30. . Offensive Tackle. New York Jets. Andrew Thomas. 5. player

The New York Jets had an early bye in 2019, and it was a good thing for the team, as they are still waiting to get franchise quarterback Sam Darnold back from mono. Darnold started the team’s opener against the Buffalo Bills, but since then, it has been the Trevor Siemian and Luke Falk show for the Jets.

After their bye in Week 4, the Jets will take on the Philadelphia Eagles, and there is still no word as to whether or not Darnold will be back for the game. Looking at their schedule, they could legitimately start out at 0-6 this season, but the back half of their schedule gets easier, and they should be able to put together some wins.

Sitting at No. 5 overall in 2020, the Jets will have a lot of options, but the main thing they need to do is protect their No. 1 asset in Darnold. Bringing in the best offensive tackle in this draft class in Andrew Thomas from Georgia would be smart play for the franchise long-term, though this franchise does not have a good history in doing that.

32. . Wide Receiver. Arizona Cardinals. Jerry Jeudy. 6. player

The Arizona Cardinals held the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and with  that selection, they chose Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray. Though not having the perfect size for the NFL game, Murray has shown himself to be an incredible leader for the Cardinals, even though they have not won their first game yet.

Murray has an incredible never-say-die attitude, and that is the kind of player you want under center for you, especially during a rebuild. Still, this is going to be a long year for the Cardinals, and the likelihood is that they will be once again picking in the top-10 when the 2020 NFL Draft rolls around.

With their early 2020 pick,  the Cardinals should look to bring in a franchise wide receiver for Murray, especially with Larry Fitzgerald nearly the end of his career. Fitzgerald is still very good, and teaming him with a guy like Jerry Jeudy from Alabama would give Murray two productive wide receivers in 2020, and for Jeudy, he could eventually take the torch from Fitz.
