2020 NFL Draft: LSU players go early in two-round 2020 NFL mock draft
Alabama. player. 59. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 26. Safety. Xavier McKinney
This pick right here could potentially make the Dolphins secondary one of the most feared in the game. They already have a top cornerback duo with Jones and Howard and when you add a versatile safety like Xavier McKinney to the mix, it makes them that much better.
player. Scouting Report. Center. LSU. Lloyd Cushenberry III. 27. Pick Analysis. 36
The Seattle Seahawks have one of the best quarterbacks in all of football and they need to start protecting him at some point. Lloyd Cushenberry is my highest graded interior lineman in the 2020 NFL Draft. This wasn’t that hard of a decision to make. They also have a number of capable running backs on the roster (when healthy) that can benefit with this selection as Cushenberry could be a great lead blocker for them as well.
player. 26. Scouting Report. EDGE. Iowa. A.J. Epenesa. 28. Pick Analysis
The Ravens did acquire veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell, but I just love the fit of A.J. Epenesa in this defense. He could line up off the edge or kick inside and contribute right away for Baltimore. There’s also a question of if Matt Judon will play on the franchise tag or if he’ll be traded.
35. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. IDL. Oklahoma. Neville Gallimore. 29. player
The Tennessee Titans are running it back with their offense signing Ryan Tannehill to a big contract extension and slapping the franchise tag on Derrick Henry. They did lose their starting right tackle to the Browns, but seem content with Dennis Kelly as the new starter.
Tennessee also traded Jurrell Casey to the Broncos creating a glaring need on the interior defensive line. Sitting there at 29 in the 2020 NFL Draft is Neville Gallimore, an extremely gifted interior defensive lineman out of Oklahoma. Gallimore is a very good one-tech lineman who has the quickness and power to cause problems for the opposition.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Wide Receiver. 30. player. Coloroda. Laviska Shenault Jr.. 49
The Green Bay Packers fixed their defense last offseason, but now it is time to help Aaron Rodgers and give him some weapons besides Davante Adams. Laviska Shenault Jr. is a very versatile wide receiver that can run with the best of them. He could be used in a multitude of ways in Green Bays offense.
Cornerback. Auburn. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. player. 42. Noah Igbinoghene. 31
The San Francisco 49ers were close to winning the Super Bowl but coughed up the lead to Pat Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. If the 49ers want to get back in position to win a championship, they’ll have to upgrade their secondary. The Niners select Noah Igbinoghene in this 2020 NFL Draft scenario, who is an athletic and physical cornerback that still has a lot of room to grow. He could come in and learn the ropes from one of the best to do it, Richard Sherman.
Scouting Report. Cesar Ruiz. player. Pick Analysis. IOL. Michigan. 32. 124
The number one priority for the Chiefs has to be to protect the best quarterback in the game. They also have to sure up the interior of their offensive line which will help whichever running back is running behind it. In the first round of this 2020 NFL Draft scenario, the Chiefs take Cesar Ruiz, who can play either guard spot and center and could step in immediately for Kansas City.
