2020 NFL Draft: Roberts’ preseason mock draft
By Ryan Roberts
Jon Gruden often speaks his praises for his starting quarterback with the now-Oakland Raiders, Derek Carr. I’m still not buying it.
With their choice of every quarterback still available, they head down to Tuscaloosa and select star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. With elite pocket presence, accuracy and ball placement, Tagovailoa represents the franchise quarterback the Raiders have needed for some time now.
Add in Tua’s athleticism and ability to win off script, we have some real excitement brewing in year three of the Gruden era and the first year playing in Sin City for the Raiders.
With the New York Giants decision to trade away star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns this offseason, it has left a major hole at the skill position. Outside of the oft-injured Sterling Shephard, there is a whole lot of nothing to get excited about for whoever is manning the quarterback position for the Giants.
A makeover at the position is a need in the near future. Luckily for the Giants, the 2020 NFL Draft class is littered with an array of talented pass-catchers.
With the fourth selection, they get the most talented one. Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy could very well be one of the top two or three prospects in the entire 2020 NFL Draft class. He will immediately provide the Giants with playmaking ability to threaten defenses on all levels of the field.
