Quarterback. Denver Broncos. Jake Fromm. 9. player. 45.

The Denver Broncos have officially made the move to Brandon Allen for the rest of the 2019 NFL season, so that should show you where this franchise is in terms of the quarterback position. Heading into the 2020 NFL Draft, the Broncos need to make sure they do their due diligence on the quarterback spot, and they will likely be in the mix to use their first round pick there.

The 2020 NFL Draft class is loaded with quarterback talent, so it would not be a surprise if at least three were picked in the top-10 picks next April. One player who will have a lot of eyes on him heading into the draft is Jake Fromm out of Georgia, who could play his team into the College Football Playoff conversation with a solid end to the season.

Denver needs help at quarterback, and while John Elway has done a lot to fix the position, utilizing first round draft picks, and free agents, it just has not worked. They need to take another swing at finding the long-term solution next April, and Fromm has the skillset to be a starter in the league.

Cornerback. Arizona Cardinals. Jeffrey Okudah. 10. player. 32.

The Arizona Cardinals found their quarterback with the No. 1 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, selecting Kyler Murray from Oklahoma. While Murray has had his fair share of growing pains in Year 1, it is clear that he was the right choice, as he has made this Cardinals offense quite explosive this season.

Rounding out the top-10 in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Cardinals will obviously pass on a quarterback, this time deciding to use their first round pick on the defensive side of the ball. The Cardinals need help in the secondary, and at No. 10 overall, Arizona could pick up a top-5 talent in Jeffrey Okudah from Ohio State.

Okudah would be a perfect compliment to Patrick Peterson in the Cardinals secondary, giving them someone who can learn from the All-Pro. The Cardinals have shown they are not afraid of anybody this season, playing well from week-to-week, and you have to think it is only going to get better as Murray gets more experience.
