Taking a look at the most likely teams to hold the number one pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and predict who they would take at the top spot.

The 2020 NFL Draft class has a chance to be special. There are many impact players with big-time talent on both sides of the ball who will have bright futures at the next level. In particular, this class is expected to be strong at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, offensive tackle and cornerback, with a ton of players worthy of going extremely early.

As per usual, the players who will likely go at the top will specifically play key positions. In particular, we see quarterbacks, edge rushers and offensive linemen fly to the top of the NFL Draft each year. The 2020 draft is unlikely to be an exception.

Between quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert, edge rushers Chase Young and A.J. Epenesa, and offensive tackles Andrew Thomas and Tristan Wirfs, most of the premier 2020 NFL Draft prospects play those specific positions.

In this post, we are going to take a look at the current most likely NFL teams who will be drafting high in the 2020 NFL Draft and who they would take if they held the number one overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

I just went through and picked the teams who have won one or fewer games through the first four weeks of the NFL season. Now, another team could certainly find themselves in the conversation for the top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the end of the season, but as of now, the seven teams mentioned in this post are the most likely to pick number one overall.

Who would they choose if they ended up with that all-important first overall pick? Let’s take a look.
