2020 NFL Draft: 3-round mock draft to wrap up regular season
By Alex Barnett
5. Detroit Lions- CeeDee Lamb, WR Oklahoma
CeeDee Lamb is one of the most explosive players in the entire NCAA and is on many big boards as the first wide receiver. Lamb is excellent at creating space and finding gaps in zone coverage. He will be the best and most talented receiver the Lions have had since drafting Calvin Johnson back in 2007. This will also be the first receiver taken by the Lions in round one since Johnson. Not only is Lamb an exceptional receiver, and he is also a guy that is not afraid to block in the run game. The Lions give Matthew Stafford a tool that will hopefully get them over that playoff hump.
6. Arizona Cardinals- Tristan Wirfs, OT Iowa
The Iowa Hawkeyes have a history of producing excellent offensive line talent and Wirfs is no exception. Wirfs moves extremely well in space and will be able to keep up with signal-caller Kyler Murray when he scrambles downfield Having Wirfs opens up more possible opportunities for designed quarterback runs. Wirfs also does a great job when run blocking, and is able to move laterally very well for a man his size. This pick is great for the Cardinals, who need a strong presence in the trenches.
7. New York Jets- Jerry Jeudy, WR Alabama
Talk about versatile Jeudy has lined up at all three receiver positions and has excelled in both man and zone coverage. Jeudy uses his phenomenal footwork to create separation. Sam Darnold needs some help at the receiver position and one of the best talents in college football has to be the pick. Jeudy will help the Jets offense with the yard he will gain after the catch.
