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

Full disclosure, I’m not the biggest fan of Jacob Eason as an NFL prospect right now. The former Georgia quarterback and current Washington signal-caller clearly has an enticing set of physical tools with his big frame and howitzer of an arm. However, his play has been far too inconsistent for me to have full faith that he can be an immediate starter at the next level right now.

But at the same time, that’s what makes him a great fit for the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite their woes in 2019, Philip Rivers remains the guy in LA right now and should be for the next few years still. The team, however, needs to eye the future, so they could then bring in Eason and let him work and learn beneath Rivers on the depth chart for a few seasons, thus allowing the Huskies quarterback to refine his tools and develop into the player he obviously has the potential to be.

After taking Joe Burrow with their first pick in this 2020 NFL Mock Draft, the Miami Dolphins stick with the offense and, specifically, aim to protect their investment at quarterback by improving an offensive line that has largely been depleted of talent. To help remedy that problem moving forward, they take the other offensive tackle out of Alabama, Jedrick Wills.

Wills is not a perfect prospect by any measure but he’s an incredibly strong player on the edge of the offensive line. He can dominate in almost any physical battle in the trenches at the college level and should be the same in the NFL. Furthermore, he has the ability and relative physical tools to become a better pass-blocker with more nuance in his footwork, making him a great option for the Dolphins as they start constructing the future of this team.
