2020 NFL Mock Draft: Joe Burrow is Dolphins guy, Raiders snag Henry Ruggs III
31. player. 15. . LB. New Orleans Saints. Kenneth Murray
For my money — and as I’ve said plenty of times before — the New Orleans Saints have the most complete roster in the NFL. On both sides of the ball, this team can dominate any matchup that they’re faced with. If you’re looking for any spots to upgrade, though, the two spots that come to mind are wide receiver outside of Michael Thomas and at linebacker where they simply could use a high-end playmaker.
Kenneth Murray has been a tackling machine for Oklahoma over the past two years. However, he’s boosted his draft stock tremendously in 2019 with the way that he’s improved his sideline-to-sideline speed. He’s been a heat-seeking missile for the Sooners defense, despite the overall flaws of that unit. Adding him to New Orleans would give this already talented group an impressive boost.
CB. San Francisco 49ers. Paulson Adebo. 32. player. 42.
The NFL’s only remaining undefeated team entering Week 10, the San Francisco 49ers’ vision for their team is clearly finally taking shape. They have an elite rushing offense but, more importantly, their defense has allowed them to thrive in 2019. After adding Nick Bosa to the fold last season with the No. 2 overall pick, they now aim to address the future at cornerback with Paulson Adebo from Stanford.

Richard Sherman has been great this season but age is not on his side. The depth at cornerback does leave something to be desired for the Niners, which is where Adebo would come into play. The Cardinal standout has had his share of ups and downs this season but we’ve seen his top-end potential as a coverage player and playmaker. With that, he’s worth the final pick in the first round.
