2020 NFL Mock Draft, final 7-round prediction: Patriots trade up for QB
RB. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. J.K. Dobbins. 45. player. 48. Ohio State
Probably the worst-kept secret in terms of potential second-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft is that the Buccaneers are going to take a running back. Ronald Jones II is fine but they need an overall upgrade. J.K. Dobbins is a gift for them as he falls into their lap. He can be an asset in the rushing and passing attacks that gives Brady another top-end weapon to work with.
Pick Analysis. USC. player. 45. Scouting Report. OT. Austin Jackson. 46
Offensive tackle is a sneaky need for the Broncos as Garett Bolles just hasn’t worked out as hoped. That’s why Denver uses their second-round pick at his spot to take Austin Jackson and see what he can do early. Jackson has a ton of physical gifts but needs work and technical refinement to be ready to consistently start at the pro level.
Pick Analysis. Arizona State. Brandon Aiyuk. Scouting Report. WR. 47. player. 52
(Pick via Falcons) There is a sizeable contingency of people who are super high on Brandon Aiyuk. I don’t fall into that camp. I worry about his ability to win outside of overtly schemed touches. However, his run-after-catch ability is notable and would add another element to the Jaguars offense who should be able to actually scheme up those touches for him.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Tee Higgins. player. WR. Clemson. 48. 30
Tee Higgins is undoubtedly not my favorite wide receiver prospect either. However, when you look at his production at Clemson and his big frame, there is a path to NFL success for him. While he lacks top-end speed, his frame alone makes him a valuable target for Darnold in the Jets offense considering how barren the cupboard currently is.
