2020 NFL mock draft: Detroit Lions replace Darius Slay

The Philadelphia Eagles were the last team standing in the NFC East this season, a division that it seemed nobody wanted to win. In the playoffs, they hosted the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card Round, but unfortunately for the Birds, starting quarterback Carson Wentz went down with a concussion early in the game.

While Wentz will be fine come the 2020 NFL season, changes have to be made on the other side of the ball, and that includes getting better at the cornerback position. The Eagles could certainly utilize this first round pick on a wide receiver, or even offensive line help, but the secondary has to be fixed this offseason.

One of the more physical cornerbacks in this draft class is C.J. Henderson from Florida, who is most certainly ticketed for the first round. If the Eagles want to make another deep run in the playoffs like they did two years ago, they have to be better against the pass, and Henderson helps them do that from Day 1.

The Buffalo Bills were hoping that quarterback Josh Allen would take a step forward in Year 2 in 2019, and he did just that, leading the Bills to one of the better records in the NFL. Unfortunately for Buffalo, the New England Patriots won the AFC East once again, which meant they had to go on the road in the Wild Card round.

Buffalo lost their playoff game, but making the playoffs was a step in the right direction, as it was the franchise’s second appearance since 1999. All signs point to Allen being the guy for this team moving forward, as he proved he can win at the NFL level, and now they have to go out and get him more weapons.

At pick No. 22,  the Bills should look to target LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who proved he is a big-time player who can make big plays in the biggest of games. If the Bills are going to get improvement from Allen in Year 3, they need more talent on the outside, and Jefferson has WR1 written all over him.
