48. . Quarterback. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jake Fromm. 9. player

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the midst of a rough season, and when all is said and done, they could be making a move in terms of their franchise quarterback. the organization brought in head coach Bruce Arians to try and turn around former No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston, but the results have been spotty, and it may be time to turn the page.

For the Buccaneers, they are currently picking in the top-10 of the 2020 NFL Draft, and that should net them one of the prized signal-callers in this draft class. When it comes to the quarterbacks, there are Tua and Joe Burrow at the top, and then a handful of other guys who should be first rounders as well.

Jake Fromm from Georgia is a good-looking quarterback prospect, and one that should hear his name called in the first round. He would be in a perfect situation if he lands with the Bucs, as they have an elite wide receiver in Mike Evans, and Arians is one of the better head coaches in terms of developing quarterbacks in the NFL.

Quarterback. Los Angeles Chargers. Jacob Eason. 10. player. 13.

The Los Angeles Chargers pulled off a stunning victory over the Chicago Bears on the road in Week 8, as they try to keep their fleeing playoff hopes alive. For the Chargers, this season has been an absolute mess, as they went into the year as Super Bowl favorites, and now find themselves towards the bottom of the AFC West.

While Philip Rivers is still a very serviceable quarterback in the NFL, the Chargers have to start thinking about life after him. With the No. 10 overall pick, Los Angeles could actually get a player who could come in and be his successor in a year or two, and that could be the way they choose to attack the first round next April.

Jacob Eason is having a fantastic season for the Washington Huskies, and has long been considered a first round talent. Adding him to this roster would give the Chargers a succession plan at the quarterback position, something they have not had since Rivers came in to learn behind Drew Brees so many years ago.
