2020 NFL Mock Draft: Panthers start anew with Jalen Hurts, Cowboys luck into Delpit
Jack Driscoll. 27. player. 59. . OT. Miami Dolphins
Pick via Texans
After getting Tua with the No. 10 pick and then addressing their need for a defensive playmaker with Epenesa at No. 20, the attention of the Dolphins now turns back to the offense. The line that would be protecting Tagovailoa now is miles from where it needs to be to set the young quarterback up for success. Thus, that’s the move here and Jack Driscoll is a player to help them make a move there.
Driscoll often gets over-shadowed at Auburn by left tackle Prince Tega-Wanogho but the former is actually the better player right now. He doesn’t have the elite physical traits of his teammate but he is a strong and extremely sound player on the right side of the line. He checks every box to be a Day 1 starter that helps shore up what would be the left-handed Tagovailoa’s blindside.
Green Bay Packers. Kenneth Murray. 28. player. 49. . LB
Even after 13 weeks, it feels like we’re still trying to figure out what to make of the Green Bay Packers. While this team is unbelievably impressive at their best, the variance in performance has been wild in the first season under head coach Matt LaFleur. One thing that’s been made certain, though, is that this defense needs to shore things up in the middle of that unit at linebacker.
Dipping into the talent pool from Oklahoma, the Packers peg Kenneth Murray to be their guy here. Murray had questions about his speed coming into the season, despite incredible tackle numbers from last year, and he’s answered them definitively. Murray is a rocket that can move incredibly well sideline-to-sideline, which pairs well with his instincts as a playmaker. He could be a subtle game-changer for the Packers defense if they nab him at No. 28.
