The NFL draft order is complete and the commencement of the event is in less than a month as currently scheduled. It won't take place in Las Vegas as originally intended, but some much needed distraction should be provided to all of us over the course of three days.
In an effort to occupy your attention even further, I made every selection for all 32 teams across seven rounds. Now, before a trade that will shake up the landscape of the entire league takes place, let's kick this off!
Jump to a specific round in the mock draft
NFL Mock Draft
Round 1
Round 1 - Pick 1
Cincinnati and Burrow are less than a month away from officially uniting. He should be the face of the franchise for quite some time. The objective for the rest of the 2020 NFL Draft is to surround him with talent.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 2
The addition of Kyle Allen signals that Washington might be more comfortable sticking at No. 2 overall and taking Young rather than venturing down the path of Tua Tagovailoa. They form one of the better pass rush units in the NFL.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 3
After trading away Darius Slay, cornerback is a need for Detroit despite adding Desmond Trufant. Isaiah Simmons and Derrick Brown could be in play here as well, but Okudah seems like the safest bet.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 4
Dave Gettleman knows that he will likely have to replace Nate Solder in 2021, so the idea of replacing two offensive tackles in one offseason is off-putting. He takes his chance to secure one of the best now rather than punting and becoming desperate next year.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 5
Miami could take Tua Tagovailoa or Herbert realistically. In this scenario, they select the latter. Herbert is a big-armed quarterback capable of providing a spark to a recently dormant franchise.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 6
Los Angeles sticks to its word and does not add a veteran quarterback. Instead, the Chargers take the rookie from Alabama. Tyrod Taylor saw a similar situation play out a few years ago when Cleveland selected Baker Mayfield.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Carolina replaces Luke Kuechly with Simmons. He will be tasked with tracking down the likes of Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Tom Brady in the NFC South -- a loaded list of household quarterback names.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 8
Arizona felt comfortable locking up left tackle D.J. Humphries but there remains a gap at right tackle. Wills should solidify the right side and protect Kyler Murray for years to come.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 9
Jacksonville added Joe Schobert to a front seven going through a serious transformation. It is unknown whether or not Yannick Ngakoue will return. The addition of Brown will not only soften the blow but also boost interior disruption.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 10
Cleveland gets its left tackle of the future. The Browns selected a Thomas who played offensive tackle in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft; that career ended with Hall of Fame credentials. The hope is that a similar fate awaits the franchise.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 11
New York makes sense as a potential trade partner for Trent Williams. The Jets missed out on re-signing Robby Anderson, so wide receiver must be addressed. If the Jets pony up for Williams now, it frees them up to make a splash, Lamb, at No. 11 overall.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 12
Las Vegas seems content with Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota battling it out at quarterback. Jeudy is a technician with a championship pedigree, which is something that was worth its weight in gold to Mike Mayock a year ago.
| |||
From
Indianapolis Colts
Round 1 - Pick 13
In an ideal world, Lamb or Jeudy would still be on the board, but that is not the case. Ruggs is fast but also runs crisp routes. He gives Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo another weapon down the field.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 14
Tampa Bay runs the risk of missing out on one of the top offensive tackles by standing pat at No. 14 overall. However, it works out for Bruce Arians and Tom Brady here.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 15
Denver acquired Jurrell Casey but has otherwise undergone significant changes at the positions. Kinlaw can be a staple and a part of the long-term plan for the Broncos. His presence will benefit Bradley Chubb and Von Miller.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 16
Atlanta signed Dante Fowler Jr., which may not pan out as hoped. In any case, they supply some additional pass rush on the other side by selecting Chaisson in the first round.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 17
Dallas lost Byron Jones and needs to find a replacement. Henderson is regarded as the consensus No. 2 cornerback prospect. He offers an ideal frame and big play-making ability.
| |||
From
Pittsburgh Steelers
Round 1 - Pick 18
Miami needs to focus on adding the best talent available with each selection. It is the quickest way to bridge the gap with other teams. The free agent signings suggest that they are no longer rebuilding and intend to compete now. Murray is an active linebacker capable of covering sideline-to-sideline.
| |||
From
Chicago Bears
Round 1 - Pick 19
The Raiders need to bolster their interior defensive line. Epenesa has the capability to play there alongside Clelin Ferrell and Maxx Crosby.
