2020 NFL Mock Draft: 2-round projection
By Geoff Shull
The offseason is into full swing. We’re just one week away from the scouting combine. So why not another NFL mock draft? Here is our latest guess at what will happen.
Over the next few weeks and months the draft landscape is bound to change dramatically between the combine, free agency, and trades. I have spent weeks sifting through all the NFL teams’ needs and rumors what I believe to be the most accurate NFL mock draft out there. It’s not uncommon for teams to leak false information to try and sway other organizations away from their preferred players.
The first two picks
1. Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB
This has almost been written in permanent ink marker at this point. Joe Burrow has shown to have the X factor that every team dreams of having at the helm. His football IQ is off the charts, his accuracy is pinpoint perfect and he has displayed sufficient enough power to get the ball where it needs to go.
2. Washington Redskins: Chase Young, DE
The argument could be made that Young is a better player than Burrow, and to be honest I would agree with this reasoning. That being said Young ends up being picked second simply due to the importance of positions, and the quarterback being a bigger point of emphasis. Young has all the tools to be dominate from day 1. He plays with great power, exceptional anticipation and even better technical skills. This is a slam dunk for Ron Rivera’s Redskins.
