EDGE. Ohio State. Chase Young. 1. player. 59. <ul> <li><strong>Height: </strong>6-foot-5</li> <li><strong>Weight: </strong>265 pounds</li> <li><strong>Class: </strong>Junior</li> </ul>

The quarterback position could certainly end up being an option for the Miami Dolphins here. If Josh Rosen does not show significant improvement from his rookie year, Miami could immediately draft his replacement and cut bait with him just like the Arizona Cardinals did this off season.

However, in this 2020 NFL mock draft, we are going to assume that Rosen showed enough promise to allow the Dolphins to go in another direction. Instead of drafting a quarterback, Miami goes with Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young.

Young is an extremely talented player who is undoubtedly going to show out for Ohio State this season. He shows tremendous burst and bend around the edge and has enough power to occasionally create pressure on the bull rush. He is not as strong as former teammate Joey Bosa, but he has more raw athleticism and upside as a pass rusher. Simply put, Chase Young is a freak on the edge who has a real chance to be the first pick no matter which team is on the clock.

The Washington Redskins found their franchise signal caller in the 2019 NFL Draft, selecting Dwayne Haskins at number 15. In this 2020 NFL mock draft, the Redskins get him an elite weapon on the outside.

The 2020 wide receiver class is loaded with talent and Jerry Jeudy out of Alabama is the best of the bunch. Jeudy is a crisp route runner who shows elite speed on the outside. He is extremely dangerous on double moves and consistently creates yardage after the catch. Simply put, he is a dynamic playmaker who is only getting better. Jeudy could easily become the best prospect in the 2020 draft and is undoubtedly worthy of a top-five pick.
