2020 NFL Draft: Day 2 mock draft predicting Rounds 2-3 after the first round
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR. 65. 56. Clemson. Tee Higgins. player
A.J. Green will play the 2020 season on the franchise tag in Cincinnati, meaning the Bengals need a big-body wide receiver to take his spot for the future. Tee Higgins may not possess top-tier athleticism but he’s a big target who proved himself plenty while at Clemson.
Scouting Report. OT. Lucas Niang. player. 58. Pick Analysis. TCU. 66
If not for injuries, Lucas Niang would’ve probably heard his name called in the first round. As Trent Williams still seems likely to be traded, Washington has a big need on the offensive line and they fill it with the mobile TCU product in the hope that he can stay healthy.
IDL. Texas A&M. Justin Madubuike. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 50. 67
The Lions started with two picks to address the secondary, they now look at the defensive line. Justin Madubuike isn’t a player who should be bothered with stopping the run but he has more than enough burst and juice as a pass-rusher to be worth the No. 67 pick.
WR. Chase Claypool. 68. player. 30. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Notre Dame
New York neglected wide receiver with their first two picks but can’t afford to do so here. They take Chase Claypool, whose traits are too great to pass up. His blend of size and elite athleticism to go with promising, albeit not top-tier, production give hope he can be a high-end target for Sam Darnold.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. IOL. Matt Hennessy. Temple. 69. player. 87
Trai Turner was a stalwart piece of the Panthers offensive line for many years but he’s now in the City of Angels. He needs to be replaced for the offensive line to function and Matt Hennessy has the potential to be able to fill that role. The Temple product could be a steal with the 69th pick.
Pick Analysis. WR. K.J. Hamler. 70. 59. Scouting Report. Penn State. player
It’s clear that concerns about his size and drops have caused K.J. Hamler to fall because he has first-round caliber speed and quickness. The Dolphins get Tua Tagovailoa a shiny new toy in hopes that he and Hamler can connect on the deep ball for the foreseeable future.
Scouting Report. Oklahoma. Jalen Hurts. 47. Pick Analysis. QB. 71. player
No matter whether the Patriots start Jarrett Stidham or land a veteran to take the helm, they need an option at quarterback for the future. Jalen Hurts, for my money, can be that. A consummate leader with high-end athleticism and improved throwing, he’s worth the shot to try and develop.
OT. Prince Tega Wanogho. 72. 32. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Auburn. player
Another offensive tackle who has great athletic traits but has unfortunately been dealing with injuries, Prince Tega Wanogho is of great value to the Cardinals after they landed Isaiah Simmons in Round 1. He has the potential to be the right tackle of now and left tackle of the future.
