. Running Back. Baltimore Ravens. Jonathan Taylor. 23. player. 26

The Baltimore Ravens are one of the better teams in the AFC this season, and quarterback Lamar Jackson has proven he is more than just a runner during the team’s first three games in 2019. He is not only getting the job done with his legs, but also his arm, as he has shown a vast improvement in his passing from his rookie season.

While the Ravens also have a strong running back room with guys like Gus Edwards and Mark Ingram, they may grab the No. 1 running back in this draft class next April. Jonathan Taylor from Wisconsin is the kind of back you can plug in for 25-plus touches a game at the next level, giving this Ravens offense even more firepower.

Baltimore is going to be there to the end this season, and will likely represent the AFC North in the playoffs for the second straight year as division champs. Taylor would be a perfect addition to this young offense, which is only going to get better as long as Jackson continues to grow as a passer.

Seattle Seahawks. Trevon Diggs. 24. player. 36. . Cornerback

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a rough loss this past weekend, as the New Orleans Saints went into their home building and drubbed them with a backup quarterback. Of course, Teddy Bridgewater is not your typical backup, as he was once a rising star in this league, but it was still a rough loss for a team fighting for supremacy in a tough NFC West division.

For the Seahawks, they have a lot of work to do on defense, and in 2020, they should focus their first round pick on that side of the ball. They need some help in their defensive backfield, whether it is at safety or cornerback, and getting a guy like Trevon Diggs from Alabama at No. 24 would be a nice get this late in round one.

Diggs is one of the better cover corners in this draft class, and the Seahawks are still searching for answers after seeing Richard Sherman move on to the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle has proven they can win without their Legion of Boom defense, but it is time for them to start building that side of the ball back up.