| |||
From
Los Angeles Rams
Round 1 - Pick 20
Jacksonville does not need a safety immediately but McKinney can transition into that role in the future. For the time being, he makes for an elite nickel similar to Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Jaguars continue to add pieces in order to fill out a modern-day NFL defense.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 21
Philadelphia missed out on Robby Anderson so they must focus their draft assets on the position. Jefferson has great body control and is capable of winning downfield. His ability after the catch ranks highly among his class.
| |||
From
Buffalo Bills
Round 1 - Pick 22
Everson Griffen is gone and suddenly there is a vacancy across from Danielle Hunter. Gross-Matos will not blow anyone away with his athleticism but he is a strong prospect who knows how to win at the point of attack.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 23
New England selects a wide receiver from Arizona State in the first round for the second consecutive year. Although N'Keal Harry did not produce as expected in Year 1, his potential is vast. The two can usher in Jarrett Stidham and the new look Patriots offense.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 24
Queen does not need to go far to join his new team. He is a rangy linebacker who can raise the level of competition while delivering some game-changing plays at the same time.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 25
Minnesota has allowed multiple key cornerbacks to leave in free agency. The Vikings must be comfortable with the options available to them through the draft. Fulton needs to improve upon his tackling as well as technique down the field. He is known to get too handsy.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 1 - Pick 26
Jones is Miami's response to an offseason that saw them lose not one, but two starting offensive tackles. If they want to keep their rookie quarterback upright, they will need to protect him as he learns to process a quicker game.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 27
Josh Gordon has not worked out. D.K. Metcalf looks like a solid player, but Seattle can really open up that offense with Higgins. Higgins and Metcalf drawing coverage with Tyler Lockett working underneath is pretty potent.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 28
Baltimore did well to add Calais Campbell but they need to build out that linebacker unit. There has been some speculation that Matt Judon might still be on the trade block. In any case, they already lost Patrick Onwuasor and need some starter level talent.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 29
Terrell would allow Adoree Jackson to move back into the slot. The Titans would be in a good position moving forward with good depth on the back end.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 30
Green Bay lost Jimmy Graham then went all in on Austin Hooper, but could not get a deal done. In the first round, they add a young tight end that can grow and be a part of the organization for a long time.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 31
It is unclear how long Joe Staley will continue playing. San Francisco could follow a similar model as Philadelphia a year ago: bring in a young offensive tackle and allow him to learn from one of the game's best until he is ready to take over. It would provide the 49ers with some much needed salary cap space going forward.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Kansas City does not spend on running backs, right? Winning the Super Bowl is like getting a big raise at work, you feel the need to splurge and buy something that you may not traditionally purchase.
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 2
Round 2 - Pick 1 (33)
Ruiz offers some flexibility to play guard or center. Cincinnati has gone through its interior offensive linemen like toilet paper recently. It is time to get some long-term solutions in the building.
| |||
From
Washington Redskins
Round 2 - Pick 2 (34)
Indianapolis punted on its wide receiver need when they traded out of the first round. Mims can provide some height and downfield ability, which should create more opportunity for T.Y. Hilton.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 3 (35)
Detroit has not done much right over the past few years, but landing Okudah and Gallimore to start the draft is a home run.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 4 (36)
New York drafted Deandre Baker and signed James Bradberry so it may opt for another position here. However, Baker's rookie play was a little discouraging.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 5 (37)
Los Angeles traded away Russell Okung. After signing Bryan Bulaga, trading for Trai Turner and drafting Tua Tagovailoa, adding a left tackle seems like the most logical next step.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 6 (38)
Matt Rhule loves athletic traits and Delpit has plenty to develop. No Eric Reid, no problem in Carolina.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 7 (39)
It might come as a surprise to see Edwards-Helaire this early but, after watching him again for the running backs traits series, there is nothing not to like. He does everything well and is the kind of player that you want in your locker room.
| |||
From
Arizona Cardinals
Round 2 - Pick 8 (40)
Shenault is limping through the pre-draft process but there are still quality athletic traits. Houston needs some new blood at wide receiver after trading DeAndre Hopkins.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 9 (41)
Cleveland needs to add some competition at defensive tackle. Larry Ogunjobi, Andrew Billings and Sheldon Richardson are a talented trio but there are no sure-fire producers.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 10 (42)
Jacksonville publicly committed to Gardner Minshew when it traded Nick Foles, but it might be a bit misguided. Love offers the franchise so much more potential as the starting quarterback.
