Daniel Jeremiah's 2020 Mock Draft 1.0

NFL Draft Analyst Daniel Jeremiah posted his first mock draft of the 2020 NFL Draft season last week. It's a bit early seeing as two of the league's teams are still involved in the 2019 season. The demand is always high for mock drafts and Jeremiah is one of the best draft analysts in the business. I highly recommend the Move the Sticks podcast that he does with Bucky Brooks. Here's Jeremiah's 2020 Mock Draft 2.0. As a Minnesota Vikings fan I wish that it was the real deal.

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

It's still so early in the process. A lot will change between now and April. From Daniel Jeremiah's first shot at a mock it looks like the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft will be dominated by the big schools. There's a lot of Alabama, LSU, and Clemson. That shouldn't be a surprise as one of those three schools has won the last five national titles.

At least Jordan Love should be around to give the smaller schools some love.

Speaking of love, I'd love to see Javon Kinlaw available to the Vikings at #25. Who knows, maybe Kinlaw has a drop like the one that Sharrif Floyd had in 2013.

At this early stage of the draft process the following players are my favorites for the Vikings.

Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State
Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
Isaiah Simmons, S, Clemson
Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina

It's a shame that it would take a minor miracle for any of the four to make it out of the Top 10. Simmons might be my favorite player in the draft.

The mock draft season has started.
