Tua Tagovailoa. 1. player. 59. . QB. Miami Dolphins

Another 2020 NFL Mock Draft, another instance of the Miami Dolphins selecting Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 1 overall pick. The Alabama quarterback has everything that the Dolphins need to restart their offense with elite accuracy, tremendous poise and decision-making, and a solid set of physical tools. He can be the face of the franchise in South Beach.

EDGE. New York Jets. Chase Young. 2. player. 30.

While I fully understand that the New York Jets need an offensive lineman in a big way, they can’t pass up on an elite player like Chase Young, who also plays a position of need for this team. The Ohio State edge rusher has been an absolute force for the past year with the Buckeyes, a fantastic blend of speed and power that can get after opposing quarterbacks with regularity. That’s something the Jets haven’t had in a while.

56. . QB. Cincinnati Bengals. Justin Herbert. 3. player

As impressive as the Cincinnati Bengals offense has looked — despite their offensive line — under Zac Taylor, they need a fresh start. They need to take a shot at something beyond mediocre and that means moving on from Andy Dalton in favor of Oregon’s Justin Herbert. The Ducks quarterback checks every physical box and could be a special player at the NFL level.

Jeffrey Okudah. 4. player. 45. . CB. Denver Broncos

Man, how disappointing have the Denver Broncos been this season? Their defense was supposed to be their strong suit under Vic Fangio and even that has left something to be desired. They look to remedy that here with Jeffrey Okudah of Ohio State. The cornerback is absolutely a lockdown player on the outside that can help replace Chris Harris and shoot some life into this defensive unit.
