NFL mock draft: Two-round projections with trades as team needs come into focus
Published in Football
This is a dream scenario for the Bears, who get one of the “big three” receivers to pair with Williams, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen and form one of the league’s most exciting offenses.
10. New York Jets: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Even with the addition of former Chargers receiver Mike Williams, the Jets need another pass-catcher for Aaron Rodgers. Bowers has Pro Bowl potential after a highly productive college career.
11. TRADE: Los Angeles Chargers (from Minnesota): Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
With coach Jim Harbaugh and coordinator Greg Roman in charge of the offense, expect an emphasis on blocking over receiving. Fuaga is a mauler in the running game who can start immediately at right tackle.
12. TRADE: Los Angeles Rams (from Denver): Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
With 11 total picks, the Rams have the assets to move up a few spots. Denver, which doesn’t have a second-round selection, is happy to trade down. Verse would pair well with nose tackle Kobie Turner and linebacker Byron Young to bolster the pass rush after Aaron Donald’s retirement.
13. Las Vegas Raiders: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
The Raiders have holes to fill on the right side of their offensive line, but lockdown defenders are much harder to find. Coach Antonio Pierce can turn his defense into a true strength with the feisty, athletic Senior Bowl star.
14. New Orleans Saints: JC Latham, OT/G, Alabama
