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

The Las Vegas Raiders will pick twice in the 2020 NFL Draft, giving them five first round picks over the last two drafts. After adding a playmaking wide receiver with the No. 12 overall selection in CeeDee Lamb, they would be wise to add an incredibly talented player on the other side of the ball with pick No. 19.

Remember, this is a pick the Raiders got for Khalil Mack, a generational talent they traded away prior to the season. With pick No. 19, the Raiders have to address the linebacker position, a group that could see wholesale changes in 2020, and it would start with Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray.

Murray could be the middle linebacker this team has been missing for years, and while adding two Sooners may seem unlikely, they are both arguably the best players available in two position groups the Raiders have desperate needs in. Murray can play on the inside, but also has the athleticism to work sideline to sideline, and to cover, areas this Raiders defense has been lacking in.

C.J. Henderson. 20. player. 52. . Cornerback. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars hold two first-round picks in the draft, thanks to the trade they made with the Los Angeles Rams for Jalen Ramsey during the season. That trade was supposed to be the final piece for the Rams to make the playoffs, but instead, they fell outside of the playoffs in the NFC, leading the Jaguars to grab the No. 20 overall pick this April.

With the pick, the Jaguars should look to replace Ramsey, who is a Pro Bowl player, and was by far the best cornerback on the roster. With pick No. 20, the Jaguars could be in the market for a guy like C.J. Henderson from Florida, who is widely regarded as one of the better cornerbacks in the draft class.

Henderson is a physical corner who can come up and play wide receiver on the line of scrimmage, and would be an excellent addition to a Jaguars secondary that could look very different in 2020. If they want to be a contender in the AFC South, they have to be better against the pass, and Henderson will certainly help them in that department.
