The Jacksonville Jaguars have two picks inside the top 20 of the 2020 NFL Draft. Let’s take a look at who could be available with those selections.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the enviable position of having two top 20 selections in the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft and are one of just two teams that can say that at the moment (Las Vegas Raiders).

They are currently in possession of the 9th and 20th overall spots and while it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they could use those to move up in the draft via trade, I expect they will stay put and keep both picks. There is just too much talent at the top of this draft that also happens to fit several positions of need for the Jaguars. This gives them a world of directions they could go in come April.

The team was horrendous the last couple of seasons against the run and are desperate for a force in the middle of their defense. They also are in need of some more talent out wide and playmakers in the secondary.

With names like Jeffrey Okudah, Isaiah Simmons and Henry Ruggs III potentially in play, I expect the Jaguars to come away with two really good football players to add to a roster that could use a lot of help.

Keeping in mind the needs of the team’s currently ahead of Jacksonville in the NFL Draft order, I’ve put together three slides each for both picks that highlight specific players I could see still being on the board for the Jaguars when they are on the clock at 9 and 20.
