In his latest two-round 2020 NFL mock draft, ESPN’s Todd McShay has the Denver Broncos selecting Georiga offensive tackle Andrew Thomas with the 15th overall pick in the first round (subscription required for link).
With star wide receivers Jerry Jeudy (No. 11; New York Jets), CeeDee Lamb (No. 12; Oakland Raiders) and Henry Ruggs III (No. 13; San Francisco 49ers) all off the board, McShay has the team addressing the offensive line.
Given that Denver appears set to go into 2020 with Garett Bolles and Ja’Wuan James as the two starting tackles, it’s hard to imagine the team using their first-round pick on a tackle. Selecting a tackle in the middle rounds of the draft might be a more realistic scenario.
After missing out on the top receivers in the first round, the Broncos land Colorado’s Laviska Shenault in the second round (No. 46) of McShay’s mock. Denver fans would probably be thrilled to come out of the first two rounds with a top offensive lineman and a promising receiver.
In his last two mock drafts, McShay had the Broncos landing Ruggs and Lamb, respectively. The draft will be held from April 23-25.
