Final PhinPhanatic 2020 NFL Mock Draft: Full first round with trades
By Brian Miller
The Jaguars made the move from nine knowing that they have more than a few needs. Safety is a real possibility here as well but it might be a tad bit too early. With a need for defensive line help, they get a player that they may have likely considered at pick nine.
The Cowboys are always an interesting team to watch when it comes to the draft. Frankly, I don’t think anyone knows what Jerry Jones will do because I don’t Jerry Jones knows until there are about 4 seconds left on their clock. Safety is also a real possibility and explored the idea of Xavier McKinney or Grant Delpit here but I’m not sure Jones goes that route.
The Eagles make a trade with the Dolphins who at this point, don’t see the value in an offensive lineman. The Eagles need help at WR and the Jaguars who pick at 20 would jump at the chance to draft Lamb. Lamb gives Carson Wentz a big target and the Dolphins pick up another draft pick that they will eventually trade but they only drop back two spots.
This could be Kenneth Murray or an edge guy but the Raiders need to add a linebacker and Patrick Queen has been quietly climbing up draft boards. Queen will make an immediate impact for the Raiders and in the land of Ace’s, King’s and Queens, his name makes sense for Vegas.
The Jaguars could go with offensive line help but it’s thin at this point. They already addressed the defensive line but they need help at linebacker as well considering there is so much uncertainty with Telvin Smith. Murray is a solid linebacker and with the two new defensive players in this draft, the Jaguars have taken a big step to fixing some of their problems.
