2020 NFL Mock Draft: Joe Burrow is Dolphins guy, Raiders snag Henry Ruggs III

Considering that the Indianapolis Colts are still alive to make the playoffs in the AFC this season after losing Andrew Luck to retirement in the middle of the preseason, Frank Reich should get some serious looks for NFL Coach of the Year, no matter how their playoff plight ultimately plays out. Having said that, this team is not complete and they look to upgrade the defense with their first-round pick.

Yes, I’ve said before that they should look at quarterback and I’m not backing down from that. However, with a player like A.J. Epensesa falling to them, I can’t pass that up for a defense that could use him. While the production of the Iowa defensive standout has not been great this season, that has more to do with the respect he commands. Joining the Colts, he could be a movable game-wrecker up front that will surely help Indy take a step forward.

Pick via Rams

After replacing Jalen Ramsey with their initial first-round pick, the Jaguars are now back on the clock in this 2020 NFL Mock Draft with the pick that they acquired from the Rams in the trade involving the cornerback. But now it’s time to turn the attention to the offense, a group that very much needs to get some life outside of D.J. Chark and, on occasion, Leonard Fournette.

Laviska Shenault Jr. can be the right guy for the job. The Colorado star is a Swiss-Army knife at the wide receiver position. He’s capable of making plays down field, can be an underneath threat that can break off a long run and can be lined up virtually anywhere on the offense. He’s a perfect piece for an offense that simply lacks the type of player that he is.
