2020 NFL Mock Draft: Final Edition

Here is the final edition of my 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, Quarterback, LSU: After what was a breakout season which led to a Heisman Trophy, Burrow emerged as the favorite to go first overall in this upcoming draft. The Bengals want to move on from Andy Dalton and start fresh here with Burrow, who second year coach Zac Taylor could help develop into the franchise quarterback the team is looking for.

2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State: Young is the best player in this draft and he falls one spot due to the Bengals quarterback need. The Redskins need a lot of young talent on both ends of the ball and Young would have an immediate impact in the league chasing the likes of Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Daniel Jones twice a season.

3. Detroit Lions- Jeff Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State: This is an interesting spot because this is a spot where someone could trade up for a quarterback and the Lions could get a nice haul back. The Lions are a team that's in dire need of secondary help after the trading of Darius Slay and Okudah is the best defensive back in the draft, although you can argue they should take Derrick Brown of Auburn due to their need on the interior of their defensive line.

4. New York Giants- Jedric Wills Jr, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Giants have some options here as they can select a tackle, Isaiah Simmons, or they can trade down and stack more assets and the latter is what the Giants would like to do. Wills is somebody that can come in and start right away and help protect Daniel Jones and he could move to left tackle in the future.

5. Miami Dolphins- Justin Herbert, Quarterback, Oregon: There's always a saying "when there's smoke, there's fire". That feels like the case here as the Dolphins pass on Tua Tagovailoa for Herbert due to the health concerns of Tua, who they loved a year ago. Herbert could have declared last season but stayed at school one more season to try to improve his stock, but I feel that he would have been a first round pick last season too.

6. Los Angeles Chargers- Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback, Alabama: The Chargers take their chances and select Tagovailoa after the Dolphins select Herbert. Tua was the consensus number one overall pick and prospect in this draft before his hip fracture in November and if he proves to stay healthy and is the same guy he was before the injuries, the Chargers land themselves a franchise guy.

7. Carolina Panthers- Isaiah Simmons, Linebacker, Clemson: The Panthers have a tough call here between Simmons and Derrick Brown. Here I have them taking Simmons, who can play literally anywhere on the defensive side of the ball and he can play multiple positions well.

8. Arizona Cardinals- Derrick Brown, Defensive Tackle, Auburn: The Cardinals have a hard decision here whether to take a tackle to protect Kyler Murray or to take Brown. Here I have them taking Brown, who fills an important need on the interior of their defensive line.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Tristian Wirfs, Offensive Tackle, Iowa: This is a pick that's very likely to be traded whether the Jags trade up to get perhaps a quarterback or down to gain more assets for their rebuild. If they stand pat, they have a ton of options and here I have them snagging Wirfs, who is super clean and would help protect whomever starts at quarterback for the Jaguars.

10. Cleveland Browns- Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Georgia: The Browns now have their choice of left tackles to chose from to put opposite of free agent addition Jack Conklin. Thomas is someone that I had going much higher than this when I did my first mock draft about three months ago, but his stock has dropped perhaps due to a footwork flaw.

11. New York Jets- Cee Dee Lamb, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: The Jets could go wide receiver to give Sam Darnold a much needed top receiver or take a lineman if one of the ones they like falls to them to protect Darnold. Lamb is someone that has high upside that has great hands, body control, and is a solid route runner.

12. Las Vegas Raiders- Jerry Jeudy, Wide Receiver, Alabama: Jon Gruden is doing back flips as Jeudy falls into his lap. He is a fantastic route runner and many folks have drawn comparisons to Calvin Johnson due to his tremendous upside. He'd certainly turn into Derek Carr's top option.

13. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis Colts)- Henry Ruggs III, Wide Receiver, Alabama: The Niners have some options here and they take the talented receiver. Ruggs is someone that would be a nice fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense with his solid route running and the fact he is clean and does the little things.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Mehki Becton, Offensive Tackle, Louisville: The Bucs snag the talented lineman here as he falls to them. There is a chance that Becton falls further than this due to his failed drug test, but I would be surprised if he fell further than this. Tom Brady needs protection and Becton has tremendous upside although he has technique issues.

15. Denver Broncos- Javon Kinlaw, Defensive Lineman, South Carolina: With the top three receivers off the board, the Broncos look to the defensive side of the ball and snag the versatile Kinlaw. Kinlaw would be a great fit here playing next to the newly acquired Jurrell Casey.

16. Atlanta Falcons- CJ Henderson, Cornerback, Florida: The consensus at this point is that the Falcons are poised to trade up and select Henderson, who could end up going in the top ten. Henderson has tremendous upside and there's people that feel he is the best corner in the draft and not Jeff Okudah. Henderson would be a great replacement for Desmond Trufant.

17. Dallas Cowboys- K'Lavon Chaisson, Defensive End, LSU: Edge rush and cornerback are two of the Cowboys biggest needs after Byron Jones and Robert Quinn bolted as free agents. They choose to go with Chaisson to pair along side DeMarcus Lawrence, who is raw but was a sack machine in college.

18. Miami Dolphins (from Pittsburgh Steelers)- Josh Jones, Offensive Tackle, Houston: As bad as the Dolphins need offensive line reinforcements, taking Jones here would be a reach. Jones was a four year starter in college and he has great movement as well as the length and feet to succeed in the league.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Kristian Fulton, Cornerback, LSU: With their second first rounder the Silver and Black address their secondary and take Fulton. Fulton is very talented, is super clean with how he plays, and he can come in and start right away.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- AJ Terrell, Cornerback, Clemson: The Jaguars with their second first rounder could go in a number of directions too, and here I have them selecting the talented corner in Terrell to help fill the voids left by Jalen Ramsey and AJ. Boyue. Terrell is someone that is long and athletic and could possibly go higher than this.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Justin Jefferson, Wide Receiver, LSU: The city of Philadelphia does a sigh of relief as they snag the talented receiver in Jefferson, who many people (including myself) has made this mock selection a lot. Jefferson is someone that shined in big games last year in college catching passes from Joe Burrow.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills)- Jaylon Johnson, Cornerback, Utah: Johnson is one of the fast rising corners as we head closer to the draft. With Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and Mackensie Alexander all gone, the Vikings fill a major need with someone that with his tools would fit nicely in Mike Zimmer's scheme.

23. New England Patriots- AJ Epenesa, Defensive End, Iowa: The Patriots are a bit of a wild card in this draft and could go in many different directions with this selection whether it's a quarterback, a defensive player, or a trade down. Epenesa has shown to be versatile and has great length and athleticism, similar to ex-Patriot and current Lion Tre Fowlers.

24. New Orleans Saints- Patrick Queen, Linebacker, LSU: Queen is one of the rapid risers of late in many different peoples mock drafts. The Saints biggest need is at the linebacker position and Queen will certainly help the cause with his ability to play three downs as well as his speed, although he is undersized.

25. Minnesota Vikings- Erza Cleveland, Offensive Tackle, Boise State: The Vikings could go in a number of directions with their second selection of the first round. Here I have them throwing a little curveball here and select the fast rising tackle in Cleveland. There's a chance Cleveland goes higher than this and he's someone that was solid as a player.

26. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)- Xavier McKinney, Safety, Alabama: With their final first round pick, the Dolphins snag the talented safety in McKinney to replace Minkah Fitzpatrick. McKinney is someone that can play all levels on the back end of a defense and has great range.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Defensive End, Penn State: Gross-Matos's stock has dropped after being projected to be in the top 15. The Seahawks have a pass rush need assuming they don't bring back Jadeveon Clowney and Gross-Matos would help the cause with his good length and speed.

28. Baltimore Ravens- Kenneth Murray, Linebacker, Oklahoma: One of the glaring needs on the Ravens roster is at the linebacker position as they have a choice of a few to choose from. Murray is someone that has a ton of speed and is very rangy and this would be a great fit.


29. Tennessee Titans- Austin Jackson, Offensive Tackle, USC: The Titans have some options here with this selection and here I have them snagging the talented lineman to replace the departed Jack Conklin. Jackson could have benefited from returning to school to help improve his technique, but he does the upside to be a solid contributor.

