2020 NFL mock draft: Bengals land Justin Herbert
By Brad Weiss
The Buffalo Bills had to go on the road twice to start their 2019 NFL season, both times visiting Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Incredibly, the Bills were able to beat the other New York teams in both games, toppling the Jets in Week 1, and then beating up on the Giants in Week 2.
All of a sudden, quarterback Josh Allen looks like a guy who can be accurate at the NFL level, which is scary for the Bills competition this season. This is a Bills team that is already loaded on defense, and with the addition of rookie running back Devin Singletary, Buffalo could be a surprise Wild Card team this season.
One area where they need to add depth is at wide receiver, and Jalen Reagor from TCU would be a nice addition to a passing game that has a competent quarterback at his point. Reagor is a guy who can really stretch the field, which will certainly help a Bills team that is only going to get better on offense with each of Allen’s starts.
The San Francisco 49ers spent a ton of money to bring Jimmy Garoppolo to the organization, instantly making him the face of the franchise. While Jimmy G struggled to stay healthy early on in his 49ers career, tearing up his knee in Year No. 1 in 2018, he has come out of the gates firing to start 2019.
Garoppolo has led the 49ers to a surprising 2-0 start to the 2019 campaign, and you can really see just how good this team could be if the can stay healthy. When it comes time for the 2020 NFL Draft, the 49ers may be picking earlier than No. 26, but sitting at 2-0, this is where they land this week.
With Richard Sherman getting up there in age, the 49ers should look to bring in a cornerback in the first round next April, and Jeffrey Okudah from Ohio State is rated as one of the best in the country this season. The Buckeyes have a history of producing quality NFL defensive backs, and Okudah could be the next in line.
