2020 full 1st-round mock draft after the start of free agency
By Nick Ellis
1. Cincinnati Bengals: QB, Joe Burrow, LSU
There is no doubt that the Cincinnati Bengals will select Joe Burrow with the first pick of the NFL Draft, as he was the clear best quarterback in college football last year. This is a team looking to move on from Andy Dalton, and they do so here by selecting Burrow.
2. Washington Redskins: Chase Young, Egde, Ohio State
Rumors are surfacing about the Washington Redskins not being happy with Dwayne Haskins at quarterback, but Chase Young is too special of a talent to pass up on here. New head coach Ron Rivera is a defensive genius, and in Young, he would be getting the kind of special talent he needs to start the rebuild in our Nation’s Capital.
3. Los Angeles Chargers: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
The Los Angeles Chargers did not get Tom Brady in free agency, so they trade up with the Detroit Lions to make sure they get their franchise quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama. There are rumors swirling that the team could be in the market for Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, but even if they do bring him in, Tua does not slip past them at No. 3.
4. New York Giants: Tristan Wirfs, OL, Iowa
The New York Giants have built a strong, young offensive core in the last two drafts, drafting running back Saquon Barkley in 2018, and quarterback Daniel Jones in 2019. With the No. 4 overall pick, they grab arguably the best offensive tackle in this draft class, adding Tristan Wirfs from Iowa, who dominated the NFL Scouting Combine.
