2020 NFL mock draft: Dolphins trade up for Tua
By Brad Weiss
52. . Cornerback. Jacksonville Jaguars. C.J. Henderson. 9. player
The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to be active this offseason, and have already agreed on a trade with the Denver Broncos for cornerback A.J. Bouye. Bouye is the second starting cornerback traded by the Jaguars since the 2019 season began, so with the No. 9 overall pick, they may want to bring in a replacement.
Outside of Jeffrey Okudah from Ohio State, Florida’s C.J. Henderson is the best cornerback in this draft class. He has good tape, made a big splash at the NFL Scouting Combine, and with so many vacancies in this Jaguars defensive backfield, he could come in and start right away for head coach Doug Marrone.
This 2020 Jaguars team is going to look a lot different than the one who stepped onto the field in Week 1 of the 2019 season with such high hopes. Henderson is an elite talent at the cornerback spot, and with another pick later in round one, the Jaguars begin their rebuild this coming April.
Cleveland Browns. Tristan Wirfs. 10. player. 53. . Offensive Tackle
The Cleveland Browns are once again hitting the reset button at head coach, as Freddie Kitchens lasted only one season at the helm of the franchise. In 2020, Kevin Stefanski gets to try his hand at turning this organization around, and will have to do so with third-year quarterback Baker Mayfield under center.
After a tremendous rookie season, Mayfield came back down to earth in 2019, appearing in a ton of commercials, but also playing a terrible brand of football. The hope is that he can recapture the magic from 2018, and in order for him to do so, this Browns offensive line needs an overhaul this offseason.
At pick No. 10, the Browns can dip into a very deep offensive tackle pool by selecting Tristan Wirfs from Iowa. After a stunning performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, Wirfs is ticketed for the top-10 of the 2020 NFL Draft, and the Browns should be waiting with open arms if he is still there at 10.
