The Baltimore Ravens had one of their better wins of the season on Sunday, as they went into Seattle and beat a very good Seahawks team on the road. The Ravens have propelled themselves in to the conversation of being one of the better teams in the AFC this season, and should run away with the AFC North crown.

Picking this late in round one, the Ravens should look to bring in some talent in their defensive backfield. During the 2019 offseason, they added a strong piece in safety Earl Thomas, and with their first round pick in 2020, cornerback C.J. Henderson from Florida would be a perfect addition to their secondary.

Many feel that Henderson could end up being the best overall cornerback in this draft class, and the Ravens are always at their best when they have an elite defense. They have some young talent at corner, but Henderson is a guy who could come right in and at least be a nickel corner in year one.

The Seattle Seahawks are in the midst of a solid 2019 season, even if they laid an egg in front of the home crowd this past weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. Quarterback Russell Wilson is playing at an MVP level, but they will need to continue to play at a high level as a team, as they still are battling the undefeated San Francisco 49ers and reigning NFC champion Los Angeles Rams in their division.

Last year, the Seahawks saw star safety Earl Thomas go down due to injury, and then he flipped off head coach Pete Carroll while on the cart. Still, he was an elite safety for the organization, and Seattle would be wise to use their first round pick on a guy who could eventually be his long-term successor at the position.

Xavier McKinney from Alabama is a first round talent, and the Seahawks need to continue to stack talented defensive players to keep pace with the 49ers and Rams. He would be a Day 1 starter for the Seahawks, who have been better than advertised, and should make a deep run in the playoffs this season, leading to a late first round pick.
