2020 full 1st-round NFL mock draft after the Super Bowl
By Sanjit T.
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (f/LAR): CB C.J. Henderson, Florida
Losing Jalen Ramsey is huge for this team, but with losing him, the Jaguars were able to get a first-round pick. To replace him, the Jaguars will pick one of the better corners coming out over the past five years, C.J. Henderson.
Henderson is very good in man to man coverage and will not be beaten by most receivers. He had a great 2018 campaign but unfortunately followed that up with a not so great 2019 season. Part of that could be because of the new stuff he was asked to do.
His playmaking ability is there, as since the start of 2018, he’s broken up 11 passes on 66 targets.
21. Philadelphia Eagles: S Grant Delpit, LSU
The Eagles secondary needs help and with Rodney McLeod set to be a free agent, and Malcolm Jenkins making it clear he will not play without a new contract, the Eagles two starting safeties could both be gone come 2020.
To replace either one of those two players, the Eagles will take LSU’s Grant Delpit, who by many is considered the best safety in this draft class. He is stout against the run, and not bad in pass coverage, as he has given up only nine catches on 17 targets. Delpit is a playmaker in coverage. He has gotten his hands on the ball six times on those 17 targets.
The only concern scouts will have is his tackling, as last year he had 20 missed tackles.
22. Buffalo Bills: WR Henry Ruggs III, Alabama
The Bills have one of the NFL’s best defenses. So, in this draft class, they should focus on their offense, and give their franchise quarterback, Josh Allen, some needed help at wide receiver.
Henry Ruggs III is a yard after catch monster and is most definitely slated for the first round this April. Ruggs has the type of speed that I’m not sure even Josh Allen could overthrow. Over his college career, he had a total of 98 receptions, and of those, 24 have gone for touchdowns.
