My first 2020 Mock Draft

[7DnBrnc53]

A FEW QUICK FA and TRADE PREDICTIONS:

Tom Brady: Las Vegas Raiders. I just have a hunch. He won a game against Jon Gruden with a bad call 19 years ago, and now he’s gonna play for him.

Phillip Rivers: Indianapolis Colts. He worked with Frank Reich from 2013-15 in San Diego.

Teddy Bridgewater: Chicago Bears.

Marcus Mariota: Seattle Seahawks. Russell Wilson needs a better backup than Geno Smith.

Darius Slay: Traded to Dolphins for first round (18th overall), second round (39th overall) and 2021 fourth-rounder.

Stefon Diggs: Traded to Jets for second-round pick (48th overall) and fourth-round pick (108th overall).

2020 NFL DRAFT: ROUND ONE

1. CINCINNATI: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
Don’t see a trade happening.
2. WASHINGTON: Chase Young, DE, Ohio St.
Miami could try to move up, but it is unlikely because Tua should fall to them.
3. DETROIT: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio St.
Immediate replacement for Darius Slay.
4. N.Y. GIANTS: Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
Both tackle positions are in doubt (RT Remmers is a FA, and LT Solder is inconsistent. He also will be 34 and a FA in 2022).
5. MIAMI: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
The Dolphins are all over this guy. They stopped tanking once he got hurt. He could sit behind Fitzpatrick for a year, and in 2021, he will get the ball.                                                                                              6. SAN ANGELES: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
With Tyrod Taylor on top of their depth chart, Herbert may be thrown into the fire early.
7. CAROLINA: Isaiah Simmons, OLB, Clemson
In their move back to a 4-3, he can slide into the WILL position (he also could play SS. FS Tre Boston is FA, and Eric Reid used to play there).
8. ARIZONA: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
Cards get a steal in Brown, who could go much higher. Also, Cards have uncertainty up front with several FA’s.
9. JACKSONVILLE: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
Dynamic player can provide them with a true #1 at the position.
10. CLEVELAND: Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
Browns get another elite Thomas at LT.
11. N.Y. JETS: Mekhi Becton, LT, Louisville
Lots of  FA’s on the Jets O-line, particularly at LT.
12. LAS VEGAS: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
Lamb is an excellent route runner with good hands. Also, no Raider WR had 50 catches last season.
13. INDIANAPOLIS: Tristan Wirfs, OL, Iowa
This may be Anthony Castonzo’s last year. Also, they have some other FA’s on the O-line in 2022 (Glowinski & Braden Smith).
14. TAMPA BAY: Javon Kinlaw, DE, South Carolina
Kinlaw was the best football player at the Senior Bowl practices.
15. DENVER: Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama
The speedy Ruggs gives Denver a strong 1-2 WR Punch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             16. ATLANTA: D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
Falcons seem to be done with Freeman, and can replace him with Swift, who has a lot of tread on his tires.
17. DALLAS: Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
Cowboys have three FA’s at safety, and McKinney can fill either position.
18. DETROIT (via MIA thru PIT): Grant Delpit, S, LSU
Lions get two secondary upgrades on Day 1.
19. LAS VEGAS (from CHI):  Kenneth Murray, OLB, Oklahoma
Raiders have been needy at LB for a while, and they get help with the athletic Murray, who was co-defensive freshman of the year in the Big XII.
20. JACKSONVILLE (from LA RAMS): C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida
Jags traded Ramsey, and Bouye could be gone as well.
21. PHILADELPHIA: Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
Eagles will undergo massive overhaul at the position.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   22. BUFFALO: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
Bills take advantage of deep class to get help for John Brown and Cole Beasley.
23. NEW ENGLAND: Zach Baun, LB, Wisconsin
The versatile Baun is a good fit for the Patriots.
24. NEW ORLEANS: Shane Lemieux, G, Oregon
Peat is a FA this year, and Warford is up next year.
25. MINNESOTA: K’Lavon Chiasson, DE/OLB, LSU
The versatile Chiasson has too much upside to pass up here. Also, the Vikings have a couple FA’s at DE (Everson Griffen and Stephen Weatherly).
26. MIAMI (from HOU):  Austin Jackson, OT, USC
They use the pick acquired for Laremy Tunsil to get his replacement.
27. SEATTLE: Josh Jones, OT, Houston
A position of need, and the Seahawks have a knack for drafting second and third round prospects on Day 1 (see L.J. Collier and Rashaad Penny).
28. BALTIMORE: Yetur Gross-Matos, OLB/DE, Penn St.
Matt Judon is a FA, and they have lost guys like Za’Darius Smith and Terrell Suggs recently.
29. TENNESSEE: AJ Epenesa, DE/OLB, Iowa
Versatile player can provide help for Titans at 3-4 DE and OLB.
30. GREEN BAY: Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin
The powerful and athletic Wisconsin center can replace Corey Linsley by next year (when Linsley is a FA).
31. SAN FRANCISCO: Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M
Madubuike was a disruptive force inside for the Aggies.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               32. KANSAS CITY: Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio St.
A somewhat controversial pick, but Damon has the talent to go this high, and Andy Reid doesn’t seem to care about character.

