2020 NFL Mock Draft: Packers trade back, Browns and Eagles move up
Trading Stefon Diggs leaves the Vikings in need of someone that they can pair with Adam Thielen in the offense. Lucky for them, Justin Jefferson has fallen a bit and they are able to land the LSU product with the 25th overall pick. He’s big, long and extremely versatile with great route-running, sticky hands and impressive speed that he wowed with at the NFL Combine to the surprise of many. He can be an immediate replacement for Diggs.

Offensive tackle has to be addressed as soon as possible for the Dolphins if they’re going to protect Tagovailoa. That’s why they take Josh Jones with the No. 26 overall pick. Having said that, the Houston product has some development ahead as he’s not a finished product. Neither is Miami though, which makes him a pretty nice fit as he can be a long-term answer even if the short-term results aren’t wholly promising.
Yetur Gross-Matos isn’t going to be an elite player right away for the Seattle Seahawks. He needs to develop as a pass-rusher and, though his strength is run defense, he needs to become more consistent in that regard. However, he has all of the length, explosiveness and strength on the edge to be a great player and Seattle has the need and coaching staff to develop him and maximize his talents.
There are a few areas where the Baltimore Ravens need to address this offseason and linebacker is one of them. So with Patrick Queen on the board, they can’t pass it up. He’s an unbelievable athlete in the middle of the defense who can do everything the Ravens need. Queen can move sideline-to-sideline, attack runners, excel in coverage and even explode as a blitzer. He needs to add a bit more bulk but he has star potential in the NFL.
