5. 87. Scouting Report. CB. Alabama. Patrick Surtain II. Pick Analysis. player
The defense for the Carolina Panthers will be very limited from the lack of efficient pass coverage. Adding the best available defensive back will be the solution.
Scouting Report. CB. Ohio State. Shaun Wade. player. 31. Pick Analysis. 6
Last season, the New York Giants had the 28th ranked pass defense (264.1 passing yards per game). They will need as much secondary help as possible.
DE/OLB. Penn State. Micah Parsons. 7. 30. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. player
The New York Jets will need an established pass rusher as well as starting outside linebacker. Last season, Micah Parsons accounted for 109 total tackles and 14 tackles for loss.
Justin Fields. Pick Analysis. QB. Ohio State. 28. Scouting Report. 8. player
The Las Vegas Raiders are more than willing to move on from their starting quarterback in Derek Carr by trade. Justin Fields will likely be available to produce a more explosive offense.
LB. Alabama. 9. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 44. Dylan Moses
Dylan Moses is a versatile linebacker who can impact the defense in the passing game and the rushing game. He could potentially play strong-side linebacker next to middle linebacker Deion Jones.
Alabama. Jaylen Waddle. 10. player. Scouting Report. WR. Pick Analysis. 50
The Detroit Lions are still looking for an elite supporting wide receiver to not only continue their high-efficient passing game but also push for some youth along with Kenny Golladay.
DT. Florida State. 11. 59. Scouting Report. player. Pick Analysis. Marvin Wilson
Miami acquired many impact players at many positions in the 2020 draft. Defensive tackle is a position that could use a dominant player to stop the run and create some pass rush.
