Quarterback. New England Patriots. Jordan Love. 23. player. 47.
The New England Patriots will be without the services of quarterback Tom Brady for the first time in 20 years in 2020, leaving a gaping hole at the position. Brady has decided to head to Tampa Bay to close out his career, and head coach Bill Belichick would like nothing more than to win games without him.
New England has the talent to continue to dominate in the AFC East, but for the first time in a long time, there are question marks at the quarterback position. One way they could go is drafting Utah State quarterback Jordan Love, who has all the physical ability to be a standout player at the NFL level.
Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer currently make up the quarterback room in New England, and there is no way they go into the season with only them. Belichick will be out to prove a point in 2020, and by drafting Love, they have the players they need to make a transition from arguably the best quarterback in NFL history.
Wide Receiver. New Orleans Saints. Denzel Mims. 24. player. 15.
The New Orleans Saints will go into the 2020 NFL Draft as one of the stronger rosters in football, and they have a future Hall of Famer at quarterback in Drew Brees. While Brees still plays at a high level, his window for winning his second Super Bowl is closing, so it would be wise for the team to bring in more talent at wide receiver.
Michael Thomas is one of the best wideouts in the game, and with pick No. 24, they add another young talent alongside him at the position group. Denzel Mims can do it all from his wideout spot, going up and making big plays, going over the middle, and beating people deep. He fits this offense perfectly.
Sure, the Saints added Emmanuel Sanders, but he is 33-years old, and it would make sense to bring in a player who can help this team in the long run. Mims is a special talent, and when we get to draft night, he is going to have a first round grade on him, that is for sure.
