2020 NFL mock draft: Ron Rivera gets his defensive cornerstone

The Seattle Seahawks made it all the way to  the Divisional Round this past season, thanks to the strong play of quarterback Russell Wilson. Time and time again this guy has put the Seahawks on his back, and based on the talent they had on the roster this past season,  this may have been his best season yet.

Heading into 2020, the Seahawks have a lot of holes to fill on both sides of the ball, but they must get better up front along the offensive line. If the Seahawks want to do anything special in 2020, they have to keep Wilson upright, and they can start to rebuild up front by selecting Houston’s Josh Jones with the No. 27 overall pick.

This team needs a right tackle, and in Jones, they would be getting a guy who can come in and play that role as a rookie, and then eventually move to the left side. Seattle is going to be in the mix again in 2020, but they have to do a better job of protecting their best asset in Wilson.

The Baltimore Ravens have a special talent at the quarterback position, as Lamar Jackson shook off all the talk of him being a running back during the draft process, and has turned into an NFL MVP. Last season, he led the Ravens to the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, only to lose at home to the Tennessee Titans in shocking fashion.

Still, this is a kid who is going to have the Ravens in the mix for a long time, and with pick No. 28 in the 2020 NFL Draft, they should look to get better on the other side of the ball. Bringing in an edge rusher this offseason is going to be crucial, and Notre Dame’s Julian Okwara would be someone who can come in and start right away.

On this Ravens defense, there are holes on the edge, and at linebacker, so they could go either route with this pick. However, I believe that Okwara will have an outstanding combine, and experts are already starting to think that he will land in the first round. The Ravens should be waiting with open arms.
