Cornerback. Philadelphia Eagles. Kristian Fulton. 21. player. 54.

The Philadelphia Eagles squeeked into the playoffs thanks to a win against the Dallas Cowboy at home in Week 16, and then a road win against the New York Giants in Week 17. At only 9-7, nobody really expected the Eagles to challenge in the NFC this season, and once Carson Wentz went down with an injury early in the Wild Card round, their season was basically over.

Heading into next season, the Eagles are in pretty good shape, but still have some holes to fill on both sides of the ball. One glaring weakness with this team this season was in the secondary, and they would be wise to add a talent like Kristian Fulton from LSU with the No. 21 overall pick in 2020.

Fulton is a sure-fire first round talent, and in this Eagles defensive backfield, he would slide right in as a starter in 2020. Sure, they need help at wide receiver, and along the offensive line, but their defense was atrocious at times this season, and if they want to be a legitimate contender in the NFC, they have to be better against the pass.

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

The Buffalo Bills were one of the more consistent teams in the AFC all season long, culminating with them earning one of the two Wild Card spots in the conference. Led by second-year quarterback Josh Allen, the Bills made it back to the playoffs for only the second time since 1999, though it was short-lived with a Wild Card loss to the Houston Texans.

Still, it was a season of growth for both the team, and Allen, who looks like he can be a legitimate starting quarterback at the NFL level. Now that they have their guy under center, they have to go out and get him more weapons, and they do so here in the person of LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Jefferson is a guy who can not only make plays happen deep downfield, but he also is not afraid to go over the middle and make the tough catch. Buffalo traded away Zay Jones this season, and have an immediate need at the position group, so this pick could be a best-case scenario for Jefferson entering the league.