30. Green Bay Packers- Brandon Aiyuk, Wide Receiver, Arizona State: The Packers have some options here with this selection and they take the fast rising receiver in Aiyuk. Aiyuk is someone that is very clean and is a good deep ball threat. He with DeVante Adams for Aaron Rodgers to throw to would be fun to watch.

31. San Francisco 49ers- Trevon Diggs, Cornerback, Alabama: Diggs falling this far would be a major steal for the Niners, who have a need at the position. Diggs has shown physicality and imposing length to be a top corner on a team.

32. Kansas City Chiefs- Cesar Ruiz, Center, Michigan: The Chiefs have options with this pick as they can go anywhere on defense or even offensive line. Ruiz is the best interior offensive lineman in this draft and the reigning champions snag him here.

2020 NFL Mock Draft: Tenth Edition

Here is the tenth edition of my 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, Quarterback, LSU: After what was a breakout season which led to a Heisman Trophy, Burrow emerged as the favorite to go first overall in this upcoming draft. The Bengals want to move on from Andy Dalton and start fresh here with Burrow, who second year coach Zac Taylor could help develop into the franchise quarterback the team is looking for.

2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State: Young is the best player in this draft and he falls one spot due to the Bengals quarterback need. The Redskins need a lot of young talent on both ends of the ball and Young would have an immediate impact in the league chasing the likes of Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Daniel Jones twice a season.

3. Detroit Lions- Jeff Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State: This is an interesting spot because this is a spot where someone could trade up for a quarterback and the Lions could get a nice haul back. The Lions are a team that's in dire need of secondary help after the trading of Darius Slay and Okudah is the best defensive back in the draft, although you can argue they should take Derrick Brown of Auburn due to their need on the interior of their defensive line.

4. New York Giants- Jedric Wills Jr, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Giants have some options here as they can select a tackle, Isaiah Simmons, or they can trade down and stack more assets and the latter is what the Giants would like to do. Wills is somebody that can come in and start right away and help protect Daniel Jones and he could move to left tackle in the future.

5. Miami Dolphins- Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback, Alabama: There is a lot of talk that the Dolphins could pass on Tua for Justin Herbert, like I have had mocked the past few mocks and there's even chatter that the Dolphins may take a non-quarterback here. Lets say the rumors are a smokescreen and the Dolphins take a risk on the the guy they've loved from the beginning. If Tua does not pan out to what we think he can be, Chris Grier may lose his job.

6. Los Angeles Chargers- Justin Herbert, Quarterback. Oregon: The Chargers are left with Herbert or a non quarterback and they settle on Herbert after the Dolphins take Tua. The Chargers could be the ideal situation for Herbert because their roster is solid already and could compete in the AFC.

7. Carolina Panthers- Isaiah Simmons, Linebacker, Clemson: The Panthers have a tough call here between Simmons and Derrick Brown. Here I have them taking Simmons, who can play literally anywhere on the defensive side of the ball and he can play multiple positions well.

8. Arizona Cardinals- Tristian Wirfs, Offensive Tackle, Iowa: The Cardinals also have a tough call here as they can go with Wirfs or Derrick Brown. They choose to help protect Kyler Murray by selecting Wirfs, who is the cleanest tackle in the draft class.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Derrick Brown, Defensive Tackle, Auburn: The Jaguars are perhaps the drafts biggest wild card team as they could go in a number of directions with their first round picks. Here I have them snagging Brown as they need reinforcements on their defensive line after trading away Calais Campbell and Yannick Nagouke soon to be out as well.

10. Cleveland Browns- Mekhi Becton, Offensive Tackle, Louisville: The Browns biggest need is on the offensive line and they snag the talented tackle with Becton. Becton is someone that has tremendous upside, but does have technique flaws. A failed drug test could make him slide past this point, but I do think he'll be snagged within the first fourteen picks.

11. New York Jets- Cee Dee Lamb, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: The Jets could go wide receiver to give Sam Darnold a much needed top receiver or take a lineman if one of the ones they like falls to them to protect Darnold. Lamb is someone that has high upside that has great hands, body control, and is a solid route runner.

12. Las Vegas Raiders- Jerry Jeudy, Wide Receiver, Alabama: Jon Gruden is doing back flips as Jeudy falls into his lap. He is a fantastic route runner and many folks have drawn comparisons to Calvin Johnson due to his tremendous upside. He'd certainly turn into Derek Carr's top option.

13. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis Colts)- Javon Kinlaw, Defensive Lineman, South Carolina: This is a tough call for John Lynch on his first of two first rounders and he decides to help replace DeForrest Buckner with the pick he got back in the Buckner trade instead of taking Henry Ruggs III. Kinlaw is someone who is super versatile and would be a great fit on the Niners front seven.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Georgia: Thomas was someone I had going as high as fourth, but his stock has dropped a bit possibly due to a flaw he has of incorrect footwork. This would be a win for Tom Brady as the Bucs get him some much needed protection.

15. Denver Broncos- Henry Ruggs III, Wide Receiver, Alabama: John Elway is doing back flips as one of the best three wideouts in this class falls to him. Ruggs is someone that could conceivably be the first receiver off the board due to his outstanding speed and route running. He would be a great target for Drew Lock along with Courtland Sutton.

16. Atlanta Falcons- CJ Henderson, Cornerback, Florida: The consensus at this point is that the Falcons are poised to trade up and select Henderson, who could end up going in the top ten. Henderson has tremendous upside and there's people that feel he is the best corner in the draft and not Jeff Okudah. Henderson would be a great replacement for Desmond Trufant.

17. Dallas Cowboys- K'Lavon Chaisson, Defensive End, LSU: Edge rush and cornerback are two of the Cowboys biggest needs after Byron Jones and Robert Quinn bolted as free agents. They choose to go with Chaisson to pair along side DeMarcus Lawrence, who is raw but was a sack machine in college.

18. Miami Dolphins (from Pittsburgh Steelers)- Josh Jones, Offensive Tackle, Houston: As bad as the Dolphins need offensive line reinforcements, taking Jones here would be a reach. Jones was a four year starter in college and he has great movement as well as the length and feet to succeed in the league.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- AJ Terrell, Cornerback, Clemson: The Raiders take the fast rising corner here in Terrell with their second first rounder. Terrell is versatile for his size, but he does have flaws that could be fixed in the league.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- Trevon Diggs, Cornerback, Alabama: The Jaguars have a major need in their secondary after trading away Jalen Ramsey and AJ Boyue. They select Riggs here to address that need and he can come in and start right away in this scenario.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Xavier McKinney, Safety, Alabama: The Eagles badly need a wide receiver, but they can wait till day two to address that. Here I have them filling a need at safety here with McKinney, who replaces the departed Malcolm Jenkins. McKinney is someone that can play all levels on the back end of a defense and has great range.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills)- Justin Jefferson, Wide Receiver, LSU: The Vikings snag Jefferson here with the first rounder they received in the Stefon Diggs trade to replace Diggs. Jefferson had a breakout season this past year catching so many passes from Joe Burrow and made big plays when it mattered the most.

23. New England Patriots- AJ Epenesa, Defensive End, Iowa: The Patriots are a bit of a wild card in this draft and could go in many different directions with this selection whether it's a quarterback, a defensive player, or a trade down. Epenesa has shown to be versatile and has great length and athleticism, similar to ex-Patriot and current Lion Tre Fowlers.

24. New Orleans Saints- Patrick Queen, Linebacker, LSU: Queen is one of the rapid risers of late in many different peoples mock drafts. The Saints biggest need is at the linebacker position and Queen will certainly help the cause with his ability to play three downs as well as his speed, although he is undersized.

25. Minnesota Vikings- Jaylon Johnson, Cornerback, Utah: Johnson is one of the fast rising corners as we head closer to the draft. With Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and Mackensie Alexander all gone, the Vikings fill a major need with someone that with his tools would fit nicely in Mike Zimmer's scheme.

26. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)- DeAndre Swift, Running Back, Georgia: The Dolphins have some options with this selection and here I have them taking the talented back. Swift is someone that will come in and be an upgrade over what they currently have and assuming they do address their offensive line with other selections, Swift could really help this offense with his speed and catching ability out of the backfield.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Defensive End, Penn State: Gross-Matos's stock has dropped after being projected to be in the top 15. The Seahawks have a pass rush need assuming they don't bring back Jadeveon Clowney and Gross-Matos would help the cause with his good length and speed.

