Whether it’s Drew Brees or Teddy Bridgewater throwing to him, Michael Thomas is good enough at wide receiver to make anything happen on offense. What’s fascinating, though, is that Thomas remains underwhelming as it pertains to his speed and downfield big-play ability. The Saints offense as a whole actually lacks a young, consistent player who fills that void but fix that in this 2020 NFL Mock Draft.
Jalen Reagor is not my favorite prospect in the grand scheme but the TCU star is perfect for what the Saints offense could use. With high-end speed and elite quickness, Reagor would pair perfectly with Thomas to be the lightning with the thunder that Thomas brings in the aerial attack for New Orleans.
Another NFL Mock Draft, another tight end heading to the New England Patriots. It’s been obvious this season for Bill Belichick’s team, though, how much they’ve missed having a player like Rob Gronkowski or even 75 percent of what he Gronk was in the offense. That’s something that they must address moving forward and most everyone would project them to do so sooner rather than later in the 2020 draft.
That brings Hunter Bryant into focus. The Washington tight end has every first round tool you want with his ability to provide an offense with a dynamic playmaker out of the slot that has the frame to also develop as a blocker. Bryant’s big issue, though, is his health as he’s had a difficult time staying on the field. He’s healthy now, though, and if he can stay that way, he’d be a worthwhile risk for the Patriots offense.