| |||
From
Las Vegas Raiders
Round 2 - Pick 11 (43)
Chicago adds some length at the cornerback position in the absence of Prince Amukamara.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 12 (44)
Indianapolis can have its cake and eat it too. Philip Rivers was signed to a one-year deal, which would be perfect to bring along another young quarterback.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 13 (45)
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 14 (46)
Denver commits to its interior offensive line with the addition of Cushenberry. The objective is to protect Drew Lock.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 15 (47)
Igbinoghene has elite athletic traits. Atlanta could use some help in the secondary after releasing Desmond Trufant.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 16 (48)
New York has been looking to add a pass rush for quite some time. Okwara has an ideal frame and upside.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 17 (49)
Pittsburgh lands one of my personal favorites. He played right tackle last season, but his upside as an interior player is exciting.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 18 (50)
Muti is a stud when healthy. His medical history is a bit scary, but he is the best interior offensive line prospect in this class when available.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 19 (51)
Dallas added Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who went from rising star to journeyman veteran in no time. Winfield has NFL genes and has been the talk of the league since the NFL combine.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 21 (53)
Lewis offers Philadelphia length on the edge. He has all of the tools to be dominant, but still has to show that he can put it all together.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 22 (54)
For the longest time, I mocked Weaver to the Bills in the first round because I felt he was the ideal replacement for Jerry Hughes. I still believe that but it comes a round later.
| |||
From
Atlanta Falcons
Round 2 - Pick 23 (55)
Dobbins is stout and springy similar to Mark Ingram. Baltimore's core of talent is young and Dobbins would fit right into what it hopes to do on offense.
| |||
From
New Orleans Saints
Round 2 - Pick 24 (56)
Miami addressed the left side with Josh Jones in the first round. In the second round, the Dolphins add a right tackle in Wilson.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 25 (57)
Houston keeps taking a chance on these former first-round picks but it has not paid off. The addition of Gladney could go a long way in solving the team's cornerback issue.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 26 (58)
Michael Pittman Jr. would be a great compliment to Adam Thielen. Mike Zimmer holds good route-runners in high regard. Pittman will show up to work and produce from Day 1. With an NFL pedigree, teams know what they are getting with him.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 27 (59)
Seattle needs to add some pass rush in the second round. The hope is that L.J. Collier moves forward in his development, but until Jadeveon Clowney makes his decision, Seattle cannot leave the fate of their season in the hands of that occurrence.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 28 (60)
Biadasz can play guard or center. Baltimore may need both at this stage. He is a boulder on the interior offensive line.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 29 (61)
Niang was once projected as a first-round pick but an injury has pushed him down a bit. Tennessee gets its potential replacement for Jack Conklin in Round 2.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 30 (62)
Bowden reminds me a lot of Randall Cobb. He is listed as a quarterback and played the position for Kentucky last year, but that was out of necessity. His best traits translate to running back and wide receiver. Matt LaFleur will pull the potential out of him.
| |||
From
San Francisco 49ers
Round 2 - Pick 31 (63)
I think Hall's injury and the lack of availability to do testing during the COVID-19 crisis will impact his stock. Kansas City could be the beneficiary in the second round.
| |||
From
Kansas City Chiefs
Round 2 - Pick 32 (64)
Seattle addresses its offensive line in the second round. Tega Wanogho can play left or right tackle depending on the future of Duane Brown.
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 3
Round 3 - Pick 1 (65)
Cincinnati has built an expensive but talented defensive line. The Bengals need to add some pieces behind those players. Zuniga can step in and supply some pass rush on the edge.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 2 (66)
Washington got rid of Quinton Dunbar and Josh Norman so it is ushering in a new age with Ron Rivera. Dantzler can be a part of that plan.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 3 (67)
Taylor is a fantastic player but his carry share and fumbling tendencies are a bit of a concern. If those are removed, he is a first-round pick.
