Scouting Report. OT. Stanford. Walker Little. 32. Pick Analysis. 12. player

Despite drafting offensive tackle Josh Jones in the third round in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals could use more efficient pass protection for their potentially explosive offense.

Pick Analysis. Stanford. Paulson Adebo. Scouting Report. CB. 13. player. 53

The Cleveland Browns need as much defensive help as they can get. Paulson Adebo can complement a passing defense with Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams.

Scouting Report. QB. Trey Lance. Pick Analysis. North Dakota State. 14. player. 57

Mitchell Trubisky has underachieved rather than achieving anything as the former second overall pick in 2017. The Chicago Bears are not expected to pick up the fifth-year option after the 2020 season.

player. Pick Analysis. WR. Clemson. Justyn Ross. 15. 52.

The Jacksonville Jaguars can make an elite receiver corps with Justyn Ross, D.J. Chark, Dede Westbrook and Laviska Shenault with Trevor Lawrence passing the ball.

Alabama. 16. player. OL. Pick Analysis. Alex Leatherwood. 45. Scouting Report

Denver has not found a fully reliable tackle to protect quarterback Drew Lock from the pass rush. Alex Leatherwood can also play an efficient guard, especially in run situations.

Scouting Report. LB. Hamilcar Rashed Jr.. player. 49. Pick Analysis. Oregon State. 17

After the Green Packers neglected all of their needs within the first three rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft, they need to find a reliable starter to address their 23rd ranked rush defense (120.1 yards allowed per game).

35. Caden Sterns. 18. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. S. Texas

The Tennessee Titans could use some impact in their 24th ranked passing defense (255 yards allowed per game) along with a strong duo in Caden Sterns and Kenny Vaccaro.
