2020 NFL Draft: Pre-bowl season three-round mock draft
By Ryan Roberts
10. Denver Broncos: Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
Alabama offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. has been arguably the biggest riser of any 2020 NFL Draft prospect over the last several weeks with his combination of physicality, raw power and movement skills. With quarterback Drew Lock showing signs of life over the past three games, the offense’s outlook into the future is beginning to look a lot brighter. Get lock some protection and see what we have.
11. Carolina Panthers: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
The Carolina Panthers are in threat of losing star cornerback James Bradberry this off season. On the other side of Bradberry, Donte Jackson has been a mixed bag since a fantastic rookie season. What was once viewed as a position of strength could be in some trouble moving forward. The opinion on LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton seems a bit contrasting in the draft community. At the end of the day, the LSU pedigree on top of the outstanding hips and patience at the line of scrimmage projects Fulton as a very solid starting corner at the next level.
12. Atlanta Falcons: A.J. Epenesa, Edge, Iowa
Remember when people thought Vic Beasley was good? Strange times. The edge position has been very inconsistent for the Falcons over the last two seasons. Iowa defensive end A.J. Epenesa adds an immediate presence in the run and pass game. With alignment flexibility, Epenesa could be one of the biggest value picks in this first round mock.
13. Oakland Raiders: Isaiah Simmons, LB/S, Clemson
Fighting for arguably the most underwhelming position groups in the NFL, the Oakland Raiders linebacker group is about as below average as you will find. A top fifteen pick can be a strange value spot for an off ball linebacker, but with a 6-4 230 pound dynamic athlete who has played everywhere from off ball to overhand and a two high safety, it is more than worth it. Enter in Clemson defender Isaiah Simmons, the ultimate chess piece.
