My 2020 Mock Draft

[Khyber53]

#7 : Derrick Brown, DT Auburn. The guy is a monster and a day one starter. Best defensive player still available by pick 7. The fact he shores up a definite need makes this a no-brainer.

#38: Cole Kmet, TE Notre Dame. Looking at the picks before us, I think Kmet falls through as teams hit the rich WR and QB markets and some good OTs are still on board. We need a solid TE and I don't trust Ian Thomas to be up to par for us. Might be the steal of the draft.

#69: Matt Hennessy, C Temple. You have to go back 1,000 snaps before you see Matt give up a single sack on tape. Smart player, great lateral movement, hand movement best in class. Could be a spot of need immediately, might spell well at guard in the short term. Temple connection, may have been recruited by Rhule, although not coached by him. Massive upside to the pick.

#113: Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB Appalachian State U. Ranked highly by prognosticators, but not sure scouts believe in App State yet. Monster tackler, could be excellent Sam linebacker and special teamer. 

#148: Damien Lewis, OG LSU. Mauler, straight up and simple. Experience with current OC's game plans, has big potential, could be starter right away on Carolina line. 

#152: Josh Metellus, S Michigan. Good candidate to learn on the field, should be immediate special teams player.

#184:  John Hightower, WR Boise State. Long and lean player, fast with good hands. Can be immediate kick and punt returner. 

#221: Harrison Hand, CB Temple or James Lynch, DT Baylor. Basically guys that fit Rhule's modus operandi and both could stand more coaching.

Lynch is not going to fall to the last Rd. Hell some mocks have him going in the first.

You get down to seventh round and well, sometimes you get some weird stuff. Let's chalk it up to that. I really feel that Hand will be more likely.

No way their picking this many offensive players after spending most of FA on that side of the ball..  

A TE in the 2nd round of a weak TE class?? 

1 development CB??

This would literally be a terrible draft for us.

Lynch definitely won't fall to the 7th simply because Rhule will take him will before then. It honestly would surprise me if we draft him as early as #38. I don't want to do it, but it wouldn't surprise me.
