2020 NFL Draft: LSU players go early in two-round 2020 NFL mock draft
I really wanted to take an offensive lineman here at 11, but I feel very strongly that if CeeDee Lamb is available for the Jets they will not pass on him. That is unless one of the top three lineman are available. This pick came down to Lamb or Andrew Thomas. With the insurance of George Fant playing one of the tackle spots, the Jets could wait to select his competition in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Raiders have been addressing their defense so far in free agency, landing a starting linebacker and corner which will allow them to take a receiver early in the 2020 NFL Draft. Jerry Jeudy would come in right away be their best receiver on the roster. It would also be a nice reunion with his former Bama teammate Josh Jacobs.
A nice little run on receivers here with the Niners snagging the speedster from Alabama, Henry Ruggs. San Francisco traded DeForest Buckner to Indianapolis which netted themselves the 13th overall pick.
With Emmanuel Sanders leaving for New Orleans this gives Jimmy Garoppolo a young dynamic playmaker to throw to. The 49ers also have Deebo Samuel, making this one of most dynamic wide receiver duos in the entire NFL.
Tom Brady is the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. WOW. That is going to take some time to get used to. Anyway, with the Jets passing on Thomas, Tampa Bay can now get some protection for Brady. Andrew Thomas is a great pass protector and should have no problem starting right away protecting Brady’s blindside. There have been questions whether or not he’ll have to move to guard at the next level, but I see him staying at tackle and being a dominant force.
This is a tough spot for the Broncos to be in. The top three wide receivers and offensive linemen are off the board so they could look to trade back. However, with no trades in this mock draft, Denver takes the fourth-best wide receiver in Justin Jefferson. I am extremely high on the LSU receiver, and this may be a bit early for some people, but I really like this fit. Jefferson could pair well with Courtland Sutton and Drew Lock gets another big-time target to throw to.
