First-Round 2020 NFL mock draft with updated 2020 NFL Draft order

With the first 20 picks of the 2020 NFL Draft set, we predict the first round with this NFL mock draft.

With the regular season behind us, the first 20 picks of the 2020 NFL Draft are set. The complete draft order obviously will not be known until after the Super Bowl, but we can now start to make even more educated guesses on where specific players will end up.

In this mock draft, we predict the entire first round with the completely updated 2020 NFL draft order. Up first, the Cincinnati Bengals.

What more can we say about Joe Burrow? This guy has been absolutely incredible this season and took it to the next level on Saturday in the CFP Semifinal. In that game against Oklahoma, Burrow completed 29-of-39 passes for 493 yards, seven touchdowns and no turnovers. If he wanted to pour it on, Burrow could have piled up even more impressive number as 403 of those yards and all seven touchdowns came in the first half.

Burrow is the top quarterback prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft, showing pin-point accuracy, precise touch, elite pocket presence and fantastic mobility. He also has enough arm talent to make any throw on the field. The Cincinnati Bengals will not mess this up. They will take Burrow to lead their franchise into the future.

This one is not quite as straightforward as Burrow to Cincy, but it is still pretty obvious in our current climate. Chase Young is without a doubt the best non-quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft. With Burrow going number one and Tua Tagovailoa struggling with injuries, Young is the obvious choice for the Washington Redskins in this mock draft. That being said, this could also be a trade down spot when the actual 2020 NFL Draft rolls around.

The Redskins have obvious needs on the offensive line and secondary that could be addressed with a pick made later in the top ten. If someone wants to pay a fair price to trade up for Young or a healthy Tagovailoa, Washington will likely be all ears.

However, with trades off of the board in this mock, the Redskins simply sit back and take Young. He is a fantastic edge prospect who is a dominant pass rusher and defends the run well. He is a guy who Washington could bring in and build their defense around.

The Detroit Lions are another team that I could see considering a trade down scenario. However, if they stay put, this pick will likely come down to Ohio State cornerback Jeffrey Okudah or Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown. Neither player would be a bad selection, but Okudah is a true game-breaker at a premium defensive position. He gets the edge here.

Okudah is a fantastic man-to-man cover corner who has an impressive combination of size, speed and athleticism on the outside. He is an extremely fluid defender who changes directions well and breaks on the ball on a dime. Okudah also shows tremendous natural ball skills and is not afraid to come up and make plays against the run. He is a shutdown cornerback prospect in the making and will have obvious value at the next level.

I could see the New York Giants going in many different directions with this pick. Offensive tackle, defensive end or wide receiver would not surprise me here. That being said, Isaiah Simmons stands out as one of the best players on the board and would also fill a major need for the team.

Simmons is a freak athlete on the defensive side of the ball, showing incredible speed and quickness at the linebacker position. He plays all over the field for Clemson, shining at linebacker, safety and even slot cornerback for the team. Simmons has a unique combination of size, speed and athleticism on the defensive side of the ball and is the kind of player that the Giants could build their defense around. Snagging him at four would be a smart move.
