The 2020 NFL Draft is less than two weeks away! There has never been a year that carries more intrigue than the present. Teams are trying to navigate the technological and personnel challenges of working from home. In CBS Sports' latest two round mock draft, we broach some new trade ideas and try to fill some holes for each of the league's teams.
Without further adieu, let's kick this off!
NFL Mock Draft
Round 1
Round 1 - Pick 1
Burrow and the Bengals unite for what they hope is a long, fruitful marriage.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Washington Redskins
Round 1 - Pick 2
Los Angeles gets aggressive in their attempt to secure a franchise quarterback. Tyrod Taylor watches on as history repeats itself. The Chargers surrender No. 6 overall and a 2021 first round pick to seal the deal.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 3
Young is the top prospect in the draft so the Lions welcome his slide. They need an immediate impact player, which is exactly what the pass rusher provides.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 4
The Giants invested heavily into the linebacker position this offseason. They did not do so with the intention of taking the position at No. 4 overall. Wirfs is a slam dunk.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 5
The third quarterback prospect falls to Miami. Time will tell if they are the beneficiaries of other teams making the decision for them.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Los Angeles Chargers
Round 1 - Pick 6
Washington is able to add some draft capital and slide back to grade a defensive difference maker. They actually have a pretty solid defensive line so this has the greatest impact on their front seven.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Carolina was faced with a decision between Isaiah Simmons and Brown but Simmons was already off the board. They are happy to take their imposing interior defender.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 8
Arizona needs a right tackle. Wills has locked down that side since joining the Alabama football program as a freshman.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 9
Jacksonville is able to replace Jalen Ramsey with a similarly graded player. They did not anticipate Okudah being on the board at this pick.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 10
Cleveland added their right tackle, Jack Conklin, in free agency so now they address the left side through the draft.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 11
The Jets desperately need wide receiver help but it is a deep class. They move to a key contributor at another position of need before heavily investing in the wide receiver position with later picks.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 12
Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock love players from championship programs because they come in with expectations to win. CeeDee Lamb and Jeudy come in with similar grades but Las Vegas knows they can count on the pass catcher from Tuscaloosa.
| |||
From
Indianapolis Colts
Round 1 - Pick 13
San Francisco gets Ruggs to operate with Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. The offense is opened up with speed and mismatch problems across the board.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 1 - Pick 14
Philadelphia watches as the draft's arguable top receiver slides down the board. They take matters into their own hands by moving up. The deal is No. 21, No. 53 and a future 7th round pick in exchange for No. 14, No. 117 and No. 161.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 15
Denver was hoping to add a dynamic piece to their offense but that option was taken from them. Instead, they revamp their interior defensive line.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 16
The Falcons were pass rush deficient last season. The addition of Dante Fowler Jr. does not solve their problems. By adding Chaisson, they have a few players capable of applying some pressure.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 17
Dallas lands the draft's No. 2 cornerback to replace Byron Jones, who was handsomely paid by the Dolphins.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Miami Dolphins
Round 1 - Pick 18
Jacksonville does not want to risk losing out on a sliding Love so they trade up a few spots. It costs them No. 20, No. 141 and No. 173 overall. It is a small price to pay for a potential franchise quarterback.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 19
Las Vegas returns to the well for another ex-Tiger. Terrell slips into that Raiders secondary alongside for Clemson cornerback Trayvon Mullen.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 1 - Pick 20
Miami locked up Devante Parker but that will not impress Justin Herbert. They need more pass production than just the one year wonder.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 1 - Pick 21
Tampa Bay was able to slide back, pick up some additional draft capital and add a talented tackle prospect to protect Tom Brady's blindside.
