2020 NFL Mock Draft, post-Combine: Raiders trade up, Redskins move back
After trading Jalen Ramsey ahead of the Trade Deadline in 2019, the Jaguars need to add a starter at cornerback to go with A.J. Bouye. Shockingly slipping despite a solid outing in Indy, Ohio State’s Jeffrey Okudah falls right in their lap and is the right guy for the job. He has the physicality, size, speed and technique that should allow him to succeed right away in the NFL and even get better with experience, potentially being a Ramsey-level player sooner rather than later.
Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns disappointed greatly in 2019 but still have an immense amount of talent and potential with their roster as Kevin Stefanski takes over at head coach. Their biggest priority is fixing the offensive line and Tristan Wirfs, Combine standout, is the first step in doing that.
Wirfs’ athleticism makes him an ideal fit for Stefanski’s system that allowed Dalvin Cook and the Vikings to succeed and he should fit seamlessly into the Cleveland front at tackle or at guard. Either way, he’s the perfect prospect to get this team back on track.
TRADE ALERT: Buccaneers send No. 14, 76, 2021 fourth-round pick to Jets for No. 11
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said the team knows their plan at quarterback but Jameis Winston doesn’t. To me, that means they have other plans, be it Philip Rivers or otherwise. However, they need a future at the position beyond an aging veteran, so they get aggressive to jump ahead of the Colts and take Jordan Love.
The Utah State product impressed at the Combine and, while he still has room to develop based on his 2019 film, his overall potential makes him a perfect developmental prospect at quarterback for Tampa Bay.
(via Raiders) Kyler Murray and the Cardinals showed some real promise in 2019, even if Kliff Kingsbury’s team finished below .500. However, they absolutely need some more firepower to go around last year’s No. 1 overall pick. They take his former teammate at Oklahoma, CeeDee Lamb, here as the first wide receiver off the board. He showed he’s not a burner at the Combine but his drills showed just how complete of a player he is at the position.
