First-Round 2020 NFL mock draft with many interesting trades

After trading down a couple of spots, the Jacksonville Jaguars go on the clock here at number 11. I could see this team going in many different directions with this pick, but Isaiah Simmons stands out as the right choice for them.

Simmons is a truly dynamic defensive prospect who fits the modern game extremely well and has massive upside at the next level. Simmons is an incredibly athletic player who can do almost anything on the field. He was a true hybrid player in college, making plays as a linebacker, safety, edge rusher and even slot cornerback. Simmons is a legitimate sideline-to-sideline defender who tackles well in space, plays strong man and zone coverage and can create pressure on the passer.

Just get this guy on the field and let him make plays. Despite trading down, the Jaguars find themselves an elite-level prospect in this 2020 NFL mock draft.

While I do prefer Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb undoubtedly has a case to be the top wide receiver in this draft class. He is never the fastest or most elusive player on the field, but this guy simply knows how to make plays.

Lamb is a strong deep ball receiver who tracks the ball in the air extremely well. With high-level body control in the air and overall contested-catch ability, Lamb is also one of the premier jump-ball receivers in this class. He is also a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands.

Lamb has some nice elusiveness in the open field, but it is his run power that really stands out at the wide receiver position. He runs angry and is a load for defensive backs to take down in the open field. The Las Vegas Raiders have an obvious need at the wide receiver position and Lamb is one of the best in a loaded class. Snagging him here at No. 12 would be fantastic for this team.

Defensive tackle stands out as a major need for the Indianapolis Colts and Javon Kinlaw just feels like a guy who general manager Chris Ballard will fall in love with. With Kinlaw still on the board for the Colts at No. 13, he is their pick in this 2020 NFL mock draft.

Kinlaw is incredibly quick off of the snap and extremely powerful at the point of attack. He can shoot the gaps and create pressure on the passer or hold his ground and plug holes against the run. He is also a high-motor player who is never going to give up on the play. Kinlaw has an incredible combination of length, power and athleticism on the inside that will make him a problem at the next level. He would be an ideal choice for the Colts in the first round.

Jordan Love is one of the biggest boom-or-bust prospects in the 2020 NFL draft class. His combination of arm talent and athleticism at the quarterback position gives us plenty to dream on. He is not the most consistently accurate passer, but he does show the ability to place the ball extremely well at times.

If Love can put it all together at the next level, he could become a legitimate superstar. That being said, his college production is less than ideal and he is undoubtedly a raw player who is going to need some work.

Based on his talent alone, Love is a first-round pick. If you want to dream on his upside, you could probably talk yourself into taking him in the top ten. In this 2020 NFL mock draft, Bruce Arians falls in love with his arm and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take him as their franchise quarterback of the future at pick 14.

Wide receiver and cornerback are undoubtedly on the radar for the Denver Broncos here, but there is some nice depth at both of those positions in this class. On the other hand, this offensive tackle class is not deep and if the Broncos want one, they better take Mekhi Becton here.

Becton is a massive offensive tackle prospect (6-foot-7, 369 pounds) who can absolutely maul defenders with his sheer size and power. He is a devastating run blocker and an impressive pass protector, especially against power. However, do not let his size fool you. Becton is incredibly mobile for a man of his size and should be able able to handle speed on the edge at the next level.

The Broncos need to invest in their offensive line if Drew Lock is ever going to reach his full upside. Becton is a potentially special offensive line prospect who could quickly become a player they can count on up front.
