2020 NFL Mock Draft: A Quarter of the Season is Over
By Seth Steere
18) Los Angeles Chargers, 2-2: Tyler Biadasz, IOL, Wisconsin
Philip Rivers is heading towards the end of his career. In order to help squeeze every drop left, keeping Rivers in the pocket is a must, which is why Los Angeles selects the top interior offensive lineman in the class.
19) Oakland Raiders, 2-2: Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson
Vontaze Burfict is out for the season and will likely not return to the Raiders next season. Even if Burfict were to stay with Oakland (Las Vegas next year) linebacker would still be huge need, especially one with Simmon’s ability.
20) Cleveland Browns, 2-2: Prince Tano Wanogho, OT, Auburn
It’s time the Browns help keep Baker Mayfield on his feet. The Browns are a very young and talented squad and Tano Wanogho only adds to that narrative.
21) Miami Dolphins (via Houston Texans, 2-2): Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
Xavien Howard did not look the part against the Dallas Cowboys; Amari Cooper proved several times why he’s valued as one of the best route runners in the league. The Dolphins draft Diggs to get Howard some help and perhaps be their future CB1. The potential is there.
22) Detroit Lions, 2-1-1: Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama
I said it before the year and it’s appeared to come to fruition, the Lions have an extremely underrated roster. They are solid just about everywhere, which is why they can afford to select Moses, who has missed the season with a torn ACL.
23) Los Angeles Rams, 3-1: Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford
Despite some early struggles, Adebo is still legit. The Rams look to their back yard to fix a position that is getting older and worse by the day. Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib are not what they were even 2 years ago, and it’s time to get them some much-needed help.
24) Seattle Seahawks, 3-1: Derrick Brown, IDL, Auburn
Even though the Seahawks lack the weapons on offense, Seattle looks to the other side of the ball during the draft. Brown started and will likely finish as the Draft’s best defensive tackle, so it’s hard to come away unhappy with their first-round selection.