28. Baltimore Ravens- Kenneth Murray, Linebacker, Oklahoma: One of the glaring needs on the Ravens roster is at the linebacker position as they have a choice of a few to choose from. Murray is someone that has a ton of speed and is very rangy.

29. Tennessee Titans- Austin Jackson, Offensive Tackle, USC: The Titans have some options here with this selection and here I have them snagging the talented lineman to replace the departed Jack Conklin. Jackson could have benefited from returning to school to help improve his technique, but he does the upside to be a solid contributor.

30. Green Bay Packers- Brandon Aiyuk, Wide Receiver, Arizona State: The Packers have some options here with this selection and they take the fast rising receiver in Aiyuk. Aiyuk is someone that is very clean and is a good deep ball threat. He with DeVante Adams for Aaron Rodgers to throw to would be fun to watch.

31. San Francisco 49ers- Kristian Fulton, Cornerback, LSU: Fulton falling this far would be a major win for John Lynch and company. Richard Sherman is getting older and other guys in their secondary will be free agents after the 2020 season so this would be a logical pick as well.

32. Kansas City Chiefs- Cesar Ruiz, Center, Michigan: The Chiefs have options with this pick as they can go anywhere on defense or even offensive line. Ruiz is the best interior offensive lineman in this draft and the reigning champions snag him here.

2020 NFL Mock Draft: Ninth Edition

Here is the ninth edition of my 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, Quarterback, LSU: After what was a breakout season which led to a Heisman Trophy, Burrow emerged as the favorite to go first overall in this upcoming draft. The Bengals want to move on from Andy Dalton and start fresh here with Burrow, who second year coach Zac Taylor could help develop into the franchise quarterback the team is looking for.

2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State: Young is the best player in this draft and he falls one spot due to the Bengals quarterback need. The Redskins need a lot of young talent on both ends of the ball and Young would have an immediate impact in the league chasing the likes of Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Daniel Jones twice a season.

3. Detroit Lions- Jeff Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State: This is an interesting spot because this is a spot where someone could trade up for a quarterback and the Lions could get a nice haul back. The Lions are a team that's in dire need of secondary help after the trading of Darius Slay and Okudah is the best defensive back in the draft, although you can argue they should take Derrick Brown of Auburn due to their need on the interior of their defensive line.

4. New York Giants- Tristian Wirfs, Offensive Tackle, Iowa: The Giants have some options here as they can stay at four and take a lineman or Isaiah Simmons or a possible trade down, which I think the Giants are trying to do. Wirfs is someone that has tremendous upside and is versatile and is perhaps the cleanest offensive tackle prospect in the draft. He would certainly help protect Daniel Jones and find holes for Saquon Barkley.

5. Miami Dolphins- Justin Herbert, Quarterback, Oregon: There's always a saying "when there's smoke, there's fire". That feels like the case here as the Dolphins pass on Tua Tagovailoa for Herbert due to the health concerns of Tua, who they loved a year ago. Herbert could have declared last season but stayed at school one more season to try to improve his stock, but I feel that he would have been a first round pick last season too.

6. Los Angeles Chargers- Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback, Alabama: The Chargers take their chances and select Tagovailoa after the Dolphins select Herbert. Tua was the consensus number one overall pick and prospect in this draft before his hip fracture in November and if he proves to stay healthy and is the same guy he was before the injuries, the Chargers land themselves a franchise guy.

7. Carolina Panthers- Derrick Brown, Defensive Tackle, Auburn: The Panthers once had a great defense, but now it looks like a unit that needs reinforcements. Brown is somebody who's rare for his size, but always was a steady player in college and would be a nice building block in Matt Rhule's first draft.

8. Arizona Cardinals- Jedric Wills, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Cardinals could consider Derrick Brown if he's still on the board, but in this scenario he's gone and they take the talented lineman. Wills is someone that could go as high as fourth to the Giants due to his blocking ability and would help keep Kyler Murray upright.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Isaiah Simmons, Linebacker/Defensive Back, Clemson: With the Jaguars trading a bunch of veterans away over the last six months, they take a stud here in Simmons. Simmons can play literally every defensive position and can play multiple positions well. He would be a nice building block for them as they enter a rebuild.

10. Cleveland Browns- Mekhi Becton, Offensive Tackle, Louisville: The Browns biggest need is on the offensive line and they snag the talented tackle with Becton. Becton is someone that has tremendous upside, but does have technique flaws. A failed drug test could make him slide past this point, but I do think he'll be snagged within the first fourteen picks.

11. New York Jets- Cee Dee Lamb, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: The Jets could go wide receiver to give Sam Darnold a much needed top receiver or take a lineman if one of the ones they like falls to them to protect Darnold. Lamb is someone that has high upside that has great hands, body control, and is a solid route runner.

12. Las Vegas Raiders- Jerry Jeudy, Wide Receiver, Alabama: Jon Gruden is doing back flips as Jeudy falls into his lap. He is a fantastic route runner and many folks have drawn comparisons to Calvin Johnson due to his tremendous upside. He'd certainly turn into Derek Carr's top option.

13. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis Colts)- Henry Ruggs III, Wide Receiver, Alabama: The Niners have some options here and they take the talented receiver. Ruggs is someone that would be a nice fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense with his solid route running and the fact he is clean and does the little things.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Georgia: Thomas was someone I had going as high as fourth, but his stock has dropped a bit possibly due to a flaw he has of incorrect footwork. This would be a win for Tom Brady as the Bucs get him some much needed protection.

15. Denver Broncos- Javon Kinlaw, Defensive Lineman, South Carolina: With the top three receivers off the board, the Broncos look to the defensive side of the ball and snag the versatile Kinlaw. Kinlaw would be a great fit here playing next to the newly acquired Jurrell Casey.

16. Atlanta Falcons- CJ Henderson, Cornerback, Florida: The Falcons are doing jumping jacks as the talented corner drops to them here instead of them trying to trade up. Henderson could potentially go as high as ninth to Jacksonville as teams love his potential and he could come in and start right away replacing Desmond Trufant.

17. Dallas Cowboys- K'Lavon Chaisson, Defensive End, LSU: Edge rush and cornerback are two of the Cowboys biggest needs after Byron Jones and Robert Quinn bolted as free agents. They choose to go with Chaisson to pair along side DeMarcus Lawrence, who is raw but was a sack machine in college.

18. Miami Dolphins (from Pittsburgh Steelers)- Xavier McKinney, Safety, Alabama: The Dolphins got this pick from Pittsburgh in the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade and they essentially replace him with another Alabama product. McKinney is someone that can play all levels on the back end of a defense and has great range.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Patrick Queen, Linebacker, LSU: Queen is someone that is a super fast riser as the draft comes this week. The Raiders have needs all over their defense and Queen, despite being undersized, he can play three downs and has great speed.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- AJ Terrell, Cornerback, Clemson: With their second first rounder, the Jags look to address the secondary after the trading of Jalen Ramsey and AJ Boyue. They pick Terrell here who is talented and has good ball skills and length to succeed in the league.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Kenneth Murray, Linebacker, Oklahoma: Philadelphia will go into a riot if the Eagles don't take a receiver here, but they can wait until day two as they address their linebacker situation here. Murray is someone that is a dynamic playmaker that would be a nice fit on that defense.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills)- Justin Jefferson, Wide Receiver, LSU: The Vikings snag Jefferson here with the first rounder they received in the Stefon Diggs trade to replace Diggs. Jefferson had a breakout season this past year catching so many passes from Joe Burrow and made big plays when it mattered the most.

23. New England Patriots- AJ Epenesa, Defensive End, Iowa: The Patriots are a bit of a wild card in this draft and could go in many different directions with this selection whether it's a quarterback, a defensive player, or a trade down. Epenesa has shown to be versatile and has great length and athleticism, similar to ex-Patriot and current Lion Tre Fowlers.

24. New Orleans Saints- Jordan Love, Quarterback, Utah State: The Saints have been rumored to first round quarterbacks the past few seasons and here I have them snagging Love to be the longterm replacement for Drew Brees, who a lot of people think is retiring after the 2020 season. Love is one of the biggest boom or bust prospects in the draft and is super raw.

