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

14. Jacksonville Jaguars (from TB)*

CJ Henderson | CB | Florida

This is a huge win for the Jags, who move back five spots in return for a promising tight end in O.J. Howard, and still end up with the player they likely would have taken anyway at No. 9 overall.

Henderson has emerged as a clear-cut No. 2 corner in this class behind Okudah, thanks to his combination of size, length and ball skills, and his experience in press-man coverage against top competition in the SEC. He needs to improve as a tackler, but that’s not as important to most teams as what he brings in coverage.

Trading away both Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye within the last year has left a gaping hole at corner in Jacksonville. Filling one of those spots with Henderson would be a fantastic start to this draft, especially after moving back and adding Howard.
