It’s (virtual) Draft Day! The 2020 installment of ‘Spring Christmas’ will undoubtedly be a unique experience for all — from league executives to casual observers. Enjoy the process.

1. Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB. LSU

• Pedestrian junior campaign. Possibly the best individual season by a quarterback in college football history as a senior. Burrow is a risk worth taking for Cincy.
–

2. Washington Redskins: Chase Young, DE. Ohio State

• The draft’s premier defender, at a premium position, in a phenomenal defensive class. Don’t think too hard.
–

3. Detroit Lions: Jeff Okudah, CB. Ohio State

• Time’s running out on Matt Patricia. With Darius Slay gone, further reinforcement on the boundary is required.
–

4. New York Giants: Tristan Wirfs, OT. Iowa

• Big Blue has its pick of the talent-rich tackle class. Wirfs possesses the most upside of the bunch.
–

5. Miami Dolphins: Justin Herbert, QB. Oregon

• Ideal size, mobility and arm — Herbert comes without the durability concerns Tua does. Miami refused to fold in 2019 and it’ll use this opportunity to secure a quarterback.
–

6. Los Angeles Chargers: Tua Tagovailoa, QB. Alabama

• The Rivers Era is over and who knows if the Bolts will have an opportunity to land a passer of Tua’s caliber next year. Less pressure to rush him back if they genuinely like Tyrod Taylor as a stop-gap.
–

7. Carolina Panthers: Isaiah Simmons, LB. Clemson

• Kuechly’s retirement leaves a void and Simmons enters the NFL with a particularly rare skill-set.
–

8. Arizona Cardinals: Jedrick Wills, OT. Alabama

• After conceding 50 sacks last year, the best way to supplement the development of Offensive Rookie of the Year Kyler Murray is to provide him with edge protection.
–

9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Derrick Brown, DT. Auburn

• Run defense was abysmal last season and Brown is a legitimate three-down tackle. An injection of talent is suddenly required on D.
–

10. Cleveland Browns: Andrew Thomas, OT. Georgia

• If a trade for Trent Williams isn’t on the cards, Thomas represents the most pro-ready option among this year’s tackle class.
–

11. New York Jets: Austin Jackson, OT. USC

• Darnold’s flashed, but Gang Green must prioritize supporting him in some capacity. Jackson is an ascending prospect with terrific athleticism and left tackle attributes.
–

12. Las Vegas Raiders: C.J. Henderson, CB. Florida

• Long, press-man boundary corner with the ability to shade inside if required. The corner need is clear and Mayock has his pick of the litter at this spot.
–

13. San Francisco 49ers: Jerry Jeudy, WR. Alabama

• The NFC Champion 49ers can pick somewhat luxuriously thanks to a neatly built roster, but one item lacking in the tool kit is a receiver who can take the top off a defense.
–

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mekhi Becton, OT. Louisville

• An imposing figure, Becton ideally slots in at right tackle — which might be Tampa Bay’s last remaining primary need on offense.
–

15. Denver Broncos: Ceedee Lamb, WR. Oklahoma

• Lamb suitably supplements the continued development of both Lock – by providing additional weaponry – and Courtland Sutton – by relieving added attention from the young Pro Bowler.
–

16. Atlanta Falcons: K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE. LSU

• End? Linebacker? Doesn’t really matter. Chaisson is disruptive and if Dimitroff tried tempting Washington for Chase Young at No. 2, pass rush is the priority.
–

17. Dallas Cowboys: A.J. Terrell, CB. Clemson

• Byron Jones is now in Miami and the Tigers’ long, lanky boundary cover corner plays a complete game.
–

18. Miami Dolphins: Joshua Jones, OT. Houston

• With or without the QB early on, there’s a need to improve edge protection. Jones is physically imposing and was brilliant in 2019.
–

19. Las Vegas Raiders: Henry Ruggs III, WR. Alabama

• Another player from the 2019 Natty, huh? Ruggs has tremendous speed and his downfield ability adds a new (and sorely needed) element.
–

20. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevon Diggs, CB. Alabama

• After dealing A.J. Bouye away and seeing a free agent deal with Darqueze Dennard collapse, cornerback must be addressed early. Ball skills + upside.
–

21. Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Reagor, WR. TCU

• An electric passing game option, Reagor satisfies the need for an injection of speed at the position. I’ve been enamored with his game since 2017.
–

22. Minnesota Vikings: Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE. Penn State

• Danielle Hunter is a bona fide star, but help is needed in the wake of Everson Griffen’s departure. ‘YGM’ is a prototype edge in the Mike Zimmer mold.
–

23. New England Patriots: Javon Kinlaw, DT. South Carolina

• In what would be a fortuitous scenario, New England could benefit immediately from Kinlaw’s imposing dimensions and interior disruption ability.
–

24. New Orleans Saints: Patrick Queen, LB. LSU

• Signing Emmanuel Sanders left linebacker as arguably the primary need. Queen, a Louisiana native, may remind some of prime Jonathan Vilma.
–

25. Minnesota Vikings: Jaylon Johnson, CB. Utah

• Spielman & Co. are nearly staring over at the cornerback position and Johnson’s a terrific athlete and ultra-competitive in man.
–

26. Miami Dolphins: Xavier McKinney, DB. Alabama

• I’m skeptical Miami makes all three picks, but after addressing offense earlier McKinney’s versatility replenishes what was lost when Minkah Fitzpatrick was traded.
–

27. Seattle Seahawks: A.J. Epenesa, EDGE. Iowa

• Rest assured John Schneider will trade this pick. But in a mock scenario, Seattle’s so-far balked at Jadeveon Clowney’s asking price and edge depth is lacking. He runs a slow 40, but Epenesa is ‘game.’
–

28. Baltimore Ravens: Kenneth Murray, LB. Oklahoma

• Murray boasts impressive overall size and his tape is evidence that he’s a tackle factory. Besides, Baltimore never properly replaced C.J. Mosley.
–

29. Tennessee Titans: Jeff Gladney, CB. TCU

• Plays larger than his diminutive size would suggest and his inside-outside versatility should only further endear him to Vrabel’s Titans.
–

30. Green Bay Packers: Justin Jefferson, WR. LSU

• Time’s running out on Aaron Rodgers. The Pack’s receiver depth is a myriad of limited complementary options.
–

31. San Francisco 49ers: Cesar Ruiz, OG/C. Michigan

• Assuming John Lynch wants to make two picks, much can be done to prep for the near future. Ruiz is an ideal fit in Shanahan’s zone-blocking scheme and has experience at guard.
–

32. Kansas City Chiefs: Ross Blacklock, DT. TCU

• I expect a trade out here, but should the Chiefs stand pat Blacklock provides insurance for GM Brett Veach if things deteriorate with Chris Jones.
