 31. Scouting Report. Safety
The San Francisco 49ers could sure up the back end of their defense in the draft by taking Alabama safety Xavier McKinney.
McKinney is a top 25 talent who falls to the Niners at 31. He has a bunch of potential to be a top playmaker for this defense. His range has been questioned, but he could put them to rest with a strong pre-draft process. He has the ability to come into the box and make big-time plays, just like Jamal Adams.
McKinney has also seen time rushing the passer. He could be a hybrid safety that basically does it all. His versatility could be exactly what the Niners need at the back end of their secondary. They could’ve addressed their interior line, but none were worth the pick value.
Scouting Report. Running Back. Georgia. D'Andre Swift. 32. player. 124. Pick Analysis
The Chiefs, in this scenario, are coming off a super bowl victory. They do not have many holes to fill, but adding a running back like D’Andre Swift could make an exciting offense even more dominant.
Swift does a number of things well, but his vision is at the top of the charts. He has tremendous balance allowing him to break from shoulder tackles. If you don’t wrap him up he won’t be going down. He has the ability as a receiver out of the backfield.
The Chiefs offense could be at a completely different level by adding a running back with Swift’s ability. He will make the opposing defenses account for the run which will allow their speedy receivers to break free outside.