25. Minnesota Vikings- Jaylon Johnson, Cornerback, Utah: Johnson is one of the fast rising corners as we head closer to the draft. With Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and Mackensie Alexander all gone, the Vikings fill a major need with someone that with his tools would fit nicely in Mike Zimmer's scheme.

26. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)- Josh Jones, Offensive Tackle, Houston: The Dolphins take the fast rising tackle to replace Laremy Tunsil, who was traded away for this draft pick before last season. He has great movement as well as the length and feet to succeed in the league after being a starter for four seasons in college.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Defensive End, Penn State: Gross-Matos's stock has dropped after being projected to be in the top 15. The Seahawks have a pass rush need assuming they don't bring back Jadeveon Clowney and Gross-Matos would help the cause with his good length and speed.

28. Baltimore Ravens- Zack Baun, Linebacker, Wisconsin: Baun is someone that admitted today that he tested positive for diluted sample, which could hurt his draft stock. The Ravens have a need at the linebacker position and Baun would be a nice fit with his athleticism to drop and cover.

29. Tennessee Titans- Kristan Fulton, Cornerback, LSU: This would be a steal for the Titans if Fulton makes it to this point. Fulton is someone that was always clean as a player in college and he would have been a first rounder had he declared last year. Two of the three best corners on the team will be free agents after the 2020 season so this pick would make sense as well.

30. Green Bay Packers- Jordan Brooks, Linebacker, Texas Tech: Brooks is one the fastest risers as the draft approaches this week. Brooks is someone that showed a ton of potential in college and scouts have compared him to Bobby Wagner. The Packers have a need at linebacker with the free agent departure of Blake Martinez so Brooks would be a great pick.

31. San Francisco 49ers- Ross Bladlock, Defensive Tackle, TCU: The Niners have options here with this selection and they take the talented interior defensive lineman here. Bladlock showed flashes of dominance while in college and is two years removed from an achilles injury. He probably won't be as good as a player as DeForrest Buckner, but they have to replace him somehow.

32. Kansas City Chiefs- Cesar Ruiz, Center, Michigan: The Chiefs have options with this pick as they can go anywhere on defense or even offensive line. Ruiz is the best interior offensive lineman in this draft and the reigning champions snag him here.

2020 NFL Mock Draft: Eighth Edition

Here is the eighth edition of my 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, Quarterback, LSU: After what was a breakout season which led to a Heisman Trophy, Burrow emerged as the favorite to go first overall in this upcoming draft. The Bengals want to move on from Andy Dalton and start fresh here with Burrow, who second year coach Zac Taylor could help develop into the franchise quarterback the team is looking for.

2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State: Young is the best player in this draft and he falls one spot due to the Bengals quarterback need. The Redskins need a lot of young talent on both ends of the ball and Young would have an immediate impact in the league chasing the likes of Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Daniel Jones twice a season.

3. Detroit Lions- Jeff Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State: This is an interesting spot because this is a spot where someone could trade up for a quarterback and the Lions could get a nice haul back. The Lions are a team that's in dire need of secondary help after the trading of Darius Slay and Okudah is the best defensive back in the draft, although you can argue they should take Derrick Brown of Auburn due to their need on the interior of their defensive line.

4. New York Giants- Tristian Wirfs, Offensive Tackle, Iowa: The Giants have some options here as they can stay at four and take a lineman or Isaiah Simmons or a possible trade down, which I think the Giants are trying to do.

Tua was the consensus number one overall pick and prospect in this draft before his hip fracture in November and if he proves to stay healthy and is the same guy he was before the injuries, the Chargers land themselves a franchise guy.

7. Carolina Panthers- Derrick Brown, Defensive Tackle, Auburn: The Panthers once had a great defense, but now it looks like a unit that needs reinforcements. Brown is somebody who's rare for his size, but always was a steady player in college and would be a nice building block in Matt Rhule's first draft.

8. Arizona Cardinals- Jedric Wills, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Cardinals could consider Derrick Brown if he's still on the board, but in this scenario he's gone and they take the talented lineman. Wills is someone that could go as high as fourth to the Giants due to his blocking ability and would help keep Kyler Murray upright.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Mekhi Becton, Offensive Tackle, Louisville: The Jaguars have a ton of needs and could go in a numerous number of directions. Here I have them taking the talented lineman in Becton, who has tremendous upside, but has technique flaws. If he fixes his technique, he could certainly help protect whomever starts at quarterback for them.

10. Cleveland Browns- Isaiah Simmons, Linebacker/Defensive Back, Clemson: The Browns do have a need at offensive tackle, but I don't see them passing on Simmons if he falls to this point. Simmons could play anywhere on defense and can play multiple different positions well.

11. New York Jets- Cee Dee Lamb, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: The Jets could go wide receiver to give Sam Darnold a much needed top receiver or take a lineman if one of the ones they like falls to them to protect Darnold. Lamb is someone that has high upside that has great hands, body control, and is a solid route runner.

12. Las Vegas Raiders- Jerry Jeudy, Wide Receiver, Alabama: Jon Gruden is doing back flips as Jeudy falls into his lap. He is a fantastic route runner and many folks have drawn comparisons to Calvin Johnson due to his tremendous upside. He'd certainly turn into Derek Carr's top option.

13. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis Colts)- Henry Ruggs III, Wide Receiver, Alabama: The Niners have some options here and they take the talented receiver. Ruggs is someone that would be a nice fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense with his solid route running and the fact he is clean and does the little things.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Georgia: Thomas was someone I had going as high as fourth, but his stock has dropped a bit possibly due to a flaw he has of incorrect footwork. This would be a win for Tom Brady as the Bucs get him some much needed protection.

15. Denver Broncos- CJ Henderson, Cornerback, Florida: There is a lot of buzz that Henderson could go in the top ten, maybe as high as ninth to the Jacksonville. The Broncos snag the talented corner here to replace the departed Chris Harris Jr and Henderson could start for them right away.

16. Atlanta Falcons- Javon Kinlaw, Defensive Lineman, South Carolina: With Henderson off the board, the Falcons snag Kinlaw, who could be a steal here at this position. Kinlaw is somebody that is super versatile and would help Takkarist McKinney, Gardy Jarrett, and new addition Dante Fowler Jr on that defensive line.

17. Dallas Cowboys- K'Lavon Chaisson, Defensive End, LSU: Edge rush and cornerback are two of the Cowboys biggest needs after Byron Jones and Robert Quinn bolted as free agents. They choose to go with Chaisson to pair along side DeMarcus Lawrence, who is raw but was a sack machine in college.

18. Miami Dolphins (from Pittsburgh Steelers)- Austin Jackson, Offensive Tackle, USC: This pick would be a reach and you can make a case that Jackson could have benefited for returning to school, but he decided to go pro early, which isn't a bad choice necessarily. Jackson is somebody that stood out this past season and could come in and start right away for a team that needs to protect their quarterback at all costs.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Patrick Queen, Linebacker, LSU: Queen is someone that is a super fast riser as the draft comes this week. The Raiders have needs all over their defense and Queen, despite being undersized, he can play three downs and has great speed.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- Kristian Fulton, Cornerback, LSU: This would be a solid pick considering they have a need for a corner considering they dealt away Jalen Ramsey and AJ Boyue within the last six months. Fulton is someone that has size and athleticism and is someone that was always patient as a player.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Kenneth Murray, Linebacker, Oklahoma: The latest buzz is that the Eagles may take a defensive player rather than a wide receiver here, due to the receiver depth in this draft. Murray is someone that is a dynamic playmaker and fill a defensive need for the Eagles.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills)- Jaylon Johnson, Cornerback, Utah: Johnson is one of the fast rising corners as we head closer to the draft. With Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and Mackensie Alexander all gone, the Vikings fill a major need with someone that with his tools would fit nicely in Mike Zimmer's scheme.

23. New England Patriots- AJ Epenesa, Defensive End, Iowa: The Patriots are a bit of a wild card in this draft and could go in many different directions with this selection whether it's a quarterback, a defensive player, or a trade down. Epenesa has shown to be versatile and has great length and athleticism, similar to ex-Patriot and current Lion Tre Fowlers.

