2020 NFL Draft: Offensive linemen rising in postseason mock draft
By Jeremy Meek
The Minnesota Vikings are fourth in the league in rushing yards per game. They want to pound the rock, and are doing it successfully. That doesn’t mean they won’t try to upgrade the offensive line this offseason. They could try to improve the guard position with this pick.
Tyler Biadasz is one of the best run blocking offensive linemen in the country, and would have been drafted high if he came out last year. He has the skillset to play guard, or maybe Bradbury slides over, but either way, strengthening the line is a solid move.
The Chiefs have one of the most explosive offenses in the history of the NFL. However, they have struggled on the other side of the ball. They made some moves this past offseason to get better, but could used more speed and talent at linebacker.
Kenneth Murray is a sideline-to-sideline linebacker who has the skillset NFL teams covet. He flies all over the field making plays. He’s a tackling machine, having recorded over 150 total tackles in 2018. His blitzing is also a plus, as he’s added 8.5 sacks to his resume over the past two seasons.
The end of an era is coming, as Aaron Rodgers can’t play forever. The Packers’ passing game hasn’t been anywhere resembling elite this season, and another weapon is really needed. They are currently in the bottom half of the league in passing yards per game. Davante Adams is great when healthy, but they need another receiver.
The 2019 season hasn’t matched the previous one for Jalen Reagor, but he remains a top prospect as a receiver. In 2018, he had 1,061 yards and 9 touchdowns. He has terrific speed and great hands, and would be a big boost for Rodgers and the passing game.
