In his latest three-round 2020 NFL mock draft for Draft Wire, Luke Easterling predicts the Denver Broncos will select South Carolina defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw with the 15th overall pick in the first round.
Here is Easterling’s commentary with the selection:
This defense has one of the league’s best edge-rushing tandems, but it could use a difference-maker for the interior. A rare athlete for his size, Kinlaw is a versatile, disruptive defender who would wreak havoc while opposing offensive lines are focused on Von Miller and Bradley Chubb.
Kinlaw (6-6, 310 pounds) totaled 35 tackles and six sacks as a senior. He also broke up two passes and recovered two fumbles in 2019. With Derek Wolfe, Shelby Harris, Adam Gotsis, Mike Purcell and Joel Heath all set to become free agents, Denver could certainly use more depth on the d-line.
After selecting Kinlaw in the first round, the Broncos go on to select an offensive tackle, wide receiver, linebacker and cornerback in the next two rounds of Easterling’s mock. To view the complete mock draft, click here.