| |||
From
New York Giants
Round 3 - Pick 4 (68)
New York continues building its wide receiver room with a little more speed. The work does not stop just because they added CeeDee Lamb.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 5 (69)
Arnette can step in and fill the void left by James Bradberry. The former was a bit overshadowed by Jeff Okudah last season.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 6 (70)
The former five-star recruit has high upside. He has shown growth with each year and his future is exciting.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 7 (71)
Los Angeles got rid of Travis Benjamin but gain some speed underneath from Hamler, who can also contribute in the return game.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 8 (72)
Arizona's offense is really coming along with Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, Kenyan Drake, D.J. Humprhies, Jedrick Wills and Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals turn some of their attention to defense, where Harrison awaits them.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 9 (73)
Trautman showed that he belongs at a higher level when he performed at the Reese's Senior Bowl. Jacksonville removes a Band-Aid for a long-term solution. A tight end is a young quarterback's best friend.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 10 (74)
Cleveland has a pretty good roster right now but there are a few trouble spots that it could upgrade: linebacker and safety. Gay is a really good player.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 11 (75)
Eric Ebron out. Harrison Bryant in. Philip Rivers has targeted Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry a lot through his career.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 12 (76)
Tampa Bay adds some pass rush across from Shaq Barrett. In the event that Barrett moves on next offseason, the Buccaneers have a contingency plan.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 13 (77)
Henry Ruggs III was gone before Denver came on the clock in the first round. The Broncos add a personal favorite, Duvernay, at wide receiver. He is a really controlled, reliable option underneath Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 14 (78)
The transfer portal worked for Jackson. He went from Rutgers and being a little known lineman to one of the nation's best interior offensive players.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 15 (79)
George Fant is one of the team's starting tackles and Peart could take over a starting spot before long.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 16 (80)
Dugger is a versatile piece who could play safety or linebacker.
| |||
From
Chicago Bears
Round 3 - Pick 17 (81)
No, not that Lamar Jackson. This Jackson shadows receivers well.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 18 (82)
Dallas has Blake Jarwin but also have Bryant now. Those two will be asked to pick up Jason Witten's leadership now that he is in Las Vegas.
| |||
From
Pittsburgh Steelers
Round 3 - Pick 19 (83)
Hennessy is a technically sound lineman. Denver has a starter now in the absence of Matt Paradis.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 20 (84)
Los Angeles was desperate along the interior offensive line a year ago. Harris can start immediately.
| |||
From
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 3 - Pick 21 (85)
Burgess is a physical, rangy safety. He spent a lot of time in the box and made his presence felt.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 22 (86)
Pride and Amik Robertson are my favorite slot cornerbacks. They can start for a long time. Buffalo has their replacement for Kevin Johnson, who signed with Cleveland.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 23 (87)
New England may like Jarrett Stidham but they add a player who has proven to be capable of picking up an offense quickly.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 24 (88)
Jared Cook has been great in the short run but Hopkins is a big-time, long pass-catching tight end. New Orleans is surrounding Drew Brees with talent.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 25 (89)
The Josh Kline experiment ended as quickly as it started. Minnesota needs to grow stronger in the trenches.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 26 (90)
Houston has lost a lot of their pass rush recently while the rest is aging quickly. Taylor is a really productive player on the edge.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 3 - Pick 27 (91)
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 28 (92)
Peoples-Jones is one of the most athletically-gifted wide receivers in this class. Baltimore took a player by the name of Breshad Perriman under the same context so they might be a bit afraid to go down that path again.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 30 (94)
Kelley has the capability to be an every-down back. He does everything well and is said to be a strong locker room presence.
| |||
From
San Francisco 49ers
Round 3 - Pick 31 (95)
Denver adds some pass rush in the event that Bradley Chubb cannot stay healthy again.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 32 (96)
There has been some trade interest in Chris Jones. While it may not materialize this offseason, there is reason to believe that Jones could eventually move on unless the team signs him to a long-term extension.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 3 - Pick 33 (97)
Cleveland adds two linebackers to compete with the players signed in free agency as well as the two drafted last year. The Browns are addressing some big needs.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 34 (98)
New England gets another versatile linebacker prospect after losing Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins in free agency.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 35 (99)
Kareem can supply some pass rush on the edge for the Giants. They sorely need some.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 36 (100)
New England delves into the tight end pool finally. Okwuegbunam has a lot of potential that was not necessarily brought to the surface in an anemic Mizzou offense.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 37 (101)
Seattle likes those Alabama interior defenders so they bring in another to stick next to Jarran Reed. Davis is a strong human being.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 38 (102)
Pittsburgh adds some size to its wide receiver room with the addition of Julio Jones lite.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 39 (103)
Jefferson is a sound route-runner who creates separation for himself.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 40 (104)
Driscoll has played right tackle for Auburn in recent years. He could go a long way in solving Los Angeles' long-term offensive tackle issue.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 41 (105)
Minnesota allowed Mackensie Alexander to walk in free agency. The Vikings land a nickel replacement in the third round.
| |||
Round 3 - Pick 42 (106)
Baltimore continues to add girth along its interior defensive line.
