2020 NFL mock draft: Final 1st-round projections with trades

Luke Easterling makes his final projections for the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, with a handful of big trades and surprise picks

11. New York Jets

Jerry Jeudy | WR | Alabama

Offensive tackle is a need here, so Becton could also be in the mix. But with questions surrounding a flagged drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine hovering over Becton, it wouldn’t be surprising to see teams take a safer route with their top pick, especially if there’s better value at another position of need.

That’s what happens here with the Jets, who let Robby Anderson walk in free agency, leaving them without a true No. 1 wide receiver for Sam Darnold. They’re not getting the first wide receiver off the board in this scenario, but they are getting the best, most complete one in the draft in Jeudy.

Jeudy does everything well, at every level of the field, from ankle-breaking routes to explosive big-play ability both after the catch and down the field. He’s exactly what Darnold and this offense needs to replace Anderson, and he’s a bargain outside the top 10.
