K'Lavon Chaisson. 17. player. 123. . Edge. Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys will have to make additions via the 2020 NFL Draft to their defense, this after losing some key pieces via free agency. Guys like edge rusher Robert Quinn and cornerback Byron Jones are both gone, leaving some gaping holes on this roster heading into the 2020 NFL season.

While they could go after a cornerback here, especially if C.J. Henderson is still available, they may want to go after a talented edge rusher from LSU. K’Lavon Chaisson was a big reason why the Tigers ended up winning it all, as he played his best games with the season on the line.

Dallas has already done a nice job adding to the offensive side of the ball, bringing back wide receiver Amari Cooper and placing the franchise tag on Dak Prescott. They still have to get him under contract for the long term, but looking at their roster, they should be in play to win the NFC East this season.

. Safety. Miami Dolphins. Xavier McKinney. 18. player. 59

The Miami Dolphins hold three first round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, making them the most busy team we will see later this month. In fact, the Dolphins hold nearly 15 selections in this year’s draft, and after being so active in free agency, they should be a team to watch moving forward.

After landing Byron Jones in free agency, the Dolphins continue to build up their secondary by bringing in the best pure safety this draft class has to offer. Xavier McKinney is a guy who can fit right into this Dolphins defense on Day 1, as they look to build the roster up and be competitive in the AFC East.

Staying with the East, there is a real chance the Dolphins make some noise this season, especially with Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots. Looking ahead, the Dolphins roster is going to be one of the more balanced in this division, especially if they have a solid 2020 NFL Draft.
