2020 full 1st-round mock draft after the start of free agency
By Nick Ellis
9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Javon Kinlaw, DL, South Carolina
The Jacksonville Jaguars are always looking to improve on defense, but with the loss of Calais Campbell, the Jags need a boost to their defensive line more than ever. Javon Kinlaw from South Carolina is a special talent, and has the size, and speed to not only play inside for the Jags, but also move to the edge and get after the quarterback.
10. Cleveland Browns: Jedrick Wills Jr., OL, Alabama
The Cleveland Browns have all the offensive weapons that they could ask for, and although last year was disappointing, they still could have a bright future if they can keep their team healthy. Baker Mayfield needs better protection if he is going to shake off a tough sophomore season, and in Jedrick Wills Jr., the team gets him a guy who can protect his blindside for the next ten years.
11. New York Jets: Andrew Thomas, OL, Georgia
Sam Darnold showed potential last year, but like any young quarterback, he struggled when under pressure. Andrew Thomas from Georgia should help with that issue, as he is widely regarded as one of the more NFL-ready left tackles in this draft class, and would team well with new free agent signee George Fant.
12. Las Vegas Raiders: Derrick Brown, DL, Auburn
Most believe the Las Vegas Raiders would look for a wide receiver here, but with the surprise fall of Derrick Brown from Auburn, this is a player they cannot pass up on. Sure, they have guys like Maurice Hurst and Maliek Collins in place for next season, but Brown is a special talent, and would be an excellent fit up front in Paul Guenther’s 4-3 scheme.
