2020 NFL Mock Draft: Pre-Combine 3-round projection fueled by trades
player. 35. . EDGE. Tennessee Titans. Terrell Lewis. 29
Harold Landry has proven to be a steal for the Tennessee Titans as a second-round pick and they have some other nice pieces on the edge with veteran Cameron Wake and with D’Andre Walker ready to take the field. They need depth and pop at that spot, however, and Jon Robinson takes another big swing here by going after Terrell Lewis. Medicals at the NFL Combine will be critical for Lewis given an extensive injury history but his performance on the field and athletic profile are that of a first-round caliber player capable of making an instant impact on defense.
WR. Green Bay Packers. K.J. Hamler. 30. player. 49.
Much like the Saints at No. 24, the Green Bay Packers sit in a position where they have a clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver, Davante Adams, and a future Hall-of-Fame quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. What they need is another reliable target in the offense that can keep defenses honest. K.J. Hamler is that. Though the Penn State product is diminutive in stature, his playmaking ability and speed are anything but little. He can be a speed threat that really opens up the Green Bay offense.
Grant Delpit. 31. player. 42. . S. San Francisco 49ers
After falling just short in the Super Bowl, the 49ers actually have a crucial offseason ahead where they could need to retool the offensive line, replace Arik Armstead and maybe add a receiver. But with that somewhat up in the air right now, they take the best player available at a clear position of need, Grant Delpit. The Niners lack some playmakers on the back end of the secondary and, though the LSU product’s tackling has been in question, Delpit’s tools as a coverage player are second to none.
player. 124. . RB. Kansas City Chiefs. D'Andre Swift. 32
Winning a Super Bowl for the first time in five decades has Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs sitting pretty. Even still, they could be in need of several things on the defense as that’s still obviously the weakest part of their roster. And yet, I can’t help but make a strength stronger by giving the offense more firepower.
As good as Damien Williams was in the Super Bowl, D’Andre Swift is more dangerous. His ability to be an every-down back with big-play ability in the rushing and passing attack are the best in the 2020 draft class at the position and he can be a force in this high-octane group.
