2020 NFL Mock Draft: Washington Redskins land Chase Young
By Brad Weiss
The Arizona Cardinals went into Seattle and pulled off a stunner this past weekend, as they outright dominated the Seahawks on the road. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, they lost rookie quarterback Kyler Murray due to injury, but he has proven all season long that he is the future of this franchise.
Murray was the No. 1 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, and he has played as such, and will be the cornerstone of this offense moving forward. With star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald up there in age, the Cardinals may want to bring in a weapon to eventually replace him, and CeeDee Lamb from Oklahoma should be a star.
Lamb is the kind of player who can really take the lid off a defense, and teaming him early in his career with Fitzgerald would be best case scenario for him. In addition, Christian Kirk could move down a bit on the depth chart, which could help him in his long term development as well.
The New York Jets took care of business against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 16, as they continue their strong end to the season. With a win on Sunday, the Jets could go from a 1-7 team through their first eight games, to a seven-win squad, which would be a great comeback from their porous start.
Quarterback Sam Darnold is the real deal, and moving forward, the Jets are set at the most important position on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, this Jets team needs some reinforcements at the cornerback position, and bringing in a guy like Kristian Fulton at No. 10 overall makes a lot of sense.
New York has made some mistakes at this position group, but they are loaded with talent elsewhere, like at safety with Jamal Adams, linebacker with C.J. Mosley, and Quinnen Williams at defensive tackle. Fulton would be a perfect addition to the secondary, where Adams and Marcus Maye are solid at safety, but the cornerback spot is a liability.
