Rams’ elimination from playoffs ensures Jags a top-20 pick in 2020

The Rams have been eliminated from the playoffs and that’s a goo thing for the Jags who have their 2020 first round selection.

The Los Angeles Rams fell to the San Francisco 49ers Saturday night, which resulted in them being eliminated from the playoffs. With the Jacksonville Jaguars having their first-round for the 2020 NFL Draft, the loss came as huge news for the Jags because it now ensures that the pick will be a top-20 selection.

As most are aware, the Jags got the Rams’ first-round selections for 2020-21 (plus more) as a result of the Jalen Ramsey trade. While it would’ve been nice to keep the All-Pro, many thought the Rams may end up in the postseason so the pick is one that will have more value than initially predicted. That’s certainly a good thing for the Jags, who have a bunch of needs and will be rebuilding in 2020.

When looking at some of the mocks on the web, the 2020 first-rounder given to the Jags by the Rams may be a spot where Alabama offensive lineman Jedrick Wills and Alex Leatherwood are available, or perhaps Louisiana State cornerback Kristian Fulton amongst several other notables.
