Kenneth Murray. 19. player. 28. . Linebacker. Las Vegas Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders got their star wide receiver with their first of two first round picks, bringing in the incredible CeeDee Lamb with the No. 12 overall pick. At No. 19 overall, the selection they got in the Khalil Mack trade back in 2018, they stay with the Oklahoma Sooners, adding the best middle linebacker in this draft class.

Kenneth Murray is a guy who checks a lot of the boxes for this Raiders defense, and he would be an excellent get this late in round one. The Raiders address two of their biggest needs with these two first round picks, as general manager Mike Mayock once again goes to winning programs to rebuild this Raiders roster.

The fans in Las Vegas are going to be expecting a winner in Year 1 in Sin City, and Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden have done a nice job building up this roster since he arrived a year ago. Going from four wins to seven was nice, but in 2020, with their draft capital and cap space, they could become a 10-win playoff team.

52. . Wide Receiver. Jacksonville Jaguars. Laviska Shenault Jr.. 20. player

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a huge trade during the 2019 NFL season, sending away All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams. While the loss of Ramsey hurt, it did net them a second first round selection this April, which they should use on a weapon for either Nick Foles or Gardner Minshew in this passing game.

Heading into the 2019 season, many believed that this Jaguars team would fight for a playoff spot, and they are not too many pieces away from making that a reality this season. They have made some big changes, including replacing their offensive coordinator, and getting rid of Tom Coughlin, so now they have to add the right players to the mix.

The AFC South netted two playoff teams this season, including the Tennessee Titans, who are one of the final two teams standing in the conference. If the Jaguars can hit on their two first rounders this April, and figure out their quarterback situation, there is no reason why they cannot be a player in the division as soon as next season.
