2020 NFL Draft: Four teams find franchise QB in two-round NFL mock draft
Javon Kinlaw. 9. player. 52. . DL. Jacksonville Jaguars
The second defensive tackle falls off the board and lands in Duval. The Jaguars have to pair someone up the middle with Taven Bryan and they make the call to select the tackle from South Carolina Javon Kinlaw.
Kinlaw would come in a compete with Bryan and veteran Abry Jones for the starting gig in 2020. I believe Kinlaw has the potential to become a Chris Jones type of player at the next level.
Biggest Needs: IDL, CB, S
player. 53. . OT. Cleveland Browns. Jedrick Wills Jr. 10
The Cleveland Browns have a need for a left tackle and select Jedrick Wills Jr. from Alabama with this selection. The Browns only have a total of three offensive tackles currently on the roster and two of them are right tackles. Chris Hubbard is the only possible option at left tackle and they need to add at least two throughout the 2020 NFL Draft.
Adding a tackle in the first round and then adding one on day three makes the most sense for the Browns. The Browns have a roster full of star players but they need to protect Baker Mayfield so he has time to make throws down the field.
Biggest Needs: OT, S, LB
11. player. 30. . OT. New York Jets. Mekhi Becton
Another offensive lineman falls off the board and it was a toss-up between the Jets taking wide receiver Jerry Jeudy or Mekhi Becton with the 11th selection in this mock. I chose the need to give Sam Darnold protection as a priority with a class of wide receivers that are strong throughout the entire 2020 NFL Draft.
Currently, at left tackle, the Jets have George Fant and Conor McDermott. Fant came over from the Seahawks and McDermott came over from the Buffalo Bills. Both tackles can help in 2020 but ultimately a long term solution at left tackle is ideal for the Jets and that is why Becton is the best pick here.
Biggest Needs: OT, Edge, WR
WR. Las Vegas Raiders. CeeDee Lamb. 12. player. 28.
With the first of two first-round picks, the Raiders look to the offensive side of the ball. After last year’s Antonio Brown saga, the Raiders need a true number one receiver for Derek Carr.
Hunter Renfrow played well out of the slot, but they still need some more legitimate options on the outside. They did bring in former Eagles receiver Nelson Agholor on a one-year deal for depth, but more is definitely needed here.
Lamb had back-to-back 60+ receptions and 1,000+ yards receiving seasons for the Oklahoma Sooners and is undoubtedly one of the best receivers in a loaded 2020 NFL Draft class.
Biggest Needs: WR, CB, OL
