It is finally here! The 2020 NFL draft is tonight and many franchises will be changed forever. There is more speculation around this draft than in recent memory. Many are predicting a multitude of trades. Where do the quarterbacks get drafted? Here is my final mock for the 2020 draft.
- Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
- Washington Redskins- Chase Young, DE, Ohio State
- Detroit Lions- Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio State
- New York Giants- Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa
- Miami Dolphins- Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
- Los Angeles Chargers- Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
- Carolina Panthers- Isaiah Simmons, LB/S, Clemson
- Arizona Cardinals- Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
- Atlanta Falcons ( via Trade with Jacksonville)- CJ Henderson
- Denver Broncos ( via Trade with Cleveland)- Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
- New York Jets- Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
- Las Vegas Raiders- CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
- San Francisco 49ers- Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Derrick Brown, IDL, Auburn
- Cleveland Browns (via Trade with Denver)- Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
- Jacksonville Jaguars (via Trade with Atlanta)- Javon Kinlaw, IDL, South Carolina
- Dallas Cowboys- K’Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU
- Miami Dolphins- Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
- Las Vegas Raiders- A.J. Terrell, CB, Clemson
- Jacksonville Jaguars- Jeff Gladney, CB, TCU
- Philadelphia Eagles- Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
- Indianapolis Colts (via Trade with Minnesota)- Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
- New England Patriots- A.J. Epenesa, Edge, Iowa
- New Orleans Saints- Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma
- Minnesota Vikings- Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn
- Miami Dolphins- Ezra Cleveland, OT, Boise State
- Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Edge, Penn State
- Baltimore Ravens- Patrick Queen, LB, LSU
- Tennessee Titans- Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia
- Green Bay Packers- Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor
- San Francisco 49ers- Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
- Miami Dophins ( via trade with Kansas City)- D’ Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
*Chiefs trade out of the first round with Miami and acquire picks 39, 153 and 154
Round 2
Pick 39: Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah
Pick 63: Lucas Niang, OT, TCU
Round 3
Pick 96: Logan Wilson, LB, Wyoming
Round 4
Pick 138: Darrynton Evans, RB, Appalachin State
Round 5
Pick 153: James Proche, WR, SMU
Pick 154: Kyle Murphy, IOL, Rhode Island
Pick 177: Mykal Walker, LB, Fresno State
The Chiefs were able to trade down and get two additional picks. If the Chiefs do this tonight, I wouldn’t be surprised to see General Manager Brett Veach trade back up for a player he loves.
In this scenario they are able to address most of their needs. Jaylon Johnson and Logan Wilson are future starters in the NFL and both could see rolls this year on special teams and in sub packages, if they don’t end up starting. Niang could end up being the starting LT in 2021 if the Chiefs move on from Eric Fisher. Evans is an athletic speedster at RB and Proche is a technician at the WR position who both are picks for the future. Murphy is a developmental lineman along the interior and Walker is a special teams guy who could possibly carve out a role in nickel situations.
The draft is one of the most fun events of the NFL season. Enjoy it and trust Brett Veach and Andy Reid to continue to build a dynasty for years to come!
