The 2020 NFL Draft is now SIX days away. Unfortunately, we do not have normal weekend activities to distract you for a few of those days. Hopefully you will find all the NFL Draft content you could possibly desire at CBSSports.com. Time is winding down but we explore a few more scenarios that could take place next week. Philadelphia moves up to secure a receiver while the 49ers trade down twice to take a few more bites at the apple.
Without further adieu, let's kick this off!
NFL Mock Draft
Round 1
Round 1 - Pick 1
The Bengals do not bungle. They ignore a tantalizing offer from Miami and select Burrow, who is not going to shy away from a challenge. If he truly wants to help southeast Ohio, then he is within striking range and making a direct impact.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 2
Washington decides that the trade offers are not enough to justify passing on a talent like Young. Their defensive line is loaded with former first-round picks.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 3
Detroit replaces Darius Slay with a younger, cheaper player. It may not better them immediately but it gives them more flexibility in the long run.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 4
New York adds a mobile big man that can slide into the right tackle role seamlessly with the capability of playing left tackle in the future.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 5
Miami's smokescreens work as Tagovailoa falls to them at No. 5 overall. They can use their remaining 13 picks to move around and add some quality players to the roster.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 6
The Chargers wanted Tua Tagovailoa but were not willing to move up for him. They are not sold on Justin Herbert so they address the defense with the selection of Isaiah Simmons. Their defense becomes the most versatile in the country with Desmond King, Derwin James and Simmons.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Carolina adds a stout body to their interior defensive line. Brown can disrupt action at the point of attack.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 8
Arizona needs a right tackle and Wills has played on that side dating back to high school in Lexington, Kentucky. He is a foundational piece to that Cardinals roster.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 9
I'm not convinced that Jacksonville trusts Gardner Minshew as their starter. If the coaching staff and front office are comfortable in their roles, then they would be fools to pass up this opportunity.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 10
Murmurs are growing that Thomas may not be available for the Browns to select here. There are also murmurs that Cleveland could trade down if that were to happen. Figure that out yourselves because he is on the board here and I'm taking him.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 11
I remain convinced that New York will address their offensive line before they swing back around to add some playmakers at wide receiver. Becton is the best option on the board.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 12
Mike Mayock loves players from championship-caliber programs. He can trust Jeudy. I am beating a dead horse at this point but it just adds up.
| |||
From
Indianapolis Colts
Round 1 - Pick 13
San Francisco watched as speed beat them in the Super Bowl so they add a speedster of their own in the form of Ruggs.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 1 - Pick 14
Jacksonville watched as Justin Herbert fell into their laps at No. 8 overall. With their second pick, they get aggressive and move up to secure another need on their roster. The Buccaneers add No. 73 overall to move down.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 15
Denver recognizes the value of Henderson midway through the first round and nabs him before Dallas. John Elway adds another brick to that defensive foundation.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Atlanta Falcons
Round 1 - Pick 16
Reasonably speaking, one of those top three wide receivers could fall a little bit and it is clear that the Eagles need another dynamic pass catcher. The Falcons add No. 103 overall and a future fourth-round pick.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 17
Dallas lands a valuable player in their secondary. McKinney brings versatility and a long-term plan at the position.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 18
Murray is going to be an A+ member of any team's locker room and his activity level will elevate everyone around him.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 19
Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock are able to take one Clemson cornerback and slide them in next to another Clemson cornerback that they drafted last year.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 1 - Pick 20
Tampa Bay misses out on the top four offensive tackle targets so they slide back a bit to nab the fifth best.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 1 - Pick 21
Atlanta may have their eyes on a cornerback but, in this scenario, they were able to move back and pick up some additional draft capital while still getting another pass rusher.
| |||
From
Buffalo Bills
Round 1 - Pick 22
Minnesota is able to replace Stefon Diggs with the fourth-best wide receiver in this draft class. Jefferson carries a first-round grade and would be an immediate impact player for the Minnesota offense.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 23
Epenesa is a great value for the Patriots at this stage of the first round. He is being undervalued recently but New England will not overlook what he has been able to produce.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 24
Queen to New Orleans should be a popular pick. It is a need for the team and it happens to coincide with the value of the player.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 25
It may come as a surprise to see Minnesota not take a cornerback but Gallimore is a better player than the remaining options at cornerback. He can bring a spark to that Vikings defense.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 1 - Pick 26
Miami lands a big addition to their offensive line. They have pieced out the unit over the past few years so Cleveland will step in and learn as a starter Day 1. Operation keep Tua upright is underway.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 27
Seattle accounts for the potential loss of Jadeveon Clowney by drafting his replacement. Gross-Matos is a strong player with quick hands. He needs to refine his trade a bit though.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 28
Aiyuk is another explosive option for Lamar Jackson in the passing game. The thought is that Baltimore would target a bigger wide receiver because they already have Marquise Brown but I am not sure that is actually true.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 29
Chinn has a chance to land in Round 1. Tennessee would be a good option considering Mike Vrabel's control of the defense and his understanding of how to use Chinn effectively.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 30
Green Bay is starting to build up their interior defensive line with the addition of Blacklock, who is a sound, consistent producer.
