#17 Dallas Cowboys: Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama

SEC Championship - Alabama v Georgia
SEC Championship - Alabama v Georgia

McKinney's rangy athleticism and ball-hawking skills would make him a perfect fit for any team in need of safety help. The Cowboys have had a glaring hole at safety for far too long, and drafting arguably the best safety in this draft class, in McKinney, would bring an immediate boost to Dallas' secondary.

#18 Miami Dolphins: D'Andre Swift, RB, Georgia

Miami needs a legitimate three-down back since trading Kenyon Drake to Arizona last season. Drafting the top running back, in Swift, makes way too much sense. Don't let his small 5'9" frame fool you, he is lightning in a bottle, who also has the ability to be an elite pass-catching back at the next level.

#19 Las Vegas Raiders: Derek Brown, DT, Auburn

Pairing perhaps the best interior defensive lineman with last April's first-round pick, Clelin Ferrell, should be a split-second decision for Las Vegas. You win games in the NFL by being dominant up front, and the Raiders would bolster their D-line by selecting Brown here.

#20 Jacksonville Jaguars (via Rams): Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

Since trading away Jalen Ramsey last season, the Jags now have a hole at corner. Finding Ramsey's replacement should be of top priority, and selecting a top-tier, man-to-man corner, in Fulton, would both fill the need at corner and pair nicely with A.J. Bouye as well.

#21 Philadelphia Eagles: Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama

Despite winning their division and making the playoffs with nine wins, one of Philly's biggest issues last season was the injuries to their receiving corps. Ruggs is the kind of wideout who can take it to the house with every touch he gets. Pairing the elite speedster with Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and DeSean Jackson would help give Carson Wentz and the Eagles' offense a much-needed boost next season.

#22 Buffalo Bills: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

The Bills have plenty of speed at the receiver and could use a big-bodied wideout such as Jefferson. We all know Josh Allen has a big arm, so pairing he and Jefferson, whose also an exceptionally polished route runner, would make Buffalo's offense even more dynamic in 2020.

#23 New England Patriots: Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson

One of the bigger knocks on New England's offense last season was the inability of their receivers to create separation. Higgins is a big-bodied wideout who reminds me a bit of D.K. Metcalf, who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks last April. His ability to track the deep ball is something that could certainly help bring an extra boost to a Patriots offense that was below-average last season.

#24 New Orleans Saints: K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State

New Orleans already has a big-bodied receiver in Michael Thomas. But giving Drew Brees an electric playmaker that has the ability to run by opposing corners in seconds, could help make the Saints' offense even more potent in 2020.
