Final PhinPhanatic 2020 NFL Mock Draft: Full first round with trades
By Brian Miller
No offensive lineman is really worth drafting in this spot and if the Dolphins do, they are reaching for talent that might not be better than what is available in round two. Miami passed on Isaiah Simmons but they still get a big-time, hard-hitting edge rusher that will eventually anchor the outside. Chaisson has a big motor and solid moves off the snap that can get him to the QB quickly. He is good in coverage and also does well handling the outside containment assignments. Versatile, Brian Flores will find innovative ways to get him involved.
The Vikings need offensive line help just as much as the Dolphins but while I don’t see the Dolphins reaching, I don’t think Rick Spielman views it as one. Jones has some growth potential but he is not considered a can’t miss prospect. He is, however, the best of what is on the board right now.
Would anyone be surprised if the Patriots made a pick at 23? Everyone thinks they are going to trade up, we will explain the trade down when we get to them. The Packers have been one of the speculated teams to make a move forward and this is good spot for them to address WR and give Aaron Rodgers a big weapon. Jefferson isn’t going to impress like Jeudy, Lamb, or Ruggs but he is fantastic with the ball in his hands and that is something that the Packers need.
The Saints don’t have a lot of needs but corner could be stronger. Fulton is a solid coverage guy that can compete for playing time immediately.
The Vikings are going to have to draft defensive help at some point. Xavier McKinney keeps popping into my head by I don’t think they can pass on Gross-Matos who could be a great outside edge rusher.
