Complete 2020 NFL Mock Draft: 49ers and Raiders land instant playmakers
By Allen Settle
No. 19 — No. 24
The Raiders continue a really solid offseason by adding to their defense. The team has added good depth and talent on the defensive line and at linebacker. However, they still need help in their secondary.
Trevon Diggs is a solid player with major upside.
While Diggs does need to sure up his tackling consistency, he excels in coverage (particularly zone coverage). He has good size, athleticism, and skills to have a good NFL career.
Diggs could develop into a legitimate No.1 corner and is a smart play at No. 19.
The Jacksonville Jaguars should focus on defense. C.J. Henderson is a good defender.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ receiving corps was in shambles at the end of last season. They need to get a weapon for Carson Wentz. Henry Ruggs III is a dream scenario for Philly.
The Minnesota Vikings offense runs through Dalvin Cook. Expect Minnesota to prioritize the offensive line by taking the best one available.
…or Jacob Eason, QB, Georgia
I’m cheating here.
K’Lavon Chaisson will help New England’s defense. But keep an eye on Jordan Love and Jacob Eason. Especially if the Patriots don’t like their options via free agency or trade.
After all, the Patriots didn’t make an offer to Brady. And they never do anything without a plan.
Drew Brees is in the twilight of his career. Michael Thomas is awesome. But they need another weapon to capitalize on their widow and keep their QB young.
Justin Jefferson is that guy.
