While Super Bowl LIV was decided several weeks ago, it is not time to stop thinking about the NFL just yet. We are now less than two months away from the 2020 NFL Draft. Thanks to their positioning in the draft, there are several teams with an opportunity to completely change the outlook of their franchise. These are the four teams to keep an eye on during the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft.
Cincinnati Bengals
While the 2019 NFL season was absolutely disastrous for the Cincinnati Bengals, they are now in the envious position of having the first overall pick at the upcoming draft. It is basically guaranteed that Cincinnati will use this pick to select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. If the Bengals can find some solid defensive players later in the draft, then they should have a solid team for the foreseeable future.
Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins got off to a rough start last year, but they started to turn things around late in the season. Miami enters the 2020 draft with three first-round picks and 12 total picks. They will be able to use these picks to fill major holes at the quarterback and offensive tackle positions. Do not be shocked to see Miami move up from the fifth overall pick to get their desired franchise quarterback.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars are only one season removed from playing in the AFC Championship Game. The 2019 season may not have gone their way, but there is a lot of talent on this team. Jacksonville has a chance to completely revamp their defense with two first-round picks. The goal will be to get a shutdown corner to replace Jalen Ramsey and an athletic interior lineman or linebacker that can stop the run.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders franchise has officially moved to Las Vegas, so it will be interesting to see how they try to excite the new fan base at the draft. The Raiders are another team that will get to make multiple selections in the first round. Unless something very shocking happens, one of these picks will surely be used to select a new quarterback. Las Vegas ideally would like to take Jordan Love, but they may have to settle for Jacob Easton.
