As usual, no trades are projected. Be sure to check out Walter Football for more mock drafts.
1. Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
2. Washington – Chase Young, EDGE, Ohio State
3. Detroit Lions – Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
The Lions could be a major turning point in the draft. Widely projected to trade down or take Jeff Okudah, I’ve had a nagging feeling the Lions have been set on Derrick Brown. While the combine numbers were disappointing, Brown has made a living bullying SEC offensive linemen.
4. New York Giants – Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
There’s consensus on the top four tackles it seems, but the order could vary by team. Why not gamble on the prospect from this tight group whose home run scenario is the strongest?
5. Miami Dolphins – Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
“Tank for Tua” comes to fruition.
6. Los Angeles Chargers – Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
The Chargers continue to improve their offensive line and, for now, set up Tyrod Taylor for success as their 2020 starter.
7. Carolina Panthers – Isaiah Simmons, S/LB, Clemson
8. Arizona Cardinals – Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
9. Jacksonville Jaguars – Jeff Okudah, DB, Ohio State
10. Cleveland Browns – Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa
11. New York Jets – CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
12. Las Vegas Raiders – Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
We may learn for sure Thursday whether or not Derek Carr is the Raiders’ guy long term. In 2021, cutting Carr would net Vegas over $19M in cap savings with only $2.5M in dead money.
13. San Francisco 49ers (from Colts) – C.J. Henderson, DB, Florida
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina
15. Denver Broncos – Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama
16. Atlanta Falcons – Josh Jones, OT, Houston
17. Dallas Cowboys – Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
The Cowboys strengthen a strength here, with Jeudy joining Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup.
18. Miami Dolphins (from Steelers) – Ezra Cleveland, OT, Boise State
With a new franchise quarterback in hand, the Dolphins look to improve the offensive line with their second first rounder.
19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Bears) – Kristian Fulton, DB, LSU
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Rams) – K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE, LSU
21. Philadelphia Eagles – Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
22. Minnesota Vikings (from Bills) – Jaylon Johnson, DB, Utah
23. New England Patriots – Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE, Penn State
24. New Orleans Saints – Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor
25. Minnesota Vikings – Cesar Ruiz, OL, Michigan
26. Miami Dolphins (from Texans) – Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia
The Dolphins double down on tackles to better protect their new quarterback and—especially in Wilson’s case—open up more holes in the run game.
27. Seattle Seahawks – A.J. Terrell, DB, Clemson
Terrell really seems to fit the Seahawks corner mold and fills a need.
28. Baltimore Ravens – Patrick Queen, LB, LSU
29. Tennessee Titans – Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU
30. Green Bay Packers – Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
31. San Francisco 49ers – Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
32. Kansas City Chiefs – Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
Taylor would be a frightening addition to the Chiefs’ offense.