| |||
From
Buffalo Bills
Round 1 - Pick 22
Minnesota adds some pass rush to account for the loss of Everson Griffen.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 23
New England gets bigger, faster and stronger along their defensive line. The Patriots take advantage of a good player unnecessarily falling.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 24
In several previous simulations, Queen was not on the board for New Orleans' pick. In this instance, they have their choice between Kenneth Murray and Queen. It is an ideal outcome for the NFC South franchise.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 25
Murray is the best player on the board. Minnesota will probably have to make some changes at the linebacker level soon for the health of their long-term cap space.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 1 - Pick 26
Miami lands a left tackle for Justin Herbert late in Round 1. Cleveland's public awareness began at the NFL combine and has continued to rise.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 27
Seattle starts planning for the future a bit with the addition of Austin Jackson. He can replace Duane Brown at left tackle immediately or begin at right tackle and eventually flip over.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 28
Baltimore lands another dynamic piece to their offense for Lamar Jackson. Aiyuk has big-play ability.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 30
Green Bay adds a tall receiver for Aaron Rodgers. They need to surround him with talent in the twilight of his career.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 31
San Francisco rejuvenates their interior defensive line with the addition of Gallimore. Relying upon Solomon Thomas to develop seems like an unnecessary risk.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Ruiz fortifies the interior offensive line for Kansas City. They should address the secondary and running back in the near future.

NFL Mock Draft
Round 2
Round 2 - Pick 1 (33)
After parting with Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati adds Joe Burrow's soon-to-be best friend.
| |||
From
Washington Redskins
Round 2 - Pick 2 (34)
Indianapolis adds another weapon for Philip Rivers. He has a reliable set of hands and a big body that presents mismatches down the field.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 3 (35)
Detroit adds to its secondary after landing Chase Young in Round 1. McKinney is arguably the top safety prospect in the draft.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 4 (36)
New York gets some much pass rush help to compete with Oshane Ximines.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 5 (37)
The Chargers replace one Badger running back with another.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 6 (38)
Carolina loves athletic specimens and Delpit fits the bill. Matt Rhule will gamble on coaching those elite traits out of him.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 7 (39)
Miami continues its roster transformation with a productive running back out of Georgia, who has been a factory for NFL running backs.
| |||
From
Arizona Cardinals
Round 2 - Pick 8 (40)
Houston needs some assistance at cornerback. They are taking their shots but it has yet to lead to stability.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 9 (41)
Cleveland gets some competition along the interior defensive line. If Sheldon Richardson is released next offseason, the Browns have a ready-made replacement.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 10 (42)
Jacksonville already added a starting cornerback and a quarterback. The newest pick gives them a new starting left tackle and allows them to slide Cam Robinson inside.
| |||
From
Las Vegas Raiders
Round 2 - Pick 11 (43)
Cushenberry provides some stability along the interior offensive line for Chicago. He is a really talented player.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 12 (44)
Hunt is rising in the eyes of many. He has been present in my top 50 prospects for awhile. His future along the interior offensive line is bright.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 13 (45)
Edwards-Helaire is the perfect compliment for Tom Brady. There is no one that will outwork him. He can be trusted in every facet of the game.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 14 (46)
Denver gets a track star and solid cornerback in the second round. Igbinoghene is a great value in Round 2.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 15 (47)
Diggs has great length and will provide a much-needed attitude to that Falcons secondary.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 16 (48)
New York adds some wide receiver help in Round 2 but I suspect they are not done at the position.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 17 (49)
Pittsburgh gets a jolt to the right side of its offensive line with the addition of Wilson.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 18 (50)
Chicago adds a high-upside cornerback from the self-proclaimed DBU. They have a rightful claim to the title.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 19 (51)
The Cowboys continue building out their secondary after undergoing some changes this offseason.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 20 (52)
The Rams got rid of Todd Gurley but it had more to do with his contract. They add another field-stretching offensive playmaker.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 21 (53)
Philadelphia adds some pop on the edge with Lewis. His length and raw ability will give Jim Schwartz something to be excited about this fall.
| |||
Round 2 - Pick 22 (54)
Weaver does a fantastic job getting off blocks, which is essential for an edge rusher. He could ultimately be a steal if he buckles down and uses the doubters to motivate him.
| |||
From
Atlanta Falcons
Round 2 - Pick 23 (55)