24. New Orleans Saints- Jordan Love, Quarterback, Utah State: The Saints have been rumored to first round quarterbacks the past few seasons and here I have them snagging Love to be the longterm replacement for Drew Brees, who a lot of people think is retiring after the 2020 season. Love is one of the biggest boom or bust prospects in the draft and is super raw.

25. Minnesota Vikings- Justin Jefferson, Wide Receiver, LSU: The Vikings snag Jefferson here with their second first rounder to replace Stefon Diggs. Jefferson had a breakout season this past year catching so many passes from Joe Burrow and made big plays when it mattered the most.

26. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)- DeAndre Swift, Running Back, Georgia: The Dolphins have some options with this selection and here I have them taking the talented back. Swift is someone that will come in and be an upgrade over what they currently have and assuming they do address their offensive line with other selections, Swift could really help this offense with his speed and catching ability out of the backfield.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Defensive End, Penn State: Gross-Matos's stock has dropped after being projected to be in the top 15. The Seahawks have a pass rush need assuming they don't bring back Jadeveon Clowney and Gross-Matos would help the cause with his good length and speed.

28. Baltimore Ravens- Zack Baun, Linebacker, Wisconsin: Baun is someone that admitted today that he tested positive for diluted sample, which could hurt his draft stock. The Ravens have a need at the linebacker position and Baun would be a nice fit with his athleticism to drop and cover.

29. Tennessee Titans- Ross Bladlock, Defensive Tackle, TCU: Bladlock is a fast riser as we head closer to the draft in three days. The Titans have a need here with the trading of Jurrell Casey and Bladlock was someone that showed flashes of dominance and is two years removed from an achilles injury.

30. Green Bay Packers- Jordan Brooks, Linebacker, Texas Tech: Brooks is one the fastest risers as the draft approaches this week. Brooks is someone that showed a ton of potential in college and scouts have compared him to Bobby Wagner. The Packers have a need at linebacker with the free agent departure of Blake Martinez so Brooks would be a great pick.

31. San Francisco 49ers- Trevon Diggs, Cornerback, Alabama: Diggs falling this far would be a major steal for the Niners, who have a need at the position. Diggs has shown physicality and imposing length to be a top corner on a team.

32. Kansas City Chiefs- Cesar Ruiz, Center, Michigan: The Chiefs have options with this pick as they can go anywhere on defense or even offensive line. Ruiz is the best interior offensive lineman in this draft and the reigning champions snag him here.

2020 WNBA Mock Draft

Here is my first round mock draft for the 2020 WNBA Mock Draft, which will be held tonight in a virtual style.

1. New York Liberty- Sabrina Ionescu, Point Guard, Oregon: This should be an easy choice for the Liberty here as they select their new face of the franchise after the trading of Tina Charles. Ionescu was all world in college as she was the only player in Division-1 history to have 1,000 points, rebounds, and assists each.

2. Dallas Wings- Satou Sabally, Power Forward, Oregon: Ionescu's teammate goes next to a Wings team that has some young talent there already. Sabally is someone that is versatile and that could space the floor very well. She would be the ideal front court mate for Arike Ogunbowale.

3. Indiana Fever- Lauren Cox, Power Forward/Center, Baylor: The Fever have options here as they have a lot of needs and they snag the big here in Cox. Cox is versatile, she's excels in the paint, has a consistent jump shot, and great footwork. Despite injury issues, she excels on both sides of the ball and would be good front court mate with Teaira McCowan.

4. Atlanta Dream- Chennedy Carter, Point Guard, Texas A&M: Carter is someone that is a high volume scorer and would have an immediate impact in the league. This would be the ideal pick for the Dream, despite some new additions including Courtney Williams, they still have a need for a consistent scorer.

5. Dallas Wings (from Phoenix Mercury)- Ty Harris, Point Guard, South Carolina: With their second first rounder (courtesy of the Skylar Diggins-Smith trade), they take the solid guard with Harris. Harris is a very good facilitator and takes care of the ball very well.

6. Minnesota Lynx- Megan Walker, Shooting Guard/Small Forward, Connecticut: The Lynx snag the talented wing in Walker. Many people think she should have went back to school, but her shooting ability is what makes her an intriguing prospect. Walker in this scenario would be reunited with former college teammate Napheesa Collier.

7. Dallas Wings (from Seattle Storm via Connecticut Sun, Phoenix Mercury)- Bella Alarie, Power Forward, Princeton: This pick has bounced around the league a lot. The Wings land it in result of the Skylar Diggins-Smith trade and help replace her by snagging a solid big in Alarie. People are down on her due to the fact she went to an Ivy League school, but she came into her own with a good skill set despite still having some flaws.

8. Chicago Sky- Crystal Dangerfield, Point Guard, Connecticut: The talented point guard drops to thr Sky, who would gladly take her in this spot. Dangerfield brings good court awareness and leadership and it helps her that she's surrounded by a lot of talented players led by Allie Quigley.

9. New York Liberty (from Las Vegas Aces via Dallas Wings)- Ruthy Hebard, Power Forward, Oregon: It would only be fitting if the Liberty replace Tina Charles with one of the two first round picks they received in the deal with Ionescu's former teammate in Hebard, who she had excellent chemistry with. Hebard is a rebounding machine and excels with scoring in the interior.

10. Phoenix Mercury (from Los Angeles Sparks via Connecticut Sun)- Te'a Cooper, Point Guard, Baylor: The Mercury have options with this pick, which they got in the deal that sent DeWonna Bonner to the Sun. Here I have snagging the point guard in Cooper, who can flat out shoot and gives the Mercury much needed depth and youth at the position.

11. Seattle Storm (from Connecticut Sun)- Beatrice Mompremier, Power Forward/Center, Miami: The Storm are excited as the talented big falls to them at the end of the first round. Mompremier is someone that was held back by a foot injury in college which halted her development. Her strength is her defensive game and her rebounding skills and she could help the Storms second unit.

12. New York Liberty (from Washington Mystics)- Mikiah Herbert-Harrigan, Small Forward, South Carolina: With their final first round pick, the Liberty roll with one of the more underrated players in the draft in Herbert-Harrigan. Herbert-Harrigan is someone that was on a great team in the Gamecocks in college and is a great scorer and would fit nicely with Ionescu.

2020 NFL Mock Draft: Seventh Edition

Here is the seventh edition of my 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, Quarterback, LSU: After what was a breakout season which led to a Heisman Trophy, Burrow emerged as the favorite to go first overall in this upcoming draft. The Bengals want to move on from Andy Dalton and start fresh here with Burrow, who second year coach Zac Taylor could help develop into the franchise quarterback the team is looking for.

2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State: Young is the best player in this draft and he falls one spot due to the Bengals quarterback need. The Redskins need a lot of young talent on both ends of the ball and Young would have an immediate impact in the league chasing the likes of Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Daniel Jones twice a season.

3. Detroit Lions- Jeff Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State: This is an interesting spot because this is a spot where someone could trade up for a quarterback and the Lions could get a nice haul back. The Lions are a team that's in dire need of secondary help after the trading of Darius Slay and Okudah is the best defensive back in the draft, although you can argue they should take Derrick Brown of Auburn due to their need on the interior of their defensive line.

4. New York Giants- Isaiah Simmons, Linebacker/Defensive Back, Clemson: Word is out that the Giants love Simmons and what we learned from the past two drafts that the Giants are not good at pulling off smoke screens, sans rumors they will take a tackle to protect Daniel Jones. Smoke screen or not, this is a logical pick for Big Blue, who need somebody like Simmons on their defense, who can do pretty much everything on defense.

5. Miami Dolphins- Justin Herbert, Quarterback, Oregon: There's always a saying "when there's smoke, there's fire". That feels like the case here as the Dolphins pass on Tua Tagovailoa for Herbert due to the health concerns of Tua, who they loved a year ago. Herbert could have declared last season but stayed at school one more season to try to improve his stock, but I feel that he would have been a first round pick last season too.

6. Los Angeles Chargers- Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback, Alabama: The Chargers take their chances and select Tagovailoa after the Dolphins select Herbert. Tua was the consensus number one overall pick and prospect in this draft before his hip fracture in November and if he proves to stay healthy and is the same guy he was before the injuries, the Chargers land themselves a franchise guy.

