player. 52. . Cornerback. Jacksonville Jaguars. Paulson Adebo. 19

With their second of two first round draft picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars should to bring in someone to replace the talent they just lost. Last week, the Jaguars traded All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams, leaving a giant hole in what was once a strong secondary.

To replace Ramsey in the defensive backfield, the Jaguars may want to look to Stanford and bring in Paulson Adebo. Adebo is not only a great cover corner, but he has tremendous hands, and will be someone who nabs his fair share of interceptions at the NFL level.

Of course, you can’t really replace a talent like Ramsey, you can only hope that the players you get back in the trade can be productive at the next level. Adebo is a cornerback who can come in and start right away, and in Jacksonville, he will have every opportunity to climb up the depth chart in a hurry.

Defensive Tackle. Carolina Panthers. Derrick Brown. 20. player. 87.

The Carolina Panthers were left for dead early in the season, as Cam Newton went down with an injury, and they had to turn to an undrafted rookie in Kyle Allen. Well, all Allen has done since taking over the job is win football games, and the Panthers are firmly planted in the NFC playoff race entering Week 8.

While it remains to be seen whether or not Newton takes over as the starter when he returns, one thing is for sure, Allen put this team in position to make a run this season. When they pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, they could be in the market for some better talent up front on defense, and Derrick Brown from Auburn is a special player at defensive tackle.

In fact, Brown could have been a first round pick last season, but the extra year in school will do nothing to hurt his draft status. He should be one of the more NFL-ready players when he enters the NFL next year, and for the Panthers, he brings more strength up front on defense, as they continue to trend in the right direction.
