QB. Utah State. 13. player. Scouting Report. Jordan Love. 46. Pick Analysis

It is extremely difficult to predict what the Indianapolis Colts will do in the 2020 NFL Draft. They certainly may look to address their quarterback situation, but it depends on how the board shakes out. In this scenario where Jordan Love is available at No. 13 overall, I think the Colts would jump in and take Love as their new franchise quarterback.

Love is an extremely risky prospect whose value is built primarily on raw talent and upside, but the Colts would be in a great situation to get the most out of his at the next level. With Jacoby Brissett on the roster and Philip Rivers on their radar, Love would not be immediately forced into action. He would likely be able to sit and learn for an entire season, allowing him to properly develop at a slower pace.

Love is undoubtedly a talented quarterback prospect who has a ton of long-term upside. He is worth taking a shot on in this range for a team like Indianapolis.

54. Pick Analysis. WR. Jerry Jeudy. player. Scouting Report. Alabama. 14

The Panthers trade down again! After picking up an extra first-round pick for next year earlier, Carolina snags a second-round 2021 pick from the Philadelphia Eagles here. This would be a good way for this team to build up capital that could potentially be used in a trade for a franchise quarterback.

The Philadelphia Eagles are the team coming up to the pick, as they sense an opportunity to add a player who can help take them over the top. Jerry Jeudy is arguably the best wide receiver in the loaded 2020 NFL Draft class at the position.

He is an elite-level route runner who uses great short-area quickness and acceleration to consistently create space from the defender. Jeudy is also a tremendous run after catch receiver who should be able to make an immediate impact at the next level. The Eagles have a major need at the wide receiver position and Jeudy is among the best available this offseason. Trading away a bit of capital in order to secure his services could make some sense for this team.

15. 45. OT. Andrew Thomas. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Georgia

With the top three receivers off of the board, the Denver Broncos turn their attention to the offensive line. Andrew Thomas is not the most athletic offensive tackle around, but he is a big, smart and powerful player who has a safe floor at the next level. Thomas had an extremely impressive college career and is a fair bet to be a solid NFL left tackle for many years. Nice value for Denver at a position of need here.

South Carolina. 44. 16. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. IDL. Javon Kinlaw

We see Javon Kinlaw slide down the board a bit in this mock draft and the Atlanta Falcons are the team that benefits. Kinlaw has great overall size and length on the interior defensive line and shows an extremely well-rounded skill-set. He is a powerful player who also gets off of the ball quickly and shows immense upside as a one-gap penetrator. The Falcons have major needs across their defensive line and adding Kinlaw to the mix would certainly be a step in the right direction.

CB. Florida. C.J. Henderson. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 17. 123

The Dallas Cowboys will likely have to make many significant additions to their secondary this offseason, especially if they lose Byron Jones in free agency. C.J. Henderson stands out as the premier cornerback available here at No. 17. He is a smooth and athletic cornerback prospect who is consistently sticky in man-to-man coverage. Henderson has a ton of ability in coverage and would be a valuable addition to the Dallas secondary.