7. Carolina Panthers- Derrick Brown, Defensive Tackle, Auburn: The Panthers once had a great defense, but now it looks like a unit that needs reinforcements. Brown is somebody who's rare for his size, but always was a steady player in college and would be a nice building block in Matt Rhule's first draft.

8. Arizona Cardinals- Tristan Wirfs, Offensive Tackle, Iowa: With the Cardinals acquiring DeAndre Hopkins, they turn their focus on the offensive line, where they select Wirfs. He's somebody who could conceivably go as high as fourth due to his stock rising and he could play right away helping Kyler Murray stay upright.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Jedric Wills, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: There are options here for the Jaguars with this selection whether it's improving the offensive or defensive line, the secondary, a receiver, or perhaps a quarterback. Wills is somebody that could go as high as fourth to the Giants due to his blocking ability and would help keep whomever the Jags quarterback is upright.


10. Cleveland Browns- Mekhi Becton, Offensive Tackle, Louisville: The Browns have a need at the opposite tackle position of Jack Conklin and they snag Becton here. Becton is somebody that has tremendous upside, but has some technique flaws which may have some teams weary of him.

11. New York Jets- Henry Ruggs III, Wide Receiver, Alabama: Rugg's stock has absolutely risen of late to the point he could be the first receiver off the board in a draft that's loaded with wideouts and factor in rumors that the Jets love him. Ruggs is exactly the type of player Sam Darnold needs, who can run a solid route and is fast who is very clean.

12. Las Vegas Raiders- Jerry Jeudy, Wide Receiver, Alabama: Jon Gruden is doing back flips as Jeudy falls into his lap. He is a fantastic route runner and many folks have drawn comparisons to Calvin Johnson due to his tremendous upside. He'd certainly turn into Derek Carr's top option.

13. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis Colts)- CeeDee Lamb, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: With Emmanuel Sanders departing in free agency, the Niners suddenly have a need at wide receiver. Lamb is somebody with high upside that has great hands, body control, and is a solid route runner, which will help Jimmy Garappolo.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Georgia: Thomas was someone I had going as high as fourth, but his stock has dropped a bit possibly due to a flaw he has of incorrect footwork. This would be a win for Tom Brady as the Bucs get him some much needed protection.

15. Denver Broncos- CJ Henderson, Cornerback, Florida: There is a lot of buzz that Henderson could go in the top ten, maybe as high as ninth to the Jacksonville. The Broncos snag the talented corner here to replace the departed Chris Harris Jr and Henderson could start for them right away.

16. Atlanta Falcons- Javon Kinlaw, Defensive Lineman, South Carolina: With Henderson off the board, the Falcons snag Kinlaw, who could be a steal here at this position. Kinlaw is somebody that is super versatile and would help Takkarist McKinney, Gardy Jarrett, and new addition Dante Fowler Jr on that defensive line.

17. Dallas Cowboys- Kristian Fulton, Cornerback, LSU: The Cowboys have options here as they must replace departed free agents Byron Jones and Robert Quinn. Here I have them replacing Jones with Fulton, who has great size, athleticsm, and is very clean with the way he plays.

18. Miami Dolphins (from Pittsburgh Steelers)- K'Lavon Chaisson, Defensive End, LSU: Chaisson falls here to the Dolphins as this would be a solid selection here. Chaisson is someone who is raw, but was a sack machine in college.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Jeff Gladney, Cornerback, TCU: Gladney is a super fast riser as we approach the draft in a week as the Raiders surprise people and snag Gladney here. I feel this pick would be a major reach, but he is someone that has the tools to have success in the league.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- Grant Delpit, Safety, LSU: The Jaguars with their second first rounder improve their secondary by selecting the talented safety in Delpit. Delpit is someone that is arguably the most talented safety in this draft class and would be a solid building block for the Jags going forward.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Justin Jefferson, Wide Receiver, LSU: The two biggest needs for the Eagles this offseason were cornerback and wide receiver. With Darius Slay coming in to fill the need at corner, they look to receiver and take the former LSU standout, who showed off his ability to make big plays throughout the season.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills)- Noah Igbinoghene, Cornerback, Auburn: Igbinoghene is someone else that is a fast riser as the draft approaches. I also feel that this would be a reach of a selection although Igbinoghene has great flexibility and movement skills.

23. New England Patriots- Jordan Love, Quarterback, Utah State: With Tom Brady off to the Buccaneers, the current quarterbacks on the Pats roster are Jarred Stidham and Brian Hoyer. Now is the time to look to the future and Love is someone that is very raw and has high upside.

24. New Orleans Saints- Brandon Aiyuk, Wide Receiver, Arizona State: The Saints are another team that has options with their selection. Aiyuk is a receiver that is gaining a ton of traction of late and he would be a nice piece in that offense for Drew Brees to throw passes to along with Michael Thomas and free agent add Emmanuel Sanders.

25. Minnesota Vikings- AJ Epenesa, Defensive End, Iowa: The Vikings have a ton of options with their two first round picks and here I have them replacing free agent Everson Griffin with Epenesa. Epenesa is someone that had good moments in college and due to his great length and athleticism and add the fact he is versatile too.

26. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)- DeAndre Swift, Running Back, Georgia: The Dolphins have some options with this selection and here I have them taking the talented back. Swift is someone that will come in and be an upgrade over what they currently have and assuming they do address their offensive line with other selections, Swift could really help this offense with his speed and catching ability out of the backfield.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Defensive End, Penn State: Gross-Matos's stock has dropped after being projected to be in the top 15. The Seahawks have a pass rush need assuming they don't bring back Jadeveon Clowney and Gross-Matos would help the cause with his good length and speed.

28. Baltimore Ravens- Patrick Queen, Linebacker, LSU: Queen is one of the rapid risers of late in many different peoples mock drafts. The Ravens biggest need is at the linebacker position and Queen will certainly help the cause with his ability to play three downs as well as his speed, although he is undersized.

29. Tennessee Titans- Erza Cleveland, Offensive Tackle, Boise State: Cleveland is someone that is a fast riser of late as the draft gets closer. The Titans have a need at tackle as Jack Conklin departed in free agency and Cleveland is someone that is built like a lineman that could succeed in the league.

30. Green Bay Packers- Jalen Reagor, Wide Receiver, TCU: The Packers have their choice of talented receivers to choose from assuming this is the direction they go. Reagor is somebody that can come in and put up numbers with Aaron Rodgers throwing him passes.

31. San Francisco 49ers- Ross Blacklock, Defensive Tackle, TCU: With their second first rounder, I have the Niners replacing DeForrest Buckner with the fast rising interior defensive lineman. Blacklock is someone that can come in and have an impact right away.

32. Kansas City Chiefs- Trevon Diggs, Cornerback, Alabama: Diggs for one reason or another, stock is dropping. I feel that he can be an impact corner for the reigning champions due to his physicality and imposing length.

2020 NFL Mock Draft: Sixth Edition

Here is the sixth edition of my 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, Quarterback, LSU: After what was a breakout season which led to a Heisman Trophy, Burrow emerged as the favorite to go first overall in this upcoming draft. The Bengals want to move on from Andy Dalton and start fresh here with Burrow, who second year coach Zac Taylor could help develop into the franchise quarterback the team is looking for.

2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State: Young is the best player in this draft and he falls one spot due to the Bengals quarterback need. The Redskins need a lot of young talent on both ends of the ball and Young would have an immediate impact in the league chasing the likes of Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Daniel Jones twice a season.

3. Detroit Lions- Derrick Brown, Defensive Tackle, Auburn: The Lions have options with this pick whether it's a trade down with a quarterback needy team or stay put. I've had Jeff Okudah here for the longest time, but now I'm changing it up. Brown is someone that was very steady in college and he would be a great fit in Matt Patricia's defense.

4. New York Giants- Tristan Wirfs, Offensive Tackle, Iowa: The Giants have some options here as they can go with the versatile defender Isaiah Simmons, improve their offensive line, or possibly trade down for more assets. Here I have them taking the high upside tackle with Wirfs, who is a freak athlete and could play right away and help protect Daniel Jones.

