2020 NFL Draft: Saints make big move in 2020 NFL mock draft with trades

This is still a slam dunk pick here for the Cincinnati Bengals. No one had a better season than Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and he is the clear-cut favorite to go first overall to the quarterback-needy Bengals.

Andy Dalton was clearly not the answer for the Bengals’ future, and they tried their hand at Ryan Finley with no success as well. Cincy is in prime position to secure one of the best, most well-rounded quarterback prospects that I have seen enter the draft in quite some time.

Burrow’s pocket presence and escapability are second to none. He has a knack for extending plays, keeping his eyes downfield and delivering a strike to his target. He is a capable runner, an excellent decision-maker and can make every throw at the NFL level.

The Bengals should obviously listen to what other teams have to offer if they are in pursuit of the number one pick, but if they aren’t willing to give up a yacht-load of compensation, Burrow is a no-brainer at the top of the 2020 NFL Draft.

New Washington Redskins head coach Ron Rivera should absolutely love the spot that his team is in for the 2020 NFL Draft. A defensive mind like Rivera would be all over adding a blue-chip edge rusher like Chase Young to a young and up-and-coming defensive front in Washington.

Many people are starting to question Young’s production down the stretch of his final season at Ohio State while trying to look for flaws in his game. He was so dominant early in the season that people find it odd that he was unable to make a huge impact when it really mattered.

But those people likely didn’t watch his last few games. Teams were absolutely dedicated to taking Young away, pretty much at all costs. Young saw double teams play after play, sometimes even three offensive players blocking him. And despite that commitment to shutting him down late in the season and his two-game suspension, Young still led the NCAA in sacks and forced fumbles.

At the next level, teams will not be able to send two or three blockers at Chase Young every snap. They’ll be forced to have tackles try to block him one on one and that is where he shines. In fact, he’s nearly unstoppable. He has a multitude of tricks up his sleeves and moves in his arsenal that makes him a nightmare to block, and he will wreak havoc on any quarterback that he comes up against.
