Despite still having a 2019 game to play, it appears that we've hit mock draft season. Seeing as some maniacs post mock drafts throughout the year I suppose that it's always mock draft season. For me, when Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks, and a few others start posting mocks it's mock draft season. I posted Jeremiah's first mock draft a few days ago. It's only right that I turn some attention to his Move The Stick podcast partner and fellow draft analyst. Brooks is a former NFL player and scout. He has a unique perspective. Here's his first mock draft of the 2020 NFL Draft.
1. Cincinnati Bengals-Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
2. Washington Redskins-Chase Young, Edge, Ohio State
3. Detroit Lions-Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State
4. New York Giants-Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
5. Miami Dolphins-Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
6. Los Angeles Chargers-Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
7. Carolina Panthers-Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
8. Arizona Cardinals-Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
9. Jacksonville Jaguars-Isaiah Simmons, S, Clemson
10. Cleveland Browns-Tristan Wirfs, OG, Iowa
11. New York Jets-Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
12. Las Vegas Raiders-CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
13. Indianapolis Colts-Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina
15. Denver Broncos-Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
16. Atlanta Falcons-K'Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU
17. Dallas Cowboys-Henry Ruggs III, WR, 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-Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado
22. Buffalo Bills-A.J. Espenesa, Edge, Iowa
23. New England Patriots-Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
24. New Orleans Saints-Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
25. Minnesota Vikings-Grant Delpit, S, LSU
26. Miami Dolphins (from Texans)-D'Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
27. Seattle Seahawks-Yetur Gross-Matos, Edge, Penn State
28. Baltimore Ravens-Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
29. Houston Texans-Marlon Davidson, Edge, Auburn
30. Green Bay Packers-Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
31. Kansas City Chiefs-Curtis Weaver, Edge, Boise State
32. San Francisco 49ers-A.J. Terrell, CB, Clemson
I wouldn't be surprised if the Minnesota Vikings take a swing at a quarterback early in this draft. If they sign Kirk Cousins to a contract extension before the draft, I don't think they will pick a quarterback early. If they don't sign Cousins to an extension I think that quarterback could be an early pick, even a first round pick. If Jordan Love is anywhere near the Vikings' 25th pick, as he is in this mock, it'll be tempting to make a move to get him. Brooks also has Washington quarterback Jacob Eason available at 25.
As has been the case for about a decade, Alabama players will get a lot of attention in this first round. Brooks has six Tide players being selected in his first mock draft.
Vikings safety Anthony Harris is currently on track to become a free agent in March. It's likely that his re-signing is the team's top priority of the offseason. If he's re-signed, Grant Delpit will be the team's first pick only if he can also play on the offensive line.
Mock Drafts are here!
