2020 NFL Draft: Post-combine two-round 2020 NFL mock draft with trades

Burrow going first overall to the Bengals and Chase Young going second to the Washington Redskins has been a staple of the mock draft scene ever since the 2020 NFL Draft order has been set. Young is almost inarguably the most talented player in the 2020 NFL Draft class and would be an incredibly tempting selection for any team in the top five to make. However, nothing is more important for an NFL team than finding a franchise quarterback.

The Redskins took a shot on a franchise quarterback last year, taking Dwayne Haskins with the 15th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, Haskins struggled throughout his rookie season and it is fair to question whether he is the right guy to lead the Redskins to the promised land.

If Tua Tagovailoa did not come with any health risks, there would be two obvious franchise signal-callers in the 2020 NFL Draft class. Both him and Burrow are top-tier prospects at the all-important position, especially now that every report about Tua’s health is positive. Perhaps nobody had a better combine than Tua Tagovailoa, who answered many questions about the health of his hip with a strong medical check.

Tagovailoa already showed elite on-field production. Now, he is much healthier than we expected. There are still durability concerns here, but I would no longer be surprised to see the Redskins take a shot on his upside with the second overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Washington has a new coaching staff that is not emotionally connected to the selection of Haskins. Nothing is more important than finding the right franchise quarterback to build around and Tua undoubtedly has a chance to be the right guy.