ROUND TWO

33. CINCINNATI: Solomon Kindley, G, Georgia
34. INDIANAPOLIS (from WAS): Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
35. DETROIT: Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU
36. N.Y. GIANTS: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
37. SAN ANGELES: Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
38. CAROLINA: Gabriel Davis, WR, UCF
39.

46. DENVER: Cameron Dantzler, CB, Miss. St.
47. ATLANTA: Patrick Queen, LB, LSU
48. MINNESOTA (from NYJ): Jordan Love, QB, Utah St.
49. PITTSBURGH: Julian Okwara, OLB, Notre Dame
50. CHICAGO: Logan Sternberg, G, Kentucky

I doubt the Lions will even get a second rounder for Slay. You have the dolphins giving up a 1st, 2nd and 4th? Worst trade in history and we didn’t even move from 5th to 3rd in first round?

the remaining three selections are good but give us a edge rusher or corner with 18 and a running back with 39.

 

[Chops013]

Can’t see the Jags going WR at 9. If 1-8 fall that way then I see the Jags going Kinlaw or OL.

[Swampbilly]

OK, I like your picks for the Dolphins, but there is NO WAY the Phins give up a 1st rounder and an early 2nd rounder plus a future 4th rounder for a CB ( we are in a rebuild LOL )…..Especially not in a draft loaded with CB talent.  That's the kind of move a perennial playoff team makes, a team that feels they are one or two players away from a Super Bowl run...…. Like the Rams with Ramsey.

I'm guessing maybe you didn't think this move through, maybe you just saw the Phins have the pics and will throw them away.  Now this might be something the Phins would do if it were to swap 1st round picks 5 for 3 and Slayton...….Otherwise it's just wishful thinking for Detroit fans LMAO!!!

I think that tooooooo much. Slay is a great player, but that's to much for a CB of his age that wants a new deal with probably 15M per year to be traded.

[Nick_gb]

While I appreciate you looking at our 2021 Free Agents and feeling that depth on the OL and not an immediate impact pick with our 1st round selection is more beneficial to the Packers in their "win now" mode. However, I'm going to respectfully disagree. Thanks for the work you did put in though!

[flyguy1609]

if the lions got that offer for slay they would take it in a heartbeat. id go with AJ Epenesa at 18 for det. that would be a huge get for the lions

 

[gizmo2012]

Packers picking an OC and OT in the first 2 rounds is no going to happen. They have 2 good centers now and Linsley will get resigned.  WR or ILB in R1 and yes OT in R2.

If we are looking at the way the Dolphins used to run things in the past I could see this actually happening. However with the way the organization is being run now there is no way we would give up this much for Slay. He is a great CB but we can draft a CB at 18 that will cost less and be younger as well. Sorry just don't see this happening in the real world.

[Cutler06]

Where's Mims ??? Don't see him dropping out of the 2nd and behind WR Gabe Davis , who is way too high IMO

[scar988]

Falcons going RB in the 1st doesn't make sense at all. TD hasn't taken a back before the 3rd round.

[The Gnat]

Solid Vikings picks, I would say, I don't think they'll trade Diggs, at least not for that amount.

[badgers0821]

Lemieux is not a first rounder. 
Packers going heavy OL with first two picks doesn’t make much sense, WR has to be one of those two.

[mlucas12002]

Wow...horrific trade for Slay, and Jordan Love dropping to the mid-2nd round? Pretty awful, and that's not even mentioning Cleveland taking a WR in the 2nd.

Where as i fully agree with this and im almost 1000% sure it won't happen unless we do a trade down in the mid to late 20's   if you look at the next 2 picks we loaded up pretty dang well as Queen is a legit 1st round guy that might be in play for us early lol.   So we realistically got 2 1st round guys and a really good guy in Lewis at lb.

 

Although if we do this draft i say you replace Lewis at OLB with gallimore at DT as he would imo help us more and is a much more talented player than lewis.  W ewould then be getting 3 1st round players that fit needs in Swift, Queen, and Gallimore.    Theirs no doubt though Swift won't go at 16 and no RB in this draft will or should go before say 23 to 25 their talented but not elite level talented to go as high as our pick. 

So with the trade down i imagine we would do to take Swift if that is indeed our pick in round 1 we would probably pick up a extra 2nd round pick then we can do this draft.

Pick 25 or so via trade down - Swift - RB
2a - Queen - LB
2b - Gallimore - DT
2C - Lewis DE/LB

That would be a massive haul for us and is highly acceptable although i don't see any of Queen or Gallimore making to our picks in the 2nd round as he has done in his mock they are likely 1st round guys but in this scenario i'll take it all day long and would gladly on draft day with the trade down that would have to happen for us to take swift in the 1st.

Best part is if the vikings really wanted Chassion they would have to come through us to get him im pretty sure of and for us to pass on chassion we would be asking for their 2nd round pick if not more.  Vikings take Chassion at 16 where his value is and we take Swift at 25 where his value is and get a 2nd atleast to do so.
