Charles Davis' 2020 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

Here's a brief break from the free agency madness. Another mock draft.

I first became aware of Charles Davis during the 2007 NFL Draft when he gave a very positive update of Adrian Peterson's rehab of his college collar bone injury. I've enjoyed his analysis and insights ever since. His never-ending pop culture references are an added bonus. I look forward to his mock drafts. This is his first of the mock draft season.

1.   Cincinnati Bengals-Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
2.   Washington Redskins-Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
3.   Detroit Lions-Chase Young, Edge, Ohio State
4.   New York Giants-Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
5.   Miami Dolphins-Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
6.   Los Angeles Chargers-Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
7.   Carolina Panthers-Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
8.   Arizona Cardinals-Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa
9.   Jacksonville Jaguars-Isaiah Simmons, S, Clemson
10. Cleveland Browns-Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
11. New York Jets-Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State
12. Las Vegas Raiders-CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
13. Indianapolis Colts-Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina
15. Denver Broncos-Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
16. Atlanta Falcons-K'Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU
17. Dallas Cowboys-Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
18. Miami Dolphins (from Steelers)-C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida
19. Las Vegas Raiders (from Bears)-Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Rams)-Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
21. Philadelphia Eagles-Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
22. Buffalo Bills-Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
23. New England Patriots-Zack Baun, LB, Wisconsin
24. New Orleans Saints-Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama
25. Minnesota Vikings-Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU
26. Miami Dolphins (from Texans)-D'Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
27. Seattle Seahawks-A.J. Epenesa, Edge, Iowa
28. Baltimore Ravens-Patrick Queen, LB, LSU
29. Houston Texans-Josh Jones, OT, Houston
30. Green Bay Packers-Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado
31. San Francisco 49ers-Grant Delpit, S, LSU
32. Kansas City Chiefs-Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin

It's interersting that Davis' first mock doesn't include:

Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
Austin Jackson, OT, USC
Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

Those players stand out for the simple fact that they are among my favorites for the Vikings. I doubt that any of them fall all the way to the 58th pick. But one can dream. A first two round draft haul of Ross Blacklock and any of the above three would be beautiful.
