2020 NFL mock draft: Raiders get Ceedee Lamb with Bears pick
By Brad Weiss
The Miami Dolphins have looked so bad this season that many believed that they could be the first team since the Detroit Lions to actually lose every game. They have lost games in blowout fashion, and closely, like when they just did not try to convert a two-point conversion against the Washington Redskins a few weeks back.
However, playing against their former head coach in Adam Gase and the New York Jets this past weekend at home, the Dolphins took care of business. While it may have hurt their chances of getting the No. 1 overall pick, it was a game that showed this team still has some pride, and are certainly not the worst team in the division.
With their second of three first round picks next April, this one coming via the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dolphins should look to get better along the defensive line. They are a team that needs to stack talent, and Raekwon Davis from Alabama is a guy who can play inside, or outside along the D-line, and the Dolphins need all the help they can get up front.
The Philadelphia Eagles took on the Chicago Bears in Week 9, and their defense certainly came to play against Mitchell Trubisky and company. In fact, the Eagles barely allowed ten yards in the first half of that game, cruising to a victory against a Bears team that is just lost on the offensive side of the ball right now.
For the Eagles, the defensive effort was tremendous, but they have a long way to go in terms of that side of the ball right now. They need help in the secondary, especially at cornerback, and that could be the way they decide to roll with their first round pick next April.
One of the more marquee cornerbacks in this draft class is Paulson Adebo from Stanford, who leads his team with four interceptions this season. Adebo has incredibly soft hands, can cover, and with the Eagles, he would be given the opportunity to start right away in a defensive backfield that has been downright beatable this season.