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 4
Round 4 - Pick 1 (107)
Claypool offers size to account for the potential eventual departure of A.J. Green.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 2 (108)
 
Ben Bartch
OL
NFL Draft
• Sr
• 6'6"
/ 315 lbs
Bartch brings his odd Gatorade protein concoction to the nation's capital.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 3 (109)
Detroit adds some depth to the interior offensive line. Simpson offers some versatility.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 4 (110)
Edwards has been a productive wide receiver. New York offers another outlet to Daniel Jones.
| |||
From
Miami Dolphins
Round 4 - Pick 5 (111)
Houston adds yet another corner. The Texans hope to come out of the offseason with a respectable unit. They have taken several shots at the position in recent years.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 6 (112)
Stenberg is a mean-mugging soil toiler. He will churn his feet in the run game and create running lanes for Austin Ekeler.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 7 (113)
Adams has not quite regained the form that he showed a few years ago. He is a high-risk, high-reward player. The Panthers are taking a chance on the positive.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 8 (114)
Damien Lewis makes a positive impression on everyone that he is around. He should gel quickly in that Arizona locker room.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 9 (115)
It may come as a surprise to see Davis still on the board. Davis could be one of the players impacted most by a lack of traditional medical testing during the COVID-19 crisis.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 10 (116)
Bassey could be a really good slot cornerback in Jacksonville, who desperately needs to add after trading away A.J. Bouye and Jalen Ramsey.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 11 (117)
Fromm could eventually take over for Tom Brady in Tampa Bay.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 12 (118)
Holmes has a lot of upside and has received a lot of positive buzz in recent months.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 13 (119)
Evans opened eyes with his 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine. He is really solid prospect that could lighten the load for Todd Gurley.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 14 (120)
Robinson is a late riser because of his potential. The following may worry Jets fans, but he has some similarities to Trumaine Johnson.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 15 (121)
Bredeson is an anchor. He has a stout frame and connects well with his tackle and center.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 16 (122)
Dotson was a consistent producer for the Ragin' Cajuns. He is a technician in the run game for the Colts.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 17 (123)
Dallas continues to add safety help. A weakness could become a strength in one offseason.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 18 (124)
Pittsburgh has been so strong along the offensive line for years, but the unit started to show some cracks in 2019.
| |||
From
Chicago Bears
Round 4 - Pick 19 (125)
Johnson is a baller. He just knows how to make plays without blowing anyone away with his athletic ceiling.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 20 (126)
Benjamin is very explosive and provides in the pass game. He needs to work on his drops and fumbling tendencies.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 21 (127)
Wallace provides some depth in Philadelphia's secondary in the absence of Malcolm Jenkins.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 22 (128)
Vaughn was boom or bust last season. It felt as though he was taking it to the house or getting stopped in the backfield on every play with no in-between.
| |||
From
New England Patriots
Round 4 - Pick 23 (129)
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 24 (130)
Teddy Bridgewater is gone so Sean Payton takes a chance on a roller coaster of a quarterback from the Big Ten.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 4 - Pick 25 (131)
The Arizona defensive tackle group will not strike fear in anyone. Lawrence should compete immediately.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 26 (132)
Stone is a great player looking for an opportunity. The long-term futures of Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris could soon be in flux in Minnesota.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 27 (133)
Davis has speed to burn. He is really quick but also a ball of clay that will need to be continually molded.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 28 (134)
One of the standouts from the Reese's Senior Bowl finds an ideal landing spot in Baltimore. The Ravens know how to develop front-seven players.
| |||
From
Miami Dolphins
Round 4 - Pick 29 (135)
Pittsburgh replaces Javon Hargrave with a player who offers a lot of versatility inside or outside. It is shaping up to be a good draft for the Steelers.
| |||
Round 4 - Pick 30 (136)
|
