32. . Wide Receiver. Arizona Cardinals. Jerry Jeudy. 7. player

The Arizona Cardinals have found their franchise quarterback, that is for certain, especially after what we have seen from Kyler Murray during his rookie season. The diminutive starter from Oklahoma has brought his brand of football to the NFL stage, getting the job done with both his arm, and his legs.

With the most important position in sports locked down, the Cardinals now have to turn their attention towards building around him. When it comes to this roster, the need help on defense, offensive line, and wide receiver, where the team could get their next franchise wideout in a guy like Jerry Jeudy from Alabama.

Larry Fitzgerald is not going to play forever, and grabbing Jeudy while Fitzgerald is still in the league makes a lot of sense. Learning behind a player of Fitz’s caliber would do wonders for Jeudy, teaching him how to perform at a high level, with high class, and even higher production. Murray would have a field day throwing to him.

. Edge. Jacksonville Jaguars. A.J. Epenesa. 8. player. 52

The Jacksonville Jaguars were embarrassed at home by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past weekend, as they fell behind early, and benched their starting quarterback. As it stands, the Jaguars would have a top-10 pick if the season ended tomorrow, and they would be wise to bring in a player like A.J. Epenesa from Penn State.

While Yannick Ngakuoe is a fantastic player, he may draw too big of a price tag for the Jaguars, who will likely be in flux this upcoming offseason. They paid a ton of money to quarterback Nick Foles, and has since sent him to the bench, choosing to return to Minshew Mania the rest of the way in 2019.

Epenesa had a tremendous November for the Nittany Lions, and on this Jaguars defense, he would join a group that is adept at getting after the quarterback. After Chase Young, he is the best edge rusher this draft class has to offer, and after shelling out so much money, Jacksonville needs to start building back up with young talent via the draft.
