2020 NFL Mock Draft: Washington Redskins land Chase Young
By Brad Weiss
The Buffalo Bills are for real, and after clinching the No. 5 spot in the AFC Playoffs, they are a team that should be feared. They have a solid defense, a good running game, and second-year starting quarterback Josh Allen is really developing into a solid player for them in the passing game, and with his feet.
For the Bills, they still have some holes to fill on the roster, including bringing in more weapons for Allen in the passing game. If they ever want him to reach his potential, he needs more weapons on the outside, especially after the team traded away Zay Jones to the Oakland Raiders during the regular season.
One player who should be selected in the first round next April is Jalen Reagor, who is one of the more explosive wide receivers in this draft class. Reagor would be a perfect addition to this offense thanks to his ability to go deep, especially with how strong Allen’s arm is, and the team’s lack of that kind of player on this roster.
The Minnesota Vikings lost to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night, as the Packers clinched first place in the NFC North. For the Vikings, they played well on defense against Aaron Rodgers and company, but they just could not get anything going on the offensive side of the ball.
The big reason for them not being able to move the ball was the loss of Dalvin Cook, their star running back who was ruled out of the game. In addition, the offensive line was absolutely atrocious against the Packers, and that is where they should focus their first round pick in 2020.
Alex Leatherwood from Alabama is one of the better offensive linemen in this draft class, and he also has the ability to play both guard and tackle at the NFL level. This Vikings offensive line needs help all over the place, and Leatherwood is someone who is considered an instant starter at the NFL level.
