TRADE from Indianapolis Colts
The trade stems from the DeForest Buckner to Indianapolis Colts trade to begin the NFL free agency. What will the San Francisco 49ers add to their already loaded roster? Why not try to bolder the defensive line after losing Buckner with a big-time star defensive tackle, Javon Kinlaw from South Carolina. Kinlaw is seen by many as a top-10 talent, but in a position that is undervalued in today’s NFL.
Kinlaw is a junior college transfer who has improved each year he has played, including a first-team All-American bid as a senior in 2019. Kinlaw is still raw and lacks pad discipline after getting tired. Look for Kinlaw to come into San Francisco and be an instant impact player. If coached properly, Kinlaw could be the steal of the draft at pick No. 13.
While Tampa Bay fans will still be celebrating from landing possibly the greatest quarterback of all-time Tom Brady, they should be celebrating Jedrick Wills Jr. dropping to them at pick no. 14. Wills went into the 2019 season as the number one or two rated tackle prospect by many and did nothing but live up to that hype.
The three downfalls that will lead to Wills falling will be 1- teams going reaching to get quarterbacks. 2 – Being a right tackle compared to the coveted left tackle and not knowing if he can easily transition. 3 – Wirfs and Becton’s spectacular performance at the combine in Indy.
Will being a right tackle and slightly undersized at six-foot four-inches tall and 312 pounds, could make him the last of the four top tackles taken. Wills also has a shorter reach with only 34.25 inches but makes up for all these downfalls with tremendous quickness and powerful hips. This pick would be almost as big of a win as signing Brady.
