2020 NFL mock draft: Justin Herbert lands with the Chargers

The Philadelphia Eagles have their fair share of issues on both sides of the ball, but entering the 2020 NFL season, they have to be considered a player in a tough NFC. Carson Wentz will be back healthy next season, and if they can add some more explosive pieces around him, they should be fine on offense.

On defense, they could use some help at the linebacker position, and if they bring in Kenneth Murray, they would be getting the best player at his position in the draft class. Murray has the ability to play sideline to sideline, and if the Eagles want to repeat as NFC East champs, they have to improve the position group.

Repeating in the NFC East has proved to be nearly impossible in recent years, but the Eagles have the talent on both sides of the ball to get it done. Murray is going to be the first linebacker off the board, and on Philadelphia, he fills arguably the biggest need they have on that side of the ball.

There is no big surprise as to why the Minnesota Vikings would go with a wide receiver here, as they are in desperate need for help at the position heading into 2020. The Vikings traded away star wideout Stefon Diggs for a first round pick to the Buffalo Bills, and will now pick twice in a four-pick span.

For the Vikings, they have picked the best year in a long time to have a need at wide receiver, as this draft class is one of the best in recent memory. Even at pick No. 22, the Vikings could bring in a terrific player in Justin Jefferson, who is fresh off being Joe Burrow’s main target in a Heisman Trophy winning season.

Not only is Jefferson a solid playmaker, but he also is the kind of player who comes up big in big moments, as shown during the Tigers national title run. Kirk Cousins finally won a playoff game last year, and with added talent on both sides of the ball, they will be looking to take the next step forward.
