2020 NFL Mock Draft: Redskins shock with Tua Tagovailoa pick, plus more results from CBS Sports HQ live mock

It's a very special Mock Draft Monday, and that's because CBS Sports HQ rounded up former NFL players and analysts to go pick by pick through the first round of the NFL Draft. This is the second straight Monday where our CBS Sports experts predicted how the first round of next month's draft will shake out. 

Among the experts that took part in Monday's mock draft included ex-NFL players Brady Quinn, Bryant McFadden and Danny Kanell; former NFL executive Scott Pioli; NFL insiders Jason La Canfora and Jonathan Jones; senior NFL analysts Pete Prisco, Will Brinson and John Breech; NFL fantasy analysts Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard; senior NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson and NFL writers Patrik Walker and Tyler Sullivan. Monday's mock draft included several shocking moves, a couple of trades and more than a few questionable selections.

A few surprising moves in this mock: Redskins taking Tua, the Jets and Dolphins executing a first round trade, Okudah falling out of the top-10, and only one RB being selected and not until the Chiefs with the 32nd overall pick.

Kansas City needs to upgrade their secondary and offensive line but running back is really interesting to me. They have not had a dynamic player there consistently since Priest Holmes and Jamaal Charles. Kareem Hunt was a good option short-term but this gives them a more reliable long-term fit.

With the 30th pick, the Packers and Pete Prisco select LSU WR Justin Jefferson. Interesting pick, as I've seen Jefferson's draft stock all over the place.

I think A.J. Epenesa can slide inside and play some 3T for the Seahawks even if Jadeveon Clowney returns. I would not pick Denzel Mims over Justin Jefferson.

Quinn thinks the Ravens should have tried to bolster their secondary. He also doesn't think the Ravens should feel the need to address the WR corps as Baltimore is a run-heavy offense. Maybe in the second round.

With the 28th pick, the Ravens select Baylor WR Denzel Mims. Love this pick, the Ravens didn't address their WR position during FA and they just traded Hayden Hurst.

Man, Quinn hands out his second consecutive D grade. Quinn doesn't see the scheme fit with Epenesa with Seattle. Thinks the Seahawks could have went DT here.

Kenneth Murray and Patrick Queen are ideal modern NFL linebackers. I like the fits quite a bit with the Patriots and Saints.

Vikings need a cornerback with Trae Waynes and others leaving the team over the past two offseasons. Minnesota able to land one of the draft's best cornerbacks late in the first round and don't have to trade up to do so.

A couple of edge players going back to back. Gross-Matos is not a splash player but he has been consistently productive. Minnesota gets a solid replacement for Everson Griffen.

I like Ezra Cleveland quite a bit. He is finally getting the recognition he deserves. We are getting close to the point that the hype has gotten a bit too carried away though.

Prisco said he contemplated drafting up to take a QB, but he said he is instead checking out the open market -- Jameis Winston, specifically -- to possibly come in to compete with QB Gardner Minshew.

Love the Josh Jones pick for the Jets at No. 18. Am I a bit concerned with his level of competition translating to the NFL? Yes. But that is overwhelmed by my excitement for how well he moves for a man his size. The Jets need to continue pouring resources into the offensive line and not get swayed by the flashy wide receivers in a deep class at WR.
