9. Tennessee Titans: Jake Fromm– Quarterback- Georgia

Unless he has an unbelievable 2019 season, the Marcus Mariota experiment in Nashville is on its last legs. Some of Mariota’s lack of success has been out of his control, however, one would still expect more from a former second overall pick.

Jake Fromm on the other hand, could give the Titans more consistency at quarterback. Fromm offers the Titans durability and touch as a quarterback, something they have been lacking over the last few years.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jonathan Taylor– Running Back- Wisconsin

Since the selection of Ronald Jones III in 2018 seems to have been a miss so far, I decided to give the Bucs Jonathan Taylor, the running back from Wisconsin. If they truly decide to stick with quarterback Jameis Winston for the long haul, the Buccaneers must find him a reliable running back.

I almost went with an offensive tackle at this spot, given that Demar Dotson is nearing the end of his career. However, Jonathan Taylor is a power runner who people often forget about just how good he actually is.

11. New York Jets: Walker Little – Offensive Tackle- Stanford

With Kelvin Beachum turning 30-years-old and Brandon Shell struggling with injuries, the Jets could use some new blood at tackle. I know they drafted Chuma Edoga in 2019 NFL Draft, however, I’m not quite sold on him as a long-term starter.

Walker Little is a promising tackle prospect who could step right in an compete for a job. While yes, he is still fairly raw, I firmly believe that he still offers enough as a powerful run blocker and agile pass protector to warrant this selection.

12. Denver Broncos: Dylan Moses – Linebacker – Alabama

After quite literally trading out of the chance to select linebacker Devin Bush in 2019, the Broncos should look to rectify that choice in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Broncos are currently fielding Josey Jewell and Todd Davis at linebacker and that just won’t cut it.

That is why I have given them Dylan Moses, a fast and hard-hitting linebacker who would fit like a glove into that Denver defense. Moses would instantly be the best middle linebacker they have had since Danny Trevathan and would be a vocal leader in that defense alongside Von Miller.
