45. . Cornerback. Virginia. Bryce Hall. 13. player

The Denver Broncos decided to finally give Vic Fangio a head coaching gig this offseason, as the veteran defensive coordinator will be making his first stint as the man in charge in 2020. Fangio is a special mind when it comes to the defensive side of the ball, and you know he would like none other than to add a defensive player in the 2020 NFL Draft.

With guys in his secondary aging, especially at cornerback, Fangio may look to bring in one of the top cornerbacks in this draft class in Bryce Hall from Virginia. Hall is a tremendous cover corner, but he also is the kind of defensive back that likes to play physical, which plays right into the way Fangio likes to run his defense.

This is an organization that has used high draft capital on the defensive side of the ball in recent drafts, and they appear to have their future at quarterback in Drew Lock. There are a number of different ways the Broncos could go next April, but if Hall is still there at No. 13, it is going to be very hard for Fangio to pass on him.

52. . Wide Receiver. Colorado. Laviska Shenault Jr.. 14. player

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a huge splash this past offseason in terms of their quarterback, as they finally decided to end the Blake Bortles project. In his place, the Jaguars brought in a former Super Bowl MVP in Nick Foles, who will look to prove that he can win NFL games for a team not located in Philadelphia.

During the 2020 NFL Draft, the Jaguars should utilize their first round pick on a wide receiver, as this has been an issue for them in the past. Sure, Dede Westbrook showed some improvement in year No.2 this past season, but they are going to need more than just him, and guys like Marqise Lee and DJ Chark if they want to be explosive in the passing game.

When it comes to the wide receivers in this draft class, few stand out like Colorado star Laviska Shenault Jr. One of the better stories in all of college football, Shenault is going to be a 1,000-yard wide receiver from Day 1 at the NFL, level, and would be a tremendous addition for Foles as he looks to get the Jaguars back to the top of the AFC South.
