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

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from LAR)

Justin Herbert | QB | Oregon

I’m sure the Jags have every intention of riding with Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback right now, but if this scenario comes to pass, don’t be surprised if they change their tune.

Herbert is expected to be a top-10 pick, but if he gets by the Dolphins and Chargers, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him tumble a bit. He did improve his game by returning for his senior season, winning the Rose Bowl and going out in style. But I still have enough questions about his game to wonder about his ability to be a Day 1 starter.

Going to Jacksonville would create an interesting dynamic for a team that paid Nick Foles a ton of money only to have Minshew beat him out. Would the Jags be willing to create another quarterback controversy after trading Foles to Chicago?
