CJ Henderson. 21. player. 54. . Cornerback. Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles were able to clinch the NFC East on the final day of the regular season, going into MetLife Stadium and defeating division rival New York. Of course, they needed the Dallas Cowboys to falter late in order to get to first place, but they did it nonetheless, and were able to host a playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, Carson Wentz once again went down due to injury, as he was hit in the head by Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney early in the game. That led to Josh McCown taking over for Wentz, and while McCown played admirably, even with a torn hamstring, the Eagles saw their season end inside the Linc.

Sitting at No. 21 overall, the Eagles have work to do in terms of their secondary, and they would be wise to bring in a talent like Florida’s C.J. Henderson. Philadelphia had their issues on the outside all season long, and in Henderson, they would be adding a player who can start right away, and has tremendous coverage ability.

16. . Wide Receiver. Buffalo Bills. Justin Jefferson. 22. player

The Buffalo Bills were a shockingly good team this season, as they began to stack wins early on, and were able to come away with a Wild Card spot. Second-year quarterback Josh Allen took a major step forward in Year No. 2, and the team got great play on the defensive side of the ball from their young defense.

Heading into 2020, the Bills have to do something in terms of getting Allen more help on the outside, and Justin Jefferson from LSU may have punched his ticket to the first round on Monday night. He is a guy with great size, can stretch the field, and could be a legitimate WR1 for Allen moving forward.

The plan for Allen has to be not only protecting him, but also giving him the weapons to advance his development, and Jefferson can do just that. Buffalo may be the team to beat in the AFC East next season, but without true wide receivers on the outside, the fear is Allen may actually take a step back in 2020.
