2020 NFL Mock Draft: Panthers start anew with Jalen Hurts, Cowboys luck into Delpit
Despite losing to the Ravens in Week 13, the San Francisco 49ers still very clearly look like a contender out of the NFC. The job that general manager John Lynch has done with this team is quite impressive. San Francisco’s defense is 100 percent elite and the offense has not been perfect but, with Kyle Shanahan running the show, they’ve been good enough to win a lot of football games.
While the Niners could look to replace Joe Staley as he continues to gray, the interior of the offensive line is the more pressing need in terms of quality and a player like Tyler Biadasz from Wisconsin has fallen to them. Biadasz is a Day 1 starter as a guard or center with the ability to grade the road easily, which suits this team perfectly. He’d make a potent rushing attack even more so and help the 49ers take even another step forward.
With the final pick of this 2020 NFL Mock Draft, we have the Baltimore Ravens, a team that is looking like the leading candidate to win Super Bowl LIV at this point. Lamar Jackson’s leap in year two from exciting young player to leading MVP candidate has been remarkable fun to watch and the defense has shown tremendous improvement as the year has gone on.
Having said that, the Ravens could stand to get their franchise quarterback more to work with as Marquise Brown and the tight ends have been great but there are few consistent options elsewhere (and even Brown isn’t that right now). Tee Higgins would add a new element to the wide receiving corps as the Clemson product has great size but also nice long speed to be a downfield and 50-50 ball threat to further open up a dynamic offense.
