OFN NFL MOCK DRAFT

Here is a look at our mock draft for the 2020 season broken down into four parts and starting with picks, one through eight.

This mock is based on what we feel each team will do – without trades – thanks to countless hours of research, interviews with top analysts/insiders and more.

The secondary options are basically a second mock draft scenario.

Make sure to tune in to our draft preview reports including for Carolina, Detroit, Miami and New York.

FIRST ROUND MOCK DRAFT (1-8)

1 Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow, LSU

Option 2 QB Joe Burrow, LSU

Lock and load.

2 Washington DE Chase Young, Ohio State

Option 2 DE Chase Young, Ohio State

With all the talk of trading up to get a top QB, one must wonder whether the Redskins will get a deal they cannot turn down for Young. He is that good.

3 Detroit DT Derrick Brown, Auburn

Option 2 CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State

Both the defensive line and backfield are equally in need of talent. But since it all starts up front, we will go with Brown over Okudah.

4 New York OT Mekhi Becton, Louisville

Option 2 OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa

By now, you should be aware of G.M. Dave Gettleman’s affinity for large football players, no matter the position. He shocked everyone last year by going with Daniel Jones, so why should we be shocked if he took Becton? The Giants are so desperate for offensive line help that I just cannot see them passing on one for Isaiah Simmons.

5 Miami OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa

Option 2 OLB Isaiah Simmons, Clemson

After speaking with Dolphins analyst, Alain Poupart, I am sold the team will end up waiting past their first draft pick to land a quarterback. Especially since they have the capital to move back up and take either a sliding Tua or Jordan Love.

6 Los Angeles QB Justin Herbert, Oregon

Option 2 QB Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama

With the move to a new stadium and a dire need at quarterback...

7 Carolina CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State

Option 2 DT Derrick Brown, Auburn

I feel the same about the Panthers the way I do with Detroit.

8 Arizona OLB Isaiah Simmons, Clemson

Option 2 OT Andrew Thomas, Georgia

Even after re-signing left tackle D.J. Humphries, the Cardinals need more talent up front, but if Simmons falls here, I think the Cards will pounce.
