Washington Redskins complete seven-round 2020 NFL mock draft
By Matt Murray
Tyler Johnson could be a second-round pick in most drafts, but with this class being so loaded at wide receiver, there is a good chance he falls all the way into the fourth round. Johnson is a great route runner and is spectacular creating separation at the line of scrimmage and breaking out of his routes. He is a versatile player with the ability to play both in the slot and as an outside receiver and does a great job creating separation in the tight windows of the red zone.
Johnson does come with his weaknesses which include not having the same top speed as the top 2020 prospects and his struggle with some concentration drops over his college career, with 24 drops on 238 possible catchable balls. The drops are something he should be able to clean up as many of them are strictly just watching the ball all the way in before trying to make a play. As for his speed, the route running and ability to create separation will make up for his speed in most scenarios.
Solomon Kindley was a two and a half year starter at Georgia who has shown great improvement in the past three years after having a slow start at RG and being moved to the left side. Kindley is a behemoth of a guard at 337 pounds. He shows impressive power and can manhandle just about any defensive lineman once he gets his hand on them. He was great in run blocking and creating gaping holes in Georgia’s run-heavy offense.
He will need to work on his footwork in pass sets and his speed getting up and out of his stance. One of his strengths could also be a factor in one of his weaknesses as his size helps him to overpower opponents but also attributes to his lack of quickness. In the NFL, Kindley will need to be carrying more functional weight but could step in at a minimum as a rotational role at either guard position for the Washington Redskins.