5. Miami Dolphins- Justin Herbert, Quarterback, Oregon: There's always a saying "when there's smoke, there's fire". That feels like the case here as the Dolphins pass on Tua Tagovailoa for Herbert due to the health concerns of Tua, who they loved a year ago. Herbert could have declared last season but stayed at school one more season to try to improve his stock, but I feel that he would have been a first round pick last season too.

6. Los Angeles Chargers- Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback, Alabama: The Chargers take their chances and select Tagovailoa after the Dolphins select Herbert. Tua was the consensus number one overall pick and prospect in this draft before his hip fracture in November and if he proves to stay healthy and is the same guy he was before the injuries, the Chargers land themselves a franchise guy.

7. Carolina Panthers- Jeff Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State: This is a mega steal for the Panthers as the best corner in the draft falls to them. Okudah has major potential to be a shutdown corner in the league and the Panthers have lacked that since they had Josh Norman five years ago.

8. Arizona Cardinals- Jedric Wills, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Cardinals have a lot of needs and here I have them snagging the talented lineman in Wills. He has great movement skills and is great run blocker too and he'd certainly help Kyler Murray and his development.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Mekhi Becton, Offensive Tackle, Louisville: The Jaguars have options here with this pick and are a wild card in this draft. Here I have them taking Becton, has high upside with 
his good movement skills and athleticism, but does have some flaws with his technique.

10. Cleveland Browns- Isaiah Simmons, Defensive Back/Linebacker, Clemson: The Browns are doing backflips as Simmons falls to them, despite the teams need for a tackle. Simmons can play literally anywhere on the defensive side of the ball and can play multiple positions very well.

11. New York Jets- Cee Dee Lamb, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: The Jets have their choice of wide receivers to choose from, assuming that's where they go with this selection. Lamb is someone that has high upside that has great hands, body control, and is a solid route runner, which will help Sam Darnold as his new top receiving target.

12. Las Vegas Raiders- Jerry Jeudy, Wide Receiver, Alabama: Jon Gruden is doing cartwheels as the best receiver in the draft falls to him. He is a fantastic route runner and many folks have drawn comparisons to Calvin Johnson due to his tremendous upside. He'd certainly turn into Derek Carr's top option.

13. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis Colts)- Javon Kinlaw, Defensive Lineman, South Carolina: The Niners could go in a variety of directions here with their first of two first round picks. Here I have them replacing DeForrest Bucker with the versatile Kinlaw, who has great speed, strength, athleticism, and size.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Georgia: Thomas was someone I had going as high as fourth, but his stock has dropped a bit. This would be a major win for Tom Brady as the Bucs get him some much needed protection.

15. Denver Broncos- Henry Ruggs IV, Wide Receiver, Alabama: John Elway is doing jumping jacks as Ruggs falls here to this spot. Ruggs is someone that was overshadowed by Jerry Jeudy in Alabama's offense and he has great speed and runs a solid route. He and Courtland Sutton would make a nice duo for Drew Lock to throw to.

16. Atlanta Falcons- CJ Henderson, Cornerback, Florida: The Falcons have some options here with this selection and they should be thinking defense. Here I have them replacing Desmond Trufant with Henderson, who has high upside and could come in and start immediately.

17. Dallas Cowboys- K'Lavon Chaisson, Defensive End, LSU: Edge rush and cornerback are two of the Cowboys biggest needs after Byron Jones and Robert Quinn bolted as free agents. They choose to go with Chaisson to pair along side DeMarcus Lawrence, who is raw but was a sack machine in college.

18. Miami Dolphins (from Pittsburgh Steelers)- Austin Jackson, Offensive Tackle, USC: This pick would be a reach and you can make a case that Jackson could have benefited for returning to school, but he decided to go pro early, which isn't a bad choice necessarily. Jackson is somebody that stood out this past season and could come in and start right away for a team that needs to protect their quarterback at all costs.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Kristian Fulton, Cornerback, LSU: This would be a solid pick considering they have a need for a corner considering Eli Apple didn't pass his physical. He is someone that has size and athleticism and is someone that was always patient as a player.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- AJ Epenesa, Defensive End, Iowa: As mentioned earlier, the Jaguars are a huge wild card in this draft and could go in many different directions with both their selections. Epenesa has shown to be versatile and has great length and athleticism, similar to ex-Patriot and current Lion Tre Fowlers.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Xavier McKinney, Safety, Alabama: Many Eagles fans will be outraged if this turns into reality due to the fact they desperately need a receiver. This is a deep receiver class and could turn to Day 2 to take one as they land a solid safety here in McKinney, who can do so much on the field and would have an impact in the Eagles secondary.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills)- Jaylon Johnson, Cornerback, Utah: Johnson is one of the fast rising corners as we head closer to the draft. With Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and Mackensie Alexander all gone, the Vikings fill a major need with someone that with his tools would fit nicely in Mike Zimmer's scheme.

23. New England Patriots- Jordan Love, Quarterback, Utah State: With Tom Brady off to the Buccaneers, the current quarterbacks on the Pats roster are Jarred Stidham and Brian Hoyer. Now is the time to look to the future and Love is someone that is very raw and has high upside.

24. New Orleans Saints- Patrick Queen, Linebacker, LSU: Queen is one of the rapid risers of late in many different peoples mock drafts. The Saints biggest need is at the linebacker position and Queen will certainly help the cause with his ability to play three downs as well as his speed, although he is undersized.

25. Minnesota Vikings- Tee Higgins, Wide Receiver, Clemson: With the trading of Stefon Diggs to the Bills, it created a need for a wideout the Vikings replace him with this pick. Higgins is somebody that was one of Trevor Lawrence's top targets at Clemson the last two seasons.

26. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)- Grant Delpit, Safety, LSU: Delpit was somebody that was thought out to be the best safety in this class, but has been supplanted by Alabama's Xavier McKinney. Delpit has the upside to be great and the Dolphins certainly can use someone like him in their secondary.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Defensive End, Penn State: Gross-Matos's stock has dropped after being projected to be in the top 15. The Seahawks have a pass rush need assuming they don't bring back Jadeveon Clowney and Gross-Matos would help the cause with his good length and speed.

28. Baltimore Ravens- Zack Baun, Inside Linebacker, Wisconsin: Baun is someone that admitted today that he tested positive for diluted sample, which could hurt his draft stock. The Ravens have a need at the linebacker position and Baun would be a nice fit with his athleticism to drop and cover.

29. Tennessee Titans- Erza Cleveland, Offensive Tackle, Boise State: Cleveland is someone that is a fast riser of late as the draft gets closer. The Titans have a need at tackle as Jack Conklin departed in free agency and Cleveland is someone that is built like a lineman that could succeed in the league.

30. Green Bay Packers- Jalen Reagor, Wide Receiver, TCU: The Packers have their choice of talented receivers to choose from assuming this is the direction they go. Reagor is somebody that can come in and put up numbers with Aaron Rodgers throwing him passes.

31. San Francisco 49ers- Trevon Diggs, Cornerback, Alabama: Diggs falling this far would be a major steal for the Niners, who have a need at the position. Diggs has shown physicality and imposing length to be a top corner on a team.

32. Kansas City Chiefs- AJ Terrell, Cornerback, Clemson: The Chiefs could go in numerous directions here, but I have them improving their secondary by selecting the Clemson product. Terrell is someone who's big and physical and could be a starter for the reigning champions after some free agency departures.

2020 NFL Mock Draft: Fifth Edition

Here is the fifth edition of my 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow, Quarterback, LSU: After what was a breakout season which led to a Heisman Trophy, Burrow emerged as the favorite to go first overall in this upcoming draft. The Bengals want to move on from Andy Dalton and start fresh here with Burrow, who second year coach Zac Taylor could help develop into the franchise quarterback the team is looking for.

2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State: Young is the best player in this draft and he falls one spot due to the Bengals quarterback need. The Redskins need a lot of young talent on both ends of the ball and Young would have an immediate impact in the league chasing the likes of Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Daniel Jones twice a season.

3. Detroit Lions- Jeff Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State: This is an interesting spot because this is a spot where someone could trade up for a quarterback and the Lions could get a nice haul back. The Lions are a team that's in dire need of secondary help after the trading of Darius Slay and Okudah is the best defensive back in the draft.

