2020 NFL mock draft: C.J. Henderson, Jordan Love to Raiders
The Vikings make their second pick, and it’s Brandon Aiyuk. Minnesota is taking an incredible seventh receiver in the first round, but Aiyuk is worth the investment. A star at Arizona State, the youngster racked up 65 catches for 1.192 yards and eight touchdowns in 2019 as a senior.
With Adam Thielen on the other side, Kirk Cousins should have a nice cache of weapons to utilize. Additionally, Aiyuk can ease in the transition from college to pro without having to be the top option. Minnesota needs to replace Diggs after sending him to the Bills, and this goes a long way towards doing so.
If K’Lavon Chaisson is still on the board, the Dolphins are going to call this pick in within seconds. Miami did nice job in the offseason adding Emmanuel Ogbah and Shaq Lawson, but those men are ancillary players who are better when used as rotational pieces. If Chaisson fulfills his potential, he would be the star drawing most of the attention.
At LSU, Chaisson amassed 12.5 sacks last year, helping the Tigers win the national championship. At 6-foot-3 and 254 pounds, the Houston, Texas native is built more to rush from a stand-up position off the edge. In Miami, the Dolphins could get creative with moving him around the formation, allowing Chaisson to be a chess piece in the front seven.
