Predicting the 2020 NFL Draft with a first-round mock draft filled with intriguing selections throughout.

The 2020 NFL Draft class is absolutely loaded with talent at many key positions. First, there are many interesting quarterback prospects who teams will undoubtedly be looking to bring into the mix. The wide receiver class is as loaded as any class at the position in recent memory and there are many offensive tackles who have tremendous upside at the next level as well.

Defensively, this class is lead by an impressive group of edge rushers and cornerbacks. Simply put, the 2020 NFL Draft class is going to be loaded with players who can make plays in the passing game on the offensive side of the ball and defend the pass on defense. This obviously fits well in the pass-heavy modern NFL.

NFL teams who have set themselves up with extra 2020 NFL draft capital could be in a great position to land a lot of impact talent next April. This is going to be a talented class of players, many of who can come in and make a significant impact right away.

The team that will likely benefit from this strong class the most will be the Miami Dolphins. Due to trades where they gave up the best and most valuable players on their roster, the Dolphins hold three 2020 NFL Draft picks. They also have two picks in the second round and will likely earn a third-round compensatory pick for losing Ja’Wuan James in free agency last offseason.

Clearly, the Dolphins are set up to do well in the 2020 NFL Draft, and with three first-round selections, they will be the team most represented in this mock draft. That being said, they are far from the only team making significant additions in this post.

Alright, let’s get into it. Here is a complete first-round 2020 NFL mock draft.

Note: This draft order was determined and mock draft was completed before Sunday’s slate of games. We are not locked into any sort of exact draft order right now. A lot will change between now and April. This is just one 2020 NFL draft scenario.
