2020 NFL mock draft: Justin Herbert goes to the Chargers
By Brad Weiss
13. player. 52. . Wide Receiver. Jacksonville Jaguars. CeeDee Lamb
The Jacksonville Jaguars finally got rid of Jalen Ramsey this past week, as they traded the All-Pro cornerback to the Los Angeles Rams. Because of that trade, they will hold the Rams first round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but that pick is not until much later in the first round, as the Rams won a big one in Ramsey’s debut this past weekend.
With their first of two first round picks next April, Jacksonville should look to add more talent to the wide receiver position. In this draft class, Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb is the No. 1 wide receiver on the board, and would be a special piece to a Jaguars offense that lacks playmakers, but has some young talent in D.J. Chark and Dede Westbrook.
In Lamb, the Jaguars would be bringing in a legitimate No. 1 wideout, someone that quarterback Gardner Minshew would welcome with open arms. He has been one of the better stories in the NFL this season, and when Nick Foles returns from injury, he may not have a position to return to.
Philadelphia Eagles. Trevon Diggs. 14. player. 54. . Cornerback
The Philadelphia Eagles ran their mouth heading into their divisional clash with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, and they ended up getting punched in it. The Cowboys throttled their division rival by the score of 37-10, exerting dominance on both sides of the ball, and moving into first place in the division.
For the Eagles, they have a serious need in their defensive backfield, and that is certainly where they should focus their first round pick next April. Luckily for them, this is a draft class that boasts some solid talent at the cornerback spot, including Trevon Diggs, as stellar cover corner from the University of Alabama.
Diggs, the brother of Minnesota Vikings star wideout Stefon Diggs, is one of the better overall defensive backs in this draft class, and would be an instant starter in Philadelphia. Sunday’s loss left the team with a ton of questions, and you have to wonder whether or not they are a legitimate playoff contender this season, especially when the go up against the best of the conference.
