2020 NFL mock draft: Updated 3-round projections after Week 15

Check out Luke Easterling’s latest three-round projections for the 2020 NFL draft

11. Carolina Panthers

Kristian Fulton | CB | LSU

There are other tempting options here, but with James Bradberry likely headed elsewhere in free agency, the Panthers need a replacement for their top cover man. Fulton has the size, physicality and ball skills to be the perfect fit.

12. Atlanta Falcons

A.J. Epenesa | EDGE | Iowa

This defense is desperate to improve their completely absent pass rush, both on the edge and inside. This pick has to be used to that end, and the value points to grabbing a versatile rusher like Epenesa, who has the size and skill set to line up anywhere on the defensive line and get after the quarterback.

13. Oakland Raiders

CeeDee Lamb | WR | Oklahoma

After the Antonio Brown debacle, the Raiders are still in need of a dynamic pass-catcher who can take the top off opposing defenses and also make plays at every level of the field. Lamb is a complete player who excels after the catch, and would immediately be the team’s top target.

14. Indianapolis Colts

Javon Kinlaw | DL | South Carolina

This defense loves versatility and athleticism, which makes Kinlaw the perfect fit in the trenches. He’s still smoothing out the rough edges in his game, but Kinlaw’s combination of size and athleticism make him a dominant force, no matter where he lines up.

15. Cleveland Browns

Jedrick Wills | OT | Alabama

After a hugely disappointing season, the Browns need to start their bounce-back by rebuilding the offensive line in front of Baker Mayfield. Wills would be a fantastic first step in that direction, giving Mayfield an immediate upgrade at either tackle spot.

16. Philadelphia Eagles

Henry Ruggs III | WR | Alabama

Injuries have decimated this receiving corps, and Carson Wentz needs it bolstered this offseason in the worst way. While there may be bigger, more complete receivers in this class, none have the explosiveness and breakaway speed that Ruggs brings to the table.

17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Grant Delpit | S | LSU

Tampa Bay’s biggest need is at right tackle, but the value just isn’t there in this scenario. Defensive line could also be considered, depending on how many expiring contracts the Bucs are able to retain from that unit. This secondary is young and promising, but adding another playmaker like Delpit couldn’t hurt.

18. Oakland Raiders (from CHI)

Kenneth Murray | LB | Oklahoma

After filling their biggest offensive need earlier in the round, the Raiders need to use their second first-rounder to do the same for their defense. Murray’s instincts and athleticism make him one of the nation’s most complete linebacker prospects.

19. Tennessee Titans

Tyler Biadasz | OL | Wisconsin

The Titans might just have their quarterback in veteran Ryan Tannehill, but they need to surround him with as much help as possible. That starts in the trenches, where they land one of the nation’s best blockers in Biadasz, who can be an immediate starter on the inside.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from LAR)

Tee Higgins | WR | Clemson

After getting a defensive playmaker in the top 10, the Jags need to use their additional first-rounder in this draft to give their offensive a true No.1 receiver for whoever ends up throwing passes next season. Higgins has a rare combination of size, length, athleticism and body control.
