2020 NFL Mock Draft: Chargers grab Jalen Hurts, Jerry Jeudy to Redskins
By Randy Gurzi
The Green Bay Packers could go a couple of ways here. They could add some weapons for Aaron Rodgers on offense, which they could really use. Or they could continue to add talent to their defense which is suddenly really stout. Due to the talent level of Dylan Moses, who is still on the board here, they go the defensive route.
Moses tore his ACL and will miss the entire season but showed off some impressive skills before this year. He likely goes much higher than this without the injury which is why Green Bay doesn’t pass him up even if it’s not their biggest need.
Just like the Packers, New Orleans could go more than one route. They might consider a quarterback here with Drew Brees being over 40 — or they could turn to Teddy Bridgewater full time. They could also add some help on the defensive side of the ball at linebacker, cornerback, or safety. Or they could get someone to compliment Michael Thomas.
That’s the route they end up taking in this mock as they select TCU’s Jalen Reagor. While he hasn’t exploded this season as expected, Reagor is a player who excels with the ball in his hands. In New Orleans, he will also have the benefit of not being the No. 1 weapon, which will allow him to take advantage of some softer coverages than if he ended up on a wide receiver-starved roster.