| |||
Mock Trade from
San Francisco 49ers
Round 1 - Pick 31
San Francisco and Indianapolis facilitate another deal this offseason as this one brings a first-round pick back to the Colts. They get a long-term replacement for Philip Rivers. Chris Ballard's job is not in jeopardy so he can afford to make a move with the future in mind. The 49ers receive No. 122 and No. 34.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Adding a cornerback here would surprise no one. It is a big need for Kansas City. Offensive line would be a possibility here as well.
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 2
Round 2 - Pick 1 (33)
Cincinnati is finally investing in their offensive line after allowing Eric Steinbach, Kevin Zeitler and Andrew Whitworth to walk in free agency over the years. It started a year ago with Jonah Williams and continues with Wilson.
| |||
Mock Trade from
San Francisco 49ers
Round 2 - Pick 2 (34)
The 49ers move down again. This time, they acquire No. 42, No. 107 and No. 165 overall. Jacksonville selects Johnson to replace A.J. Bouye and Jalen Ramsey.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 3 (35)
Detroit snags a first-round caliber player at the top of the second round. Their new look secondary now features Okudah and Delpit.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 4 (36)
The pick is Josh Uche right now. Depending on which one of my editors gets to the first could be interesting. One of my editors is a Giants fan and I know he's not a big fan of this pick.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 5 (37)
Los Angeles added Bryan Bulaga and Trai Turner this offseason. Both were welcomed additions but now they add their left tackle of the future in the form of Jackson.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 7 (39)
Miami is loading up this year. Their offense will look much different, which is a good thing.
| |||
From
Arizona Cardinals
Round 2 - Pick 8 (40)
Houston continues to add early round picks to their cornerback room.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 9 (41)
In all honesty, the board did not fall in a way that benefits the Browns. They get a really good player to man the right guard position as well as provide insurance at center.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 2 - Pick 10 (42)
Fulton needs to improve upon his tackling and is known to get too handsy downfield. However, his talent tests off-the-charts and San Francisco will have no problem finding a role for him.
| |||
From
Las Vegas Raiders
Round 2 - Pick 11 (43)
Hunt has Pro Bowl potential as an interior offensive line prospect. He played right tackle for the Ragin' Cajuns last season.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 12 (44)
Indianapolis lands a bit of length and insurance to their receiver room. They are too one-dimensional when T.Y. Hilton is off the field.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 13 (45)
Edwards-Helaire is the perfect compliment for Tom Brady from an athletic and work ethic standpoint.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 14 (46)
Denver did not land one of the promising pass catchers in the first round but they stay in-state to land one of the best with the ball in his hands.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 15 (47)
Atlanta lands a really athletic cornerback to their secondary. Igbinoghene will give them some physicality on the back end.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 16 (48)
New York gets a wide receiver in the second round to pair with Sam Darnold. I would imagine they are not done at this position...
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 17 (49)
The Steelers replace Javon Hargrave with a former 5-star recruit. Elliott has really matured, which was evident on the football field. He has active hands and can apply pressure up the middle.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 18 (50)
Davis is a smart player that can organize the defense on the back end in Chicago. He has track traits that translate.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 20 (52)
The Rams replace Todd Gurley with Wisconsin's Taylor. He needs to minimize the fumbles but he offers the explosive presence that Los Angeles had come to expect from Gurley.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 21 (53)
Lewis has tremendous upside and can grow in that Philadelphia defense with Jim Schwartz.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 22 (54)
Another week's mock, another pick of Weaver to the Bills.
| |||
From
Atlanta Falcons
Round 2 - Pick 23 (55)
Dobbins is explosive and should provide a spark to that Baltimore offense. They get a long-term replacement for Mark Ingram.
| |||
From
New Orleans Saints
Round 2 - Pick 24 (56)
Pittman will be another valuable contributer to the locker room and a reliable presence for Tua Tagovailoa.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 2 - Pick 25 (57)
The Rams add some edge rush ability after losing Dante Fowler Jr. in free agency. Some believe that Davidson has first-round level ability.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 26 (58)
Hall was supposedly given a clean bill of health so clear the runway for his liftoff. Minnesota desperately needs corners after losing Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 27 (59)
Niang shores up the right side of Seattle's offensive line. They begin investing more in the unit.
| |||
