The virtual 2020 NFL Draft is tomorrow and as the final round of mock drafts are released, we take a look to see where some of the top Georgia players are predicted to go.
In CBS Sports’ latest one-round mock draft, Georgia’s Andrew Thomas is predicted to land with the Los Angeles Chargers at pick No. 6.

“I think if the Chargers have a shot at getting Tua, they’ll do it in this spot. But despite the late buzz for Justin Herbert, Plan B for L.A. could be to just take one of this year’s elite tackles after trading away Russell Okung, and then try and get a quarterback later.”
There has been speculation as to who is the best offensive lineman in the 2020 draft class. Most of the conversation revolves around Georgia’s Andrew Thomas, Alabama’s Derrick Willis Jr., Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs and Louisville’s Mekhi Becton.
Thomas definitely made his case as the best tackle in his three years at Georgia.
As a freshman, Thomas was named to Freshman All-America teams by ESPN, USA Today and the Football Writers Association of America and as a sophomore he was named 1st team All-American by Sports Illustrated. In 2019, as a junior, Thomas was a Walter Camp 1st team All-American and the recipient of the SEC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy.
Don’t believe in accolades proving talent? Just watch Thomas make potential first round pick and LSU defensive end K’Lavon Chaisson look average.
While the debate continues over the next day on who should be the first blocker taken, we all should agree that Thomas is the best piano player in the 2020 draft class.
