2020 NFL mock draft: Final 1st-round projections with trades

Luke Easterling makes his final projections for the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, with a handful of big trades and surprise picks

21. Philadelphia Eagles

Denzel Mims | WR | Baylor

The Eagles would love to come out of this draft with one of the top four wide receivers, but if the price to move up is too high, they’re better off waiting and taking advantage of a deep class of pass-catchers here.

Moving back in this scenario is a possibility, especially considering they traded away their third-round pick in the Darius Slay deal. However, there are plenty of teams that need receivers picking right after them here, so if there’s a receiver they want, they need to take him here.

Mims has a rare combination of size and speed, running in the 4.3s at the NFL Scouting Combine at 6-3 and 215 pounds. That’s the kind of playmaker the Eagles need for Carson Wentz, who was throwing to players even the most die-hard Eagles fans had to look up on Google during games.
