Round 2: LSU TE Thaddeus Moss
There’s a high degree of variance when it comes to the top-rated tight end in the 2020 NFL Draft. When I’m looking at the full package, no one is better in this class than Moss.
Moss is the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame WR Randy Moss, and you know he doesn’t want to live in the shadow of his dad. The younger Moss is already on his way to proving that he’s an entirely different type of player. Everyone thinks that he’s just a dynamic receiving threat and move tight end because of his father, but really he’s a great in-line blocker. His senior season showed he understands leverage, hand placement and has the power to move some good defenders in the SEC.
This is not to say that Moss isn’t a talented pass-catcher — he absolutely is. I think we saw some really good development from him at LSU throughout 2019. It all culminated in a huge national championship game, where Moss caught two touchdowns passes from Joe Burrow.
If the Chiefs go tight end early, this is the guy that you want to come away with.
