2020 NFL Draft 15-pick mock: Cleveland Browns TRADE ALERT
By Greg Newland
Carolina Panthers
842. . Defensive Line. Tigers . Derrick Brown. 7. player
The Carolina Panthers will be under a new regime in 2020, and that includes moving on from long-time star quarterback Cam Newton. The show must go on with new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who shined in New Orleans with injuries to Drew Brees.
Look for the Panthers to bolster their front line with Auburn defensive lineman Derrick Brown. With Chase Young at No. 2, any team that picks Brown past No. 4 or No. 5 is getting a steal. Brown has shown the ability to stop the run and rush the passer from the interior defensive line. This may not be a flashy pick to fans, but one that looks to pay off long-term.
Arizona Cardinals
. Offensive Tackle. Hawkeyes . Tristan Wirfs. 8. player. 878
After the addition of DeAndre Hopkins and keeping Larry Fitzgerald for one more year, second-year quarterback Kyler Murray could shine in the Kliff Kingsbury Air Raid system in 2020. What better way could the Arizona Cardinals enhance their offense than by adding the best offensive tackle in the draft?
The Cardinals will be shocked to have their pick of tackles at No. 8. However, given the value on a quarterback, it could happen in 2020. Tristan Wirfs is seen by many as the highest ceiling tackle, but may need a few games to get up to speed. With an athletic quarterback, Wirfs could be the perfect fit for the Cardinals.