4. New York Giants- Tristan Wirfs, Offensive Tackle, Iowa: The Giants have some options here as they can go with the versatile defender Isaiah Simmons, improve their offensive line, or possibly trade down for more assets. Here I have them taking the high upside tackle with Wirfs, who is a freak athlete and could play right away and help protect Daniel Jones.

5. Miami Dolphins- Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback, Alabama: Many people thought at this time seven months ago we'd be writing this selection.... except in the number one spot. Tagovailoa drops to fifth (barring the Dolphins or someone else trading up) obviously due to his hip injury he suffered in November that ended his college career. If he reaches his potential, the Dolphins get a steal here with the guy they've coveted for over a year now.

6. Los Angeles Chargers- Justin Herbert, Quarterback, Oregon: With the Philip Rivers era over, the Chargers look to the draft to draft their quarterback of the future. Herbert is someone that could have declared last season but stayed at school one more season to try to improve his stock, but I feel that he would have been a first round pick last season too.

7. Carolina Panthers- Isaiah Simmons, Linebacker/Defensive Back, Clemson: Simmons falling this far would be a major win for Matt Rhule in his first draft. Simmons is someone that is an absolute stud who can play many positions on the defensive side of the ball and would be a nice piece to build around on defense.

8. Arizona Cardinals- Derrick Brown, Defensive Tackle, Auburn: The last couple mocks I had the Cardinals taking an offensive lineman, but here I'm changing it up. They improve another weakness with the run defense to select Brown, who's rare for his size, but always was a steady player in college.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Jerry Jeudy, Wide Receiver, Alabama: With Derrick Brown off the hoard, the Jaguars go a different direction and take the best wideout in this draft in Jeudy. Whether the Jags are sold on Gardner Minshew as their guy for the future or not, Jeudy would certainly help the cause with his excellent route running, regardless of who's starting under center.

10. Cleveland Browns- Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Georgia: Thomas was someone I had going as high as fourth, but his stock has dropped a little bit. The Browns did add Jack Conklin in free agency to solidify one tackle spot, but if they take Thomas to hold down the other spot, it's a win for Baker Mayfield and the Browns.

11. New York Jets- Jedric Wills, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Jets are in an interesting spot here as they can go wide receiver or offensive line. Here I have them taking Wills, who has great movement skills and is great run blocker too and he'd certainly help Sam Darnold and his development.

12. Las Vegas Raiders- CeeDee Lamb, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: With Jeudy off the board, Jon Gruden gets a nice constellation prize with Lamb. He's someone that has high upside that has great hands, body control, and is a solid route runner, which will help Derek Carr as possibly his new top receiving target.

13. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis Colts)- Javon Kinlaw, Defensive Lineman, South Carolina: The Niners could go in a variety of directions here with their first of two first round picks. Here I have them replacing DeForrest Bucker with the versatile Kinlaw, who has great speed, strength, athleticism, and size.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Mekhi Becton, Offensive Tackle, Louisville: Here I have Becton falling down to the Buccaneers, who they'd gladly take with this pick due to their need to protect Tom Brady. Becton has high upside with his good movement skills and athleticism, but does have some flaws
with his technique.

15. Denver Broncos- Henry Ruggs IV, Wide Receiver, Alabama: John Elway is doing jumping jacks as Ruggs falls here to this spot. Ruggs is someone that was overshadowed by Jerry Jeudy in Alabama's offense and he has great speed and runs a solid route. He and Courtland Sutton would make a nice duo for Drew Lock to throw to.

16. Atlanta Falcons- K'Lavon Chaisson, Defensive End, LSU: Edge rush and cornerback are two of the Falcons biggest needs and here I have them snagging Chaisson to pair alongside new free agent pickup Dante Fowler. Chaisson is somebody that was a sack machine in college and could make an instant impact in the pros.

17. Dallas Cowboys- CJ Henderson, Cornerback, Florida: The Cowboys wouldn't mind Chaisson or Henderson, who would both fill team needs left by free agent departures Robert Quinn and Byron Jones. Henderson is somebody that had a solid season in college this past year and he'll come in and start right away.

18. Miami Dolphins (from Pittsburgh Steelers)- Xavier McKinney, Safety, Alabama: With their second first round pick they received in the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade, the Dolphins take the fast rising safety in McKinney. He is someone that can do a lot on the field and would really help the Dolphins secondary along with new pickup Byron Jones.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Trevon Diggs, Cornerback, Alabama: With the Eli Apple free agent deal falling apart, now the Raiders really need to address the cornerback position. They do so with selecting Riggs, who has shown physicality and imposing length to be a top corner on a team.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- Jordan Love, Quarterback, Utah State: The Jaguars surprise here with this selection and take Love, removing the narrative that this team is tanking this season for Clemson's Trevor Lawrence. Some scouts think he could be a poor mans Patrick Mahomes due to his live arm and mobility skills.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Justin Jefferson, Wide Receiver, LSU: The two biggest needs for the Eagles this offseason were cornerback and wide receiver. With Darius Slay coming in to fill the need at corner, they look to receiver and take the former LSU standout, who showed off his ability to make big plays throughout the season.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from Philadelphia Eagles)- Tee Higgins, Wide Receiver, Clemson: With the trading of Stefon Diggs to the Bills, the Vikings replace him with the first round pick they received in that trade. Higgins is somebody that was one of Trevor Lawrence's top targets at Clemson the last two seasons.

23. New England Patriots- AJ Epenesa, Defensive End, Iowa: With Jordan Love off the board and no other realistic quarterback options from this spot, the Pats go defense and take Epenesa to improve their pass rush. He has shown to be versatile and has great length and athleticism, similar to ex-Patriot and current Lion Tre Fowlers.

24. New Orleans Saints- Patrick Queen, Linebacker, LSU: Queen is one of the rapid risers of late in many different peoples mock drafts. The Saints biggest need is at the linebacker position and Queen will certainly help the cause with his ability to play three downs as well as his speed, although he is undersized.

25. Minnesota Vikings- Kristian Fulton, Cornerback, LSU: With Xavier Rhodes released and Mackensie Alexander and Trae Waynes departed, the Vikings address the need here with a solid choice here with Fulton. He is someone that has size and athleticism and is someone that was always patient as a player.

26. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)- Josh Jones, Offensive Tackle, Houston: The Dolphins take the fast rising tackle to replace Laremy Tunsil, who was traded away for this draft pick before last season. He has great movement as well as the length and feet to succeed in the league after being a starter for four seasons in college.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Yetur Gross-Matos, Defensive End, Penn State: Gross-Matos's stock has dropped after being projected to be in the top 15. The Seahawks have a pass rush need assuming they don't bring back Jadeveon Clowney and Gross-Matos would help the cause with his good length and speed.

28. Baltimore Ravens- Kenneth Murray, Inside Linebacker, Oklahoma: With a stout defensive line in front of him, Murray would be in an ideal situation here in Baltimore. The Ravens have yet to address the inside linebacker position in free agency and he would be a solid fit here with his ability to tackle and range.

29. Tennessee Titans- Austin Jackson, Offensive Tackle, USC: You can make a case that Jackson could have benefited for returning to school, but he decided to go pro early, which isn't a bad choice necessarily. Jackson is somebody that stood out this past season and could come in and start right away for a team that needs to protect Ryan Tannehill at all costs, replacing the departed Jack Conklin.

30. Green Bay Packers- Denzel Mims, Wide Receiver, Baylor: The Packers don't have any scary threats at wide receiver other than Davante Adams and Mims would certainly help them, despite his somewhat inability to run after catch. He would certainly be their second option at receiver if he was the choice here.

31. San Francisco 49ers- Noah Igbinoghene, Cornerback, Auburn: The 49ers throw a somewhat curveball here and select the fast rising corner in Igbinoghene. With Richard Sherman getting older and he along with two other corners on the roster set to be free agents after the season, they get someone that has great flexibility and movement skills.

32. Kansas City Chiefs- AJ Terrell, Cornerback, Clemson: The Chiefs could go in numerous directions here, but I have them improving their secondary by selecting the Clemson product. Terrell is someone who's big and physical and could be a starter for the reigning champions after some free agency departures.
