2020 NFL Draft: Roberts’ too-early mock draft for next year
By Ryan Roberts
27. Seattle Seahawks: Trey Adams, OT, Washington
Despite some 2018 offensive success, the Seattle Seahawks should still be in the business of improving their offensive line. Left tackle Duane Brown will be 34 years old when the 2020 season begins and right tackle Germain Ifedi just isn’t very good.
Washington offensive tackle Trey Adams was one of the early favorites to be among the first offensive linemen off the board in the 2019 draft class. Injuries, unfortunately, derailed most of his redshirt junior season. Adams is now back to recapture some of his past draft buzz. Whether he fits best at left or right tackle, Adams has all physical traits to become a viable option at one of the bookends.
28. Los Angeles Chargers: Jacob Eason, QB, Washington
Philip Rivers‘ career is beginning to wind down. There should be a heavy push soon to establish a quarterback of the future once RIvers chooses to hang them up. 2019 fifth-round selection Easton Stick isn’t going to cut it. The 2020 NFL Draft class has a ton of potential, boasting several intriguing options in the first round. One dark horse first-round selection may be now Washington quarterback Jacob Eason.
After beginning his career at the University of Georgia before losing his starting position to Jake Fromm, Eason chose to change scenery and take his game to the University of Washington. The 6-6, 232-pounder boasts the frame and special arm to potentially dominate in a vertical base passing offense.
