Detroit Lions land Chase Young in 2020 7-round mock draft
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Offensive Lineman. 162. 820. University of Oregon. Jake Hanson. player
The Lions could use an interior lineman on the offensive side of the ball as well. Taking Hanson with the 162nd overall pick would give the Lions a low-risk, high-reward type of guard.
Hanson is a good pass protector, but leaves some room for improvement in his overall game, especially in the run game. While he is by no means would be a guaranteed hit, but he would give the Lions a potential starter in his rookie year as a sixth-round pick.
Going into his senior season, Hanson had an 84.2 pass-blocking grade from PFF, the best of 2019. In 2019, Hanson allowed just 12 total pressures and zero sacks en-route to his best overall pass-blocking grade.

Next. Detroit Lions: 2020 7-round mock draft with two trades. dark
Hanson would not be guaranteed to come in and be a hit, but as a sixth-round pick, he would likely provide quality depth as a center and guard. If the Lions sign a starting guard in free agency then Hanson would be a solid depth pick who would bring intelligence and experience from one of the best offensive lines in college for a couple of years now.
