2020 NFL mock draft: Justin Herbert lands with the Chargers

The New England Patriots parted ways with Tom Brady this offseason, ending a 20-year era that saw the team not only go to nine Super Bowls, but win six of them. Now that they are without TB12, the Patriots have Jarrett Stidham ready to take over under center, that is unless they are not done adding to the quarterback spot.

There are a few ways they can still go, and that includes possibly taking a run at Cam Newton, or even picking a quarterback in the first round this April. Sitting at No. 24 overall, they are out on the top-3 signal-callers available in Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, and Joe Burrow, but Jordan Love would be an absolute steal at pick No. 23.

The issue here is, Love is rocketing up draft boards, and some even believe he has the most upside of any quarterback available. New England has work to do on both sides of the ball, and that includes quarterback, and having a duo of Stidham and Love would set them up for the long run.

The New Orleans Saints got their quarterback to return in Drew Brees, who is headed for the Hall of Fame, and still has a lot left in the tank. Heading into the 2020 NFL season, the Saints need to add to the wide receiver group, and they have a perfect year to do just that in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Laviska Shenault Jr. has had injuries de-rail his first round status, but when all is said and done, I still like him to land on the first day. The Saints have an elite player at the position in Michael Thomas, but he need help on the outside, and the window to win with Brees under center is starting to close.

New Orleans has the talent to get back to the playoffs next season, that is for sure, and they do not have many holes left on their roster. The combination of Thomas and Shenault would be downright scary with Brees still under center, and the youngster from Colorado can also be dominant as a return man for the team as well.
